David Charles Frantz, 83, a resident of Lamar, passed away on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at his home. He was born on February 11, 1942, to Samuel and Verna (Freeling) Frantz in West Winfield, Pennsylvania.

David was nothing short of an amazing man. Most knew him as Dave, and a select few knew him as Big Dave, Steeler Dave, or Big D. He retired from Walmart D.C. and most knew him there as Dad. If you spent 5 minutes or more with him you knew he was the biggest Steelers fan, and he loved to tell jokes. His smile, laugh and personality were infectious. Growing up all the nieces and nephews claimed him as their favorite. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren were fond of him too. He bribed them all with candy and the change in his pocket that he always managed to have. He was a regular Casanova with the ladies, and that paired well with the love he had for his Cadillac. He was a long-time patron of Friendly’s Tavern and you could always catch him with his buddies hanging out at Porky’s in Scranton. David had lots of family and friends from Pennsylvania, California, and Arkansas and he still never managed to meet a stranger. He had the biggest heart and never failed to light up a room when he walked in.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Samuel and Verna Frantz; one brother, Ronald Frantz; and three sisters, Evelyn Cauldwell, Peggy Frantz, and Margarette Frantz.

Those who are left to cherish the memories of David are his children: one son, David Allen Frantz; two daughters, Shannon Barkley-Frantz (David Noyes) and Tara Frantz (Derrick Partin); ten grandchildren, Crystal, Daniel, Keaton, Rhayven, and Rhianna Frantz, Ashley Arredondo-Smith, Tyler Turner, Erin, John, and Summer Newberry; 15 great grandchildren; former longtime spouse, Wanda Frantz; and a brother, Herb Frantz; along with many more family and friends.

Memorial Services to be held at Second Baptist Church on Saturday, September 6, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. Following the service, his ashes will be laid to rest at Patterson Springs Cemetery, Oark, Arkansas.
