He is survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Delores Domincovitch; son, Marty (Lisa) Heckman; precious granddaughter, Marisa Heckman; sister, Ruthann McCrary; nieces, Jennifer (Adam) Meadors and Kate Davis; nephews, Charles McCrary, John (Meagan) McCrary and Kyle Upton; great-nieces, Hailey Meadors, Violet Meadors, Callie McCrary, and Abby McCrary; great-nephews, Logan and Levi McCrary.

Frank was a 1967 graduate of Lebanon High School and attended Middle Tennessee State University before enlisting in the United States Navy. Over the course of his distinguished 30-year military career, he rose to the rank of Master Chief, serving aboard eight different aircraft carriers during multiple conflicts, including the Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf War. His dedication and service earned him numerous commendations and medals, including the National Defense Service Medal.
Following his retirement from the Navy, Frank worked as a USPS clerk at the Mt. Juliet Branch until 2021. He was known for his warmth and friendly demeanor, always making people feel welcome.
Frank enjoyed the outdoors, traveling with friends, and watching classic John Wayne films. He took great pride in being the “Prop Grandpa” for Rockstar Academy of Dance, supporting his granddaughter and her dance family with enthusiasm and love. Frank had a magnetic presence – he could light up any room, was always dancing, and had a nickname for everyone. With his great sense of humor and generous spirit, he truly never met a stranger.
He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
