With heavy hearts and deep sadness, we announce the passage of Frankie Ven Yets, a dear father, friend, and pillar of strength, who left this world on 28 June, 2025 at the age of 62, after a courageous and expanded fight with a courageous and increased health issues. Although his body was tired, his soul remained flexible, and he left behind a permanent heritage of love, perseverance and family devotion.
Born in 1963, Frankie was a native of Lexington, Tennessee, where he spent most of his lives. He was known as a hardworking, humble person throughout the community, who never shaken by lending the hand that helped. Whether his loyalty to his neighbors, or his family’s unwavering support to his neighbors, Frankie was a calm but permanent impact on those who knew him.
Franky’s greatest pride and deepest happiness came from being a father. He is lovingly remembered by his two sons, Vesley Yets and Charles Landon Yets and deeply mourned, who stood to face many difficulties by his father. In his last years, his devotion was a will for the bond shared by him – which was built on love, laughter and mutual respect. Frankie often talked about how proud he was to men that they had become. Memories that are built together – from fishing trips to quiet talks on the porch – now there are treasures that their sons will take forward because they respect their memory.
Throughout his life, Franky endured several tests, but he faced him with Stoic dignity and calm confidence. His journey was not easy, but he ran it with grace. Despite the physical toll of his illness, Franky never lost his soft performance or his dry intelligence. He had a gift to tell the story, often sharing stories of his short days, with humor and routing. Those who spent time with them were touched by their honesty, their character’s strength and their loyalty.
He leaves behind a close family and a cycle of friends who will miss his calm appearance and real heart. Although she is no longer with us in the body, the soul of Frankie Wen Yets lives on the faces of her sons, in laughter shared on old stories, and in the lives of those whom she touched with her mercy.
As we mourn her loss, we also celebrate her life. Life marked by the rich or appreciation, not by the rich, but by the prosperity and calm, firm love that he gave very independently. Frankie’s memory will be honored in a private family service in Lexington, and his final resting place will be one of peace and memory, as he returns to the land he loved very much.
In exchange for flowers, families please tell local Dharamshala care or any organization to donate to any organization that struggles with chronic illness – close to Franky’s heart.
Relax, Frankie. Your fight is over, your pain is gone, but your love is eternal. You have missed, but never forgot. Goofandme
