TYNER, Frank E.

Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Friday, February 9, 2018 <<< Frank E Tyner, 78, of Lake Havasu City, passed away peacefully on Jan. 28, 2018 surrounded by his loving family. Frank was raised in Wabash, Indiana. He started his career with the U.S. Navy as a cinematographer and photographer. After leaving the Navy, he moved to Las Vegas where he worked as a freelance contractor. He moved on to the Nevada test site where he worked for more than 30 years assuming responsibility for production on government contract projects. Frank led a life full of adventure. He traveled the world, had many amazing life experiences, but the beauty of Costa Rica captured his interest most of all, ultimately becoming his favorite vacation destination. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Julia Dawes and Lewis Tyner, and his brother Gerald Tyner. Frank is deeply missed by his life partner, Shannon Murphy; his son, Eric Tyner and daughter-in-law, Tanja (Hechler) Tyner; his treasured grandsons, Ryan and Blake Tyner, who will never forget their “papabear.” Frank also is survived by his brother, Barton Tyner, of Fort Wayne, Indiana; his sister, Dianne Linkenhelt, of Gainesville, Florida; nieces, nephews, and a countless number of friends. “Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die”. A celebration will be at a later date to remember his unforgettable life. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home. Thoughts and condolences can be sent to the Tyner family at www.lietz- frazefuneralhome.com.
