Franklin Moline Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Honquest Family Funeral Home with Crematory - Roscoe from Dec. 22 to Dec. 29, 2025.
Franklin "Frank" P. Moline, 65, of Roscoe, IL, passed away on Monday, December 15, 2025. He was born on August 20, 1960, in Portsmouth, VA, the son of Donald E. and Joyce A. (Kamrar) Moline. As the son of a U.S. Marine, Frank and his family moved every couple of years. In 1974, the family finally settled in Rockford. He graduated from East High School in 1977 and immediately secured a job at UPS, where he remained for 47 years, retiring in September of 2025. He owned and operated R & F Siding for many years.

Frank had a work-hard, play-hard mentality. He was a huge car enthusiast and attended many local car shows throughout Illinois and Wisconsin. His hardest decision was deciding which car to drive to each show. He enjoyed fishing in Canada and snowmobiling up north. During holidays, he could always be found napping on the floor until dinner.

He is survived by his mother, Joyce Moline; siblings, Mary (Kurtis) Baraconi, Jennifer (Scott) Kinison, and Donald (Yolanda) Moline Jr; his niece, Elizabeth (James) Martin; his nephew, Joseph (Shannon) Baraconi; great-niece, Zorah Martin; and his great-nephew, Jensen Martin. Frank also leaves behind many close friends. He is preceded in death by his father, Donald Moline.

Frank meant a lot to a lot of people, and his passing will be felt for a while.

Memorial service will be at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 8, 2026, with a visitation from 12:00 noon until the time of the service at Honquest Family Funeral Home with Crematory-Roscoe Chapel, 11342 Main Street, Roscoe, IL 61073.

We are very sad to hear of Franks passing . Many fishing trips together over many years, always enjoying his big laugh! We were afraid to look at these when Jim didn´t get a call back, which was not like him as he always did, he will be missed, Jim & Pam Jewell

I have so much to say but find myself at a loss for words. Met Frank in 1994 at UPS on Kennon Rd along with many other dear friends for years. Lots of very very fun memories but to highlight the type of guy he was when I started as an Air driver picking up packages he would actually time his route to meet and help me load my heavier stops. I never asked. So happy I came back to UPS 4 years ago and at least got to see him almost everyday and had some more good laughs again. I will forever miss him my friend Janet
