He is preceded in death by mother; Lyda R. Sledge, father; Francis P. Sledge II, and brother, Donald V. Sledge.
Frank served his country in the U.S. Air Force, where he was a member of the Titan II Missile Combat crew. He was one of four airmen who were chosen to fly to Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif. to launch the first and only Titan II Missile warhead.
He was an insurance agent where he met countless people and made some everlasting friendships. Frank was a member of 12 Stone Church, and a former member of the Gwinnett Rotary Club, of which he was president in 1984-85.
He was always looking for the next big adventure, whether it would be flying a plane, scuba diving where he took many underwater photos, driving the race car that he owned, cruising on his motorcycle or traveling the world, he was never one who liked to stay idle. Frank was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and mentor to all.
