Frank Workman Jr
Frank Workman Jr, passed Sunday November 1, 2020 surrounded by the love and laughter of his wife and sons, his sisters/brothers in law and his nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank Workman Sr. and Bertie Workman (McClellon) both of Cleveland Ohio.
He leaves behind his wife of 41 years, Melissa Workman (Raines) of Chesterfield Missouri. His two sons, Jeremy Workman; Justin Workman, wife Amy Workman (Davis) and his 8 amazing grandchildren Ashley Johnson (Fetty), Matthew Fetty, Courtney Workman, Katelin Workman, Madison Workman, Isabella Workman, Nancy-Jo Workman, and Ellie -Ana Workman; his nieces Sarah Lafferty husband Andrew Lafferty, Elizabeth Stumfoll husband Jake Stumfoll and great niece Juliette Stumfoll and his nephew Jared Wright wife Annabeth and great nephew Mac Wright.
41 years ago Frank started his family by falling in love with his wonderful wife Melissa. He spent his life as the provider and protector of his home. Frank was dedicated to providing for his family, but his generosity extended way past the walls of his home. He ensured his sons knew the value of hard work, and the joy of giving to others.
His amazing work ethic was matched by his desire to have a good time in life. He loved to laugh and tease, never taking anything too seriously. Frank taught all those around him to look a the lighter side of life. From his days of playing in a band Good Times (Cleveland OH) to taking his grandkids to DisneyWorld and the thousand laughs and memories along the way Frank had an amazing life.
The value of his moments have provided a life of memories for those he left behind. His family is comforted by Frank’s decision to trust in the redemptive power of Christ, ensuring Heaven as his final home.

I remember him for his love of laughter, his love for his family, his love and loyalty to his pastor and his church and his fun-loving personality. He was a man that will be missed by many and will never be forgotten. Thankful to have known and served the Lord with him and his family. Been praying for all of you. ❤
An amazing father in law and one of the most light hearted people I ever have known, Frank always made is laugh. He was the greatest Papa to my 4 girls, and they adored him. I am so thankful for how he raised his son to be the kindest, funniest, generous man that he is today. I am blessed to have known him, and am grateful he lives on in our hearts and memories.
