Frank Bargers Obituary

Frank J. Bargers, Jr., passed away July 30th, 2017. He is survived by his wife, Barbara, his son Bruce and daughter-in-law Brenda, his daughter Brenda and son-in-law Will, and four grandchildren: Andrea, Brittany, Clint, and Justin. He was 84 years old.

Frank was born in Walsenburg, Colorado, in 1932. He grew up in Catholic schools, where he developed a love for Notre Dame football that would last the rest of his life.

After high school he joined the Navy, where he was stationed aboard the USS Floyds Bay and the USS Yorktown. When his enlistment was over he returned to Colorado, where he met Barbara. They were married in 1958, and had four children.

Frank turned to drywall to make his living, and in 1972 he bought Tri-City Drywall. Over the next 40 years, he would grow it to become one of the largest drywall contractors in Colorado Springs, an achievement of which he was deeply proud.

His family, friends, and employees will remember him for his kindness, loyalty, and abiding sense of humor.

A private ceremony is being held for family. There will be a casual gathering to celebrate Frank's life on Wednesday, August 16th, 2:00 p.m., at Hotel Elegante (2886 S. Circle Drive). All are welcome.
