Maynard G. Shank, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on April 10, 2026, at the age of 92.
Born on June 17, 1933, Maynard lived a life marked by dedication, service, and deep love for his family. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Korean War, carrying with him a strong sense of duty and honor throughout his life. He was also a proud member of the American Legion, where he found camaraderie among fellow veterans.
Maynard was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Keith and Mildred Shank; his sister, Donna Maki; and his brother, Richard Shank.

In his leisure, Maynard enjoyed golfing and took great pleasure in the simple moments—especially those shared with his grandchildren, whose laughter and presence brought him immense happiness.
