He was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Mabel Frankens, and his brother, Randy Frankens.

Bobby was a dynamic minister of the gospel and a fervent preacher of faith. Over the course of 48 years in ministry, he preached scores of revivals across the United States and in Europe. Throughout his ministry, he witnessed countless miracles, healings, and the outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon an innumerable number of people.

He was especially passionate about missions work. That passion led him to participate in approximately 30 Church-in-a-Day projects and to raise thousands of dollars for missions around the world.

Beyond the pulpit, Bobby deeply loved his family. He was happiest when surrounded by his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren - and that is exactly how he finished his course.

Pallbearers will be his sons, Charles Frankens, Roy Frankens, Scott Frankens, Philip Frankens, Timothy Frankens, and son-in-law, David Goins.

Honorary pallbearers will be his grandsons.

In lieu of flowers, we’d love for you to consider giving to something that truly mattered to Dad - the NLC Expansion Fund or Missions. These were part of his heartbeat…building the Church and reaching people for Jesus. Thank you for helping carry his legacy forward. https://newlifecorrigan.com/give or 1000 N.
