Frank K. Gipson, age 72, passed away on March 12, 2004, after a long battle with emphysema and lung cancer. He fought this battle with the same strength, courage, and dignity that he lived his life.
He was born on the family i in Johnson City, Texas, on May 15, 1931, to Clyde and Tempie Maddox Gipson. It was here that he developed his love of the outdoors. As a child, Frank's favorite past times were breaking horses, hunting, and fishing with his brother on the Pedernales River. He passed his love of hunting and fishing on to his sons as they spent many hours together on the river and the Texas coast. Frank was loved as a husband, father, friend, and very proud grandfather.
Frank served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War where he received two purple hearts, two bronze stars and numerous other medals for his service.
After his return to the states, he became a diesel and automotive mechanic, which turned into a life long career. Frank had a natural ability and there were very few things that he couldn't repair. He was looked upon as an expert and a teacher.
