Franklin (Frank) DeWayne Reiss, 75, of Weston, MO passed away April 5, 2023, surrounded by family and loved ones. Frank was born in Clay County, MO on September 16, 1947, the son of Frederick “Wayne” and Elizabeth Anne (Borland)Reiss. He lived the majority of his life in the Weston, MO area. He graduated from West Platte(Weston)High School in 1965, where he enjoyed being on the football and wrestling teams. He then went onto Maryville, MO for a year of college, where fate would introduce him to his future bride, Rebecca (Becky) Hiatt, but not before sending him to Vietnam. He returned from SE Asia with a few scars, a couple of Purple Hearts, and a Bronze Star with Valor to denote heroism. Few people except those closest to him knew how brave he was or how much he put other’s needs before his. A character trait that he would hold though out his life. He and the love of his life, Becky, would write love letters to each other during his tour, that later their children would find, laughing and teasing them about, but he always said they kept him focused on returning to her. He married Becky Hiatt on May 17, 1969, in St. Joseph, MO. They would be married sweethearts for nearly 54 years. He returned to college and graduated from Missouri Western State College with a BS in Accounting, while supporting his young family and working at TWA in the overhaul base. After over twenty years, he retired from TWA to pursue his passion in accounting. They say if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. Frank found this with Dale Ferrin, at Ferrin Accounting of Platte City, MO, where he would take ownership of the business upon Dale’s retirement, and expand it to an Atchison, KS office. He built lasting relationships over the years with his clients and caring staff. He would be there until his death. Frank loved fishing, golfing, watching sports, but also intellectually stimulating debates, on almost any topic. He was the person family and friends called if they needed help with just about everything. He was a loving husband, a caring father, a jovial papa, and a true friend. His passing leaves an unfillable gap for all who loved and knew him. He is survived by his wife, Becky Reiss of Weston, MO, two children, Ed (Becky) Reiss of Omaha, NE, Cindy (Cedric) Reiss-Clark of Malvern, PA, two brothers, Fred (Becky) Reiss of KCMO, and Donald (Janice) Reiss of Cummings, KS, seven grandchildren, three great grandchildren and one on the way, several nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, uncles, aunts and cousins. Preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and Elizabeth Reiss, daughter, Jean Anne Mitchell, great grandchild, Vincent Reiss Hayes, five siblings, Mary Anne, Waunita, Jesse, Gloria and Diana Reiss and nephew, Adam Reiss.
