Frank Wesner

Bertie “Frank” Wesner was born January 24, 1955 in Ashland Kansas, and departed this life July 24, 2024, age 69, in Overland Park Regional Medical Center after a short illness.

Frank was the only child of Arlo Wesner and Eva “Faye” Loomis Wesner, who both preceded him in death.

Frank graduated from Ashland High School with the class of 1973 and from Garden City Community College in 1975. He lived in Clark County Kansas his entire life except when he attended college and when he worked in Ford Kansas for a brief time.

Frank loved the family farm and raising cattle. He worked at several jobs through the years, all dealing with the farming and cattle industries.

He was only twenty years old when his dad passed away, and he took great pride in caring for his mother until her death.

His parents owned and operated Wesner Furniture for many years, and Frank was a great help to them in that business.

Frank was a member of Ashland Community Church, and enjoyed meeting with others at the Ashland Senior Center.

He was preceded in death by his father in September 1975 and his mother in November 2005; as well as his paternal and maternal grandparents, along with several aunts, uncles and cousins.

Frank will be laid to rest in a committal service in the Ashland Highland Cemetery next to his parents at 11:00 on Thursday, August 22, 2024. His friends from the community are invited to attend.
