Quesenberry, Frank Edward

Frank Edward Quesenberry, 83, of Christiansburg, Va., went to Heavenly home on Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Frank passed from his earthly home with his family by his side. Frank was born on June 21, 1931. He lived a remarkable life, enriched with abundant love, happiness and honor.

Frank’s unwavering devotion to the Lord lit his path in every endeavor, from loving husband to patriarch of the Quesenberry clan, from proudly serving his country to passionately tending his farm. His legacy is monumental, as he undoubtedly impacted every person that was fortunate enough to be graced by his companionship.

Frank was easily recognized around town with his cowboy hat and boots. Steadfast in his traditions and work ethic, he never failed to savor every bit of God’s glorious creation, in which he found childlike joy.

Frank proudly served in the Korean War. He continued to live his life in service once home as a steward to the land. He farmed the majority of his life and loved spending time in the fields with his son and their cows. An avid traveler, he explored the country throughout his career as a long-haul truck driver. His most treasured job was loving husband, and he lived for time with his family. Frank was an active member of the Valley View Primitive Baptist Church of Riner.
