Frank Warner Niles,

Frank Warner Niles III, a family man, a teacher to hundreds, a mentor to many, and a friend to all – died on August 25th, 2021, with his wife and children by his side after an extended Covid illness. He was 56 years old.

Born on June 23rd, 1965 in Jacksonville, Florida, Frank was a member of Arlington Baptist Church and a PE Coach at Parsons Christian Academy. His true calling was to work with kids and he proved that every day. He loved watching kids come to know Jesus, giving them high- fives every day and photo bombing any picture that he could. He loved to fish, coach volleyball and softball, and collect Hot Wheels cars. He especially enjoyed working at the Haunted House every year, interacting with young and old alike.

Most of all, Frank adored his family. Frank met the love of his life, Dawn Niles, and married her over 31 years ago. It was rare that you would see one without the other and both often remarked that she had surely come from his rib as they fit together so well.

Frank is now worshipping at the feet of his Heavenly father along with his earthly father John Niles. His memory will be cherished and kept alive by his mother, Edith Hoyt; his wife, Dawn Niles; his three children, Jennifer (Bruce), Frank IV, and Haleigh; and his five grandchildren, Kimber, Emelynn, Aiden, Kensley, and Hunter. He is also survived by his sister Johna (Troy), and brothers Chuck (Rita) and Mike (Denise), as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.

A Celebration of Franks life is scheduled for Thursday, September 9th, at 6:30 pm at Arlington Baptist Church. Guests are encouraged to wear bright colors as neon pink and yellow were Franks’s favorite colors. All guests are asked to wear masks as well.
