Our beloved father, grandfather, and friend, Sherman Ray Frank, passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by loved ones, on January 20, 2021.  He was born on April 23, 1940, in Provo, Utah, to George and Sylvia Frank. He attended schools in Provo and Spanish Fork, Utah.

On February 8, 1961, Sherm married his sweetheart since Junior High, Jerri Lyn Butler, in the Salt Lake City Temple. Sherm and Jerri lived in Spanish Fork and Benjamin, Utah, throughout their lives.

Sherm worked as a heating and air conditioning technician at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, for 27 years, where he retired.  Sherm loved his work and made every day a great day. He was always early for work and always whistling. He enjoyed practical jokes and laughing with those he worked with.

After retiring from UVRMC, he spent time traveling with his sweetheart. They especially loved going south to Arizona where it was warm during the winter months.

Sherm was a devoted father, grandfather, and husband. His family was always his top priority. He supported everything his kids and grandkids were involved with, never missing an event and sometimes even attending practices. He was the best cheerleader around! He loved spending time at his family cabin in Indianola, being outdoors, riding four-wheelers, and was an avid hunter.

Sherm is survived by his children: Allyson (Ron) Nielsen, Shane (Janet) Frank, Heather (Cory) Slaymaker; 16 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren, with two more on the way. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jerri Frank; daughter, Michelle Frank; father, George Bates; mother, Sylvia Balzy; step-father, Ralph Balzy; father-in-law and mother-in-law,, Mark and Leah Butler; brothers: Reed, George, Floyd, Johnny, and Hyrum Frank; and sisters: Sylvia Lee, Sheila Frank, and Ruby Frank.
