Frank William Earl passed away on Monday, July 30, 2018 at Rooks County Health Center in Plainville, Kansas at the age of 62. He was born on January 7, 1956 in Hays, Kansas to the late Robert Orville and Laura Louise (Ballard) Earl. After graduating from high school he went on to attend vocational technical school. On May 30, 1981 he was united in marriage to Carolyn Sue Dotson in Olathe, Kansas.

Frank was an avid sportsman. He loved hunting and fishing as well as basketball, baseball, and bowling. He always enjoyed being outside whether he was working cattle or just having fun. He proudly served as a volunteer firefighter with the Woodston Fire Department for over 20 years.

Frank is survived by his wife Carolyn Earl of the home in Stockton; daughter Helen King and boyfriend Thomas Pyle of Stockton; sons Irvin Earl and his fiancé Lexi Ott of Stockton, and David Earl and wife Ashley of Stockton; sister Linda Thompson of Woodston; brothers Charles Earl of Woodston, Donald Earl and wife Jacque of Stockton, and Robert Earl and wife Darlene of Osborne; grandchildren Laura King, Skylar King, Kayden King, Lucas Earl, Cobi Earl, Cameron Earl, and Cayson Earl who is due in October.

He was preceded in death by his parents Robert and Louise Earl, and daughter Sarah Ann Earl.

Not one to be limited by a loss of hearing, Frank was proficient in sign language and had a great sense of humor to boot. Until we see him again, we will miss the joy, laughter and happiness he brought to all of us. Most especially through the one universal sign he took great pleasure in sharing, displaying his batting average, for those he knew and loved the best.

Funeral Services will be held at 11:00am on Friday, August 3, 2018 at Main Street Christian Church in Stockton. A private family inurnment will take place at a later date. Visitation will be from 2:00-8:00pm on Thursday at the funeral home in Stockton with the family receiving friends from 6:00-8:00pm. Memorials are suggested to the Woodston Fire Department and may be sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, 723 N 1st Street, Stockton, KS 67669.
