Franklin Flynn

Gene Franklin Flynn, 76, of Pinnacle, NC, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loved ones on Thursday, May 16, 2024. His passing has left a void in our community, a testament to the impact he had on our lives.

Mr. Flynn was born on June 13, 1947, to the late Paul Monroe and Annie Whittaker Flynn. He was a volunteer at King Outreach Ministries. Franklin was an avid gardener passionate about his yard and garden. He enjoyed sharing the fruits of his labor with his friends and neighbors, as they looked forward to receiving his fresh vegetables every year. He loved playing golf until his health interfered.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Harold Flynn, Thomas Flynn, and Wilson Flynn, and his sisters, Shelby Sowder, and Ruby Bowman.

Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife, Frankie Flynn; two daughters, Scarlett Barr (Brian) and Stephanie Harper; four grandchildren: Everett Kiser (Courtney), David Kiser (Sarah), Cassidy Harper, and Chaz Harper; six great-grandchildren: Ellie, Everett Jr., Emma, Elizabeth, Ivarson, and Calahan Kiser; and a sister, Ellen Patton.

The family will receive friends and loved ones at Slate Funeral Home from 2:00 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. on Sunday, May 19, 2024. A memorial service will begin at 3:00 p.m., with Rev. Tim Smith and Rev. Van Smith officiating.
