Chester Mynes Obituary
August 10, 1937 - April 13, 2025
CHESTER FRANKLIN "FRANK" MYNES, 87, of Hurricane, West Virginia, passed away on April 13, 2025, in his hometown of Hurricane, WV.
Born on August 10, 1937, Frank was a proud graduate of Hurricane High School, Class of 1955. He went on to attend the University of Kentucky and later earned his Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine from Kirksville College, dedicating his life to healing and serving others.
Frank was a longtime and faithful member of Forest Burdette United Methodist Church, where he was an active participant in the Loyal Pioneer Sunday School Class. His faith, compassion, and sense of humor touched many lives.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Hilda Mynes, and five loving children: Karen Mynes Allen (Arizona), Rebecca Robbin (Merel Kimmel, Pennsylvania), Dr. Tim Mynes (Jeanne, Virginia), Dr. Stephanie Marazon (Dr. Christopher Marazon, Ohio), and Tammy Nelson (West Virginia) and sister Donna Mynes Varian. He was the proud grandfather of sixteen grandchildren who brought immense joy to his life.
Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Chester Franklin Mynes Sr. and Mildred Louise Mynes; his brother, Bayliss Mynes; his sister, Janice Fields Mynes; his daughter, Diana Mynes Allen; and his grandson, Billiejoe "BJ" Nelson.
A man of many passions, Frank loved spending time with his family, working the land through farming and gardening, and sharing laughter through practical jokes especially with his nieces and nephews, who will remember his playful spirit fondly.
Frank lived a full life marked by dedication to his family, his faith, and his community. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Forest Burdette United Methodist Church.
Funeral service will be 1 p.m. Thursday, April 17, 2025 at the Forrest Burdette United Methodist Church. Visitation will be from 11 a.m. til 1 p.m. prior to the service. Burial will follow in Valley View Memorial Park.
