Frank Whalen

Frank Whalen, born January 20, 1944, passed away peacefully on the morning of March 2, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Agnes and Tom Whalen; his sisters, Mary Lou Flye and Betty Jo Hobson; his brother, Tom Whalen; Niece Shelley Crosby, Nephew Bill Hobson, and many extended family members.

He is survived by the love of his life and devoted wife of 63 years, Mary Beth. He also leaves behind his children: Erin (Chris) Herrera, Patricia (Kim) Voss, and Frank (Holly) Whalen. Frank treasured his grandchildren — Taylor Voss, Cory (fiancée Harli Butler) Voss, Ian Herrera, Perrie Whalen, and Jace Whalen — who were the pride and joy of his life.

Frank was an incredible athlete and was honored as a 2025 Greater Pueblo Sports Association Hall of Fame inductee. Beyond his athletic accomplishments, he was a truly honorable man who treated every person he met with the utmost respect. A fighter in every sense of the word, Frank was a cancer survivor whose strength, integrity, and character inspired all who knew him.

Above all, Frank loved his wife deeply and cherished his family wholeheartedly. His legacy is one of faith, perseverance, humility, and unwavering love.
