OBITUARY
 
Frank James DeVoe
November 28, 1948 - August 10, 2025

Frank James DeVoe, 76, of Lewisville, Texas, passed peacefully from this earth on the morning of August 10, 2025.

Born November 28, 1948, to Bill and Marie DeVoe, Frank grew up in Farmers Branch alongside his sister, Patricia Noska; brother, Mike DeVoe; and "baby sister," Debra Caskey. After graduating from R.L. Turner High School in 1966, he served his country in the United States Navy from 1966 to 1969.

On March 30, 1973, he married the love of his life, Debbie, and together they raised two children: Kyley Wayne DeVoe (Brenna) and Tiffanie Leigh Jackson (Tim). Frank’s greatest joy came from being "Pappy" to his grandchildren - Taylor Ashleigh, Karlee Kay Grisham (Cole), and Kenedy Kay—and great-grandson, Wesley Wayne Grisham.

Second only to being a devoted husband, father, and pappy, Frank built a long and dedicated career, retiring from Southwestern Bell/AT&T after 30 years of service, followed by 10 years with Southwest Airlines.

With a deep love for family, community, and the outdoors, Frank was a man of many passions. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and rodeoing with his kids. He was a proud Endowed Member of Grapevine Masonic Lodge #288 and treasured his time as a board member of the North Texas High School Rodeo Association. Frank enjoyed cruising to many destinations with friends and family - so much so that he reached Platinum Level. When staying closer to home, he could often be found cheering for his beloved Cowboys, Stars, and Rangers, but most importantly, watching westerns on channel 462 every day.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, August 16, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at Mulkey-Mason Funeral Home in Lewisville, Texas.

Frank will be remembered for his quiet strength, sharp wit, and steadfast love for the people in his life. He had a way of making others feel seen and valued—whether through a conversation, a shared laugh, or a simple act of kindness. His life was shaped not by grand gestures, but by the everyday moments that stitched together a legacy of integrity, generosity, and love. While we will miss him deeply, we take comfort in knowing that his spirit lives on in the stories we tell, the lessons he taught us, and the love he gave so freely.
