Frank A. Heard, age 78, passed away at home on July 2, 2021. He was a lifelong resident of the Shady Grove community in Cumming, Georgia, and a member of Shady Grove Baptist Church.

Frank is preceded in death by his wife of 56 years, Betty Green Heard and parents, Clarence and Letha Shadburn Heard.

He is survived by his children, Joey Heard, David Heard, Nancy Heard and Robert (Heather) Heard.

Throughout his lifetime, Frank earned a living as a life insurance salesman, a convenience store owner, and an egg farmer (to name a few). For many years he worked as a building contractor, leaving his mark on countless homes and families in the community. Frank worked with the singular purpose of taking care of his children and grandchildren.

Pop Frank loved his grandchildren to a fault. He never said "no" to the "grandbabies". He was so proud to be blessed with eight grandchildren. These include Chelsie, Sarah, Elizabeth, Abigail and Henry Heard, Presley, Camryn and Jackson Skinner. A great-granddaughter, Lillian Kate Wilbanks was the sparkle in his eye.

He is also survived by brother, Roy (Paula) Heard, sister-in-law, Gail Green (Phil) Shewbert, sister-in-law, Helen Green and brother-in-law, Freddie Green.

Several nieces and nephews also survive.
