Frank graduated from Phillips Community College. Frank had a love for fishing, the beach, and vacationing with family and friends. He had a larger-than-life personality and would help anyone with anything. He was also an avid animal lover, so much so he raised 7 Purebred Golden Retrievers from pups!

Frank is survived by his sons, Frank E. (Tammy) Collette IV of Brandon, MS, Chris (Lindsay) Collette of Florence, MS, Daniel (Kayla McCoy) Collette of Pearl, MS; brother, Perry (Peggy) Collette of Madison, MS; step-brother, Paul (Andrea) Beaver; and grandchildren, Brady Collette, Aiden Collette, Avery Collette, Aniston Collette, Piper Collette, Willa Collette, Baker Collette, Ivy Collette, Stella Collette, Liam Collette.

He is preceded in passing by his parents, Frank and Betty Collette; and brother, Kenneth Collette.

A visitation welcoming family and friends will be from 10am-11am with the Celebration of Life service to begin at 11am at Natchez Trace Funeral Home in Madison, 759 Hwy 51.
