Frank L.

Kroupa Jr.

Frank L. Kroupa Jr. passed on August 12, 2026, after battling stage 4 cancer.

He was born in San Antonio, Texas, but eventually moved to Wichita Falls when his father was stationed at Shepard Air Force Base. His Paternal Grandparents immigrated from Czechoslovakia and his Maternal Grandparents immigrated from Ireland. Frank was drafted into the Marine Corps in 1973 where he served with the 2nd LAAM BN in Vietnam. He received a Purple Heart after being shot and was honorably discharged from the military.

He was the person that everyone went to for advice regardless of what you were asking he would try to find the answers. He loved learning something new everyday and then sharing that knowledge. And he had the best sense of humor! It didn't matter what life threw his way he would find the joy in every situation.

Frank was proceeded in death by his Father, Mother and brother Louis.

He is survived by his stepson Randy Jones, stepdaughter Jennifer Rivers, daughters Leslie Callahan, Kimberly Kroupa and his son in law Josh Callahan. His grandchildren Jesse Rivers, Jakob Kroupa, Jett Callahan, Gracie Rivers, Lucas Wyrick and Jaxon Callahan. His great granddaughters Adi and Ari Kroupa. Love doesn't die, people do. So, when all that left of me is love, give me away. "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:57)

In order to honor Franks wishes there will be no service.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the local Hospice of Wichita Falls.
