Called home to God on September 6, 2026 at Christchurch Hospital, aged 86 years. Former husband of the late Colleen, with whom he had four daughters, Deborah, Michelle, Catherine and Melissa; and former husband of Pamela, with whom he had his daughter Theresa. Much loved father and Grandad, who will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his family. We entrust Frank into the loving and merciful hands of God, in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection and eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. May Our Blessed Mother Mary welcome him with tenderness, and may the angels and saints lead him into Paradise, where there is no more sorrow or suffering, but everlasting peace in the presence of God. Messages to the Jennings Family, c/- PO Box 31300, Christchurch 8444. A graveside service for Frank will be held at Waimairi Cemetery, Christchurch, on Friday, September 18, 2026 at 1.30pm.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Amen
