Frank Walsh

Frank Mitchell Walsh passed away on Monday at the age of 58 years old.

Frank is preceded in death by his father, Jim, and his mother, Mary. He is survived by his loving wife, Janet, and two children, Michael and Taylor. There are also many family and friends who live on and were close to Frank’s heart.

From early on in his life, Frank was a high energy individual who sought to soak up as much positive experience as he could. In his younger years, he enjoyed practicing the martial arts with the hopes that he could achieve Bruce Lee godhood if he trained hard enough. He also channeled this energy into skiing - where he took a year off to be a “ski bum” and enjoy the thrill of the outdoors.

Later in life his priorities changed, focusing more of himself on family, friends, and business. He was a loving father and husband who found the most joy out of giving his family the World. Whether supporting education and artistic endeavors or a multitude of other passions through his insightful wisdom. He was always there to lend an ear for his family and friends. Providing life advice, career direction, business insight, or his opinion of the best movie and restaurant in town.

He was larger than life and would light up a room with his gregarious personality and giant smile. While enjoying having time to plan his next greatbusiness venture, more than anything he enjoyed being in the company of others. A sacred spot for him was Shuswap Lake where he loved barbecuing and hanging out on the boat. As well, he enjoyed sharingstories and laughs over a delicious meal, sitting in silence enjoying an epic movie, going for walks to share wisdom that had been passed down from his father, or hitting the golf course with Janet and friends.

He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and those who knew him. But we all have peace knowing that he lived fully and ate as much chocolate cake as a person could eat.

The celebration of life is to be held this Sunday, May 24th, 2015 at the Cavalry Temple at 3pm. Address: 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops, B.C.
