Franck Eric Elie Grippon, born April 17, 1958, spread his wings and flew away to continue sharing his love and joy on July 7, 2025. Originally from France, Franck moved to the United States with his family, and went on to serve and fight valiantly for the United States Army.
He was a fantastic father, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend, and comforter - he loved and cared for everyone. He impacted hundreds of people and held a special spot in everyone's hearts.
Franck is survived by his three children: Franck, Phillip, and Nathalie; grandchildren, Brielle and Kadin; great-grandchildren, Oliver and Valentine; his brother, Sylvain; numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews; his adopted son, Bart Craft; and numerous others. His legacy, love, and perseverance will be carried on by us all.
