Francis Connolly

Frank Connolly, 68, of Copperas Cove, Texas, passed away on March 9, 2026. Born February 7, 1958, Francis will be remembered as a hard-working man who devoted his life to service, family, and quiet joys shared with those he loved.

Frank served in the United States Army for 22 years, retiring with the rank of Sergeant First Class. Following his military career, he became a government contractor and later advanced to a government employee working in cyber security, continuing a life defined by dedication and responsibility.

Frank was married for 40 years to the love of his life, Beverly Connolly. A true family man, Frank always placed family first—whether attending PTA meetings, coaching ball teams, or faithfully supporting his children in their activities. In later years, his greatest joy became his grandchildren. In his personal time, Francis enjoyed bowling and bingo, finding simple pleasure and companionship in the pastimes he loved.

Frank is survived by his wife, Beverly Connolly; children Katrina Connolly, Tonya Wagg and husband William, Ryan Brock and partner Traci Gibson, and Ashley Irion and husband Michael; and grandchildren Kayla Echevarria and husband Luis, Aubree Wagg, Allanna Wagg, and Madeline Irion.
