Frank Flansburg Jr.

FRANK FLANSBURG JR. Frank M. Flansburg Jr. (Sept. 14, 1944 - Sept. 18, 2010), age 54 plus 12 years, completed his life's journey in the early morning hours of Sept. 18, 2010. Frank was born in Philadelphia, and grew up in Edgewater Park, N.J. Since 1985, Frank called Las Vegas home after moving his family here from the east coast. From his voluntary service as a U.S. Marine Corps sergeant in the Vietnam War to a team leader for Potlatch Corporation, Frank worked hard throughout his life without complaint. If there was a job to be done - any job, he did it with pride. And more often than not, Frank worked more than one of those jobs at the same time. For a man who did not define himself by his job, Frank was an exercise fanatic with an unparalleled work ethic, obnoxious humor, and a principled and humble approach toward life. At age 54, Frank and his family received the gift of life in a donated heart, which extended his time with his family another 12 years. Today, he is survived by his five children, Deirdre Majkowski (Paul), James C., Brian M. (Jennifer), Frank M. III (Anneliese) and Jessica S.; his 10 grandchildren; his sisters, Carol Kane, Lynn Gosizk, Diane Carlson, Mariellen Parks and Jaimee Gilmartin; and most importantly his wife, of nearly 40 years, Micki. Of all of the lives he touched and all he accomplished during his time with us, perhaps the two most important are that he lived his life as a good man and had truly found the love of his life with Micki. He is missed more than words can express. We will be celebrating his life 4-5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 22, at Palm Mortuary, 7400 W. Cheyenne Ave., with a reception immediately following. The family requests in lieu of flowers that donations be made to Nevada Donor Network at www.nvdonor.org/donate.html
