David Wagner Franz

October 11, 1930 ~ February 23, 2022

David Wagner Franz, age 91+ years and still a Child of God, beloved son of Ruth Amanda and Henry Martin Franz, was born October 11, 1930, and went Home to Jesus on February 23, 2022.

Dave is the third of four children and is survived by his sister, Marjorie Ann (Marge); his sister, Ruth Kathryn and brother, Henry Braun (Hank) and parents having preceded him in death.

Dave was married to the late Maxine Golightly, and is the father of Peggy Lee, David Steven, Charles Martin and Timothy Adam. There are several grandchildren and great grandchildren in whom, as with his children, he took great delight. He later married the late Barbara Bishop and much enjoyed her family.

The armed services of his country called Dave as a very young man and he served proudly in both the Air Corps and the Army, in Korea (twice) and other places of conflict, honorably retiring from the Services after 20 years. He was a soldier through and through, deeply loyal and proud of his country.

His working career was mainly with Boeing Aircraft in Wichita, Kansas, where the family made their home. His fine mechanical skills were used in other employment, as well. Hunting, fishing and camping with his family filled Dave with joy, as did a good competitive game of Dominoes, which he enjoyed until the end of his life.

Dave grew up in the Alva First Presbyterian Church, which he always considered to be his home church and where his service will be held Friday, March 4, 2022, at 11 a.m.. Memorial gifts may be made to the church.

Wharton Funeral Chapel is entrusted with final arrangements, and his family will greet friends at the chapel on Thursday evening, March 3, 2022, after 6:30 p.m.
