Frank Rhodes

Frank Leo Rhodes walked with the spirits Tuesday, November 17, 2015, and is now at peace.

He was born February 20, 1943, in Northport, Mich. to Grace Theodore.

Frank served in the United States Army from 1962-1965. He trained at Fort Mead, Maryland, and went on to be stationed at Dexheim, Germany where he was an Armored Personnel Carrier driver.

Frank is survived by his good friend and partner Carol Prevo; stepchildren, Todd (Kris) Prevo of Charlevoix, and Carie (Andy) Livingston of Port Richey, Fla.; nine grandchildren, Levi Schwander, Robert Schwander, Robert Livingston, Dustin Prevo, Rachel Livingston, Lucas Prevo, Trevor Prevo, Walker Schwander, and Lily Prevo; brothers, Robert Whiteloon, and Eugene Cairns; sister, Helen Jimenez; and by his nephew and wife, Ronald and Marci Whiteloon of Charlevoix who were very helpful to “Uncle” during his last few months. His favorite furry friends Bubba and Lilly will miss him.

Frank very much enjoyed being outdoors. Friends would often see him putt-zing through Bells Bay State Park looking for wildlife, or just parked in a campsite taking in the quiet. He was always very proud of each of his grandchildren, and what they were up to from visit to visit.

Visitation will be 6-8pm, Friday November 20, at the Winchester Funeral Home in Charlevoix. Funeral will be 11am, Saturday, November 21, at the Winchester Funeral Home, the Reverend Sam McClellan officiating. Burial will take place at Greensky Hill Indian Cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Charlevoix County Humane Society, 614 Beardsley St, Boyne City, MI 49712.
