Frankie Behm, age 71, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2026. He was born on December 29, 1954, and lived a life defined by love, devotion to family, and appreciation for life's simple and meaningful moments.

Frankie was the devoted husband of Brenda Lee Behm, whom he loved deeply. Together, they built a strong and loving family that remained his greatest source of pride and joy.

For more than 25 years, Frankie worked as a dedicated roofer. He took great pride in his work and was known for his strong work ethic, reliability, and willingness to lend a helping hand. He believed in providing for his family through honest, hard work.

He is survived by his loving children: Jennifer Behm; Brenda Lee Behm (Tyler Rowe); Angie Behm (Chaz); and Michael Behm. He was preceded in death by his beloved son, Frankie Behm.

He was a proud and loving grandfather to Justyce, Faith, Grace, Kylee, and Kenadie, and a cherished great-grandfather to Ramera and Raeli. His family was his greatest blessing, and he deeply valued every moment spent with them.

Frankie is also survived by his siblings: Alice, Katherine, Albert (Linda), Alberta (Pete), Mary (Larry), Cindy, and Joe (Cheryl); his mother-in-law, Judy Newman; along with many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Kathryn Marie Behm and Clifford Eugene Behm (Betty); his siblings Butch, Charlotte, Mike, Candy, Patty, and Glenn; his sister-in-law Debbie; his brothers-in-law Bobby and Jimmy; his niece Ann; and his nephews Rio and Dennis.

Frankie enjoyed spending time outdoors, especially fishing and hunting. He was a devoted fan of the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Bears and rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on his favorite teams. Above all, he loved his wife and family unconditionally. His kindness, humor, unwavering strength, and steadfast devotion will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Although he is no longer with us, the memories he created and the love he shared will continue to live on through those he touched. His legacy of love, hard work, strength, and dedication to family will endure for generations to come.

Forever loved, forever missed, and forever in our hearts.
