Franklin Durniat

Franklin Durniat of Toledo, Ohio, passed away January 21, 2022, at Union Hospital in Terre Haute, Indiana, surrounded by family. He was a graduate of St. Francis De Sales High School in Toledo, Ohio, and Wheeling Jesuit College in Wheeling, West Virginia.

If anyone knew Frank, they knew he enjoyed horse-racing and college football, but his most proudest treasures are his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Leo and Evelyn (Kozlowski) Durniat.

Surviving are siblings, DiAnne Allen, Richard Durniat, Lori (Charlie) Church; children, Julie (Shon) Olson, Andrew Durniat, Michael (Marcia) Durniat, Kasha (Matthew) Tucker; grand-children, Hayden, Seth, Morgan and Conor; great-grand-child, Scarlett; and many nieces and nephews.

At his direction, no services will be held and cremation will take place. Should friends so desire, individuals should make donations to the American Red Cross or donate blood in his honor! Online condolences may be made to www.debaunfuneralhomes.com.
