Obituary

Craig Thomas Franks, born on October 20, 1965, in Toledo, OH, passed away on September 8, 2024, in his beloved hometown. Craig was a devoted husband to Annie Franks (Glass), with whom he shared 15 wonderful years of marriage. He was a loving father to his daughter, Stephanie Franks, and stepchildren, Sarah and Cody Glass. A proud grandfather, he cherished his time with Logan, Eli, Corbin, and Elizabeth, teaching them the joys of fishing, hunting, and the importance of faith in God.

Craig dedicated 30 years of his life to Ford before retiring, and his commitment to his work was matched only by his devotion to family and community. He was known for his generous spirit, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. An active member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Craig found fulfillment in participating in church activities and sharing his love for Jesus with others.

A passionate outdoorsman, Craig enjoyed fishing, hunting, and spending quality time with his family. His favorite saying, "You always have time to go fishing," reflected his belief in making time for what truly matters. He lived a life full of love, support, and guidance, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew him.

Craig is survived by his father, Thomas Franks, and his stepdaughter, Sarah Glass, along with his beloved grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
