Frank Dennis Collins

In Loving Memory of Frank Collins, a Beloved Husband, Father, and Grandfather. Frank Collins passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. He leaves behind a legacy of warmth, kindness, joy, and unwavering love. Frank was born on April 21, 1939, in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of Harold and Margaret (Bedord) Collins. A devoted husband, Frank shared a beautiful bond with his wife, creating countless cherished memories together. As a father, he was a pillar of strength and support, always there to offer guidance and encouragement to his children. His love knew no bounds, extending to his grandchildren, whom he adored and showered with affection. Frank had a passion for the outdoors, especially the tranquility of the lake. He generously provided a lake home where family gatherings became treasured traditions. Whether it was boating, fishing, or enjoying water sports, Frank's enthusiasm and joy was infectious. Sunset cruises became a beloved ritual, a time for bonding and togetherness. His kindness, generosity, and zest for life will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Though he may be gone, his spirit will live on in the countless hearts he touched. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Ascend Hospice or St. Paul’s Catholic Church Building Fund, in honor of Frank's legacy of love and generosity. Frank is preceded in death by both of his parents, Harold and Margaret. He is survived by his loving wife, Kay (White) Collins; son Scott (Nancy) Collins; daughter, Denise Tietgen; brother Harold E. Collins; sister Carole Melton; and grandchildren, Jessica Collins, Alexis Domian, Charlie Tietgen IV, Claire Tietgen and Abby Tietgen. A visitation will take place on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at St. Paul’s Catholic Church from 1:00-2:00 P.M., with a funeral mass beginning at 2:00 and a graveside service to immediately follow at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery in Lenexa, Kansas. May he rest in peace, forever sailing on tranquil waters, surrounded by the love of his family, who are comforted by the thought of reuniting with him one day in heaven.
