In Loving Memory of Frankie Max Stinnett, March 24th, 1955 – June 4, 2026

Frankie Stinnett, born in Dayton, TN, passed away on June 4, 2026. He will be remembered as a kind, generous soul with a big smile, a loving heart, and a wardrobe full of camo. Frankie was loved by everyone who had the privilege of getting to know him. He was the first to lend a helping hand, always ready with a smile, and happy to sit down for a game of poker—smiling whether he was winning or losing. His kindness, warmth, and gentle spirit touched the lives of family members, friends, neighbors, and anyone fortunate enough to cross his path.

He is survived by his beloved partner of more than 30 years, Carolyn Trivette; Carolyn's daughter, Lisa Piestrak, and her husband, Scott; and grandchildren, Emily and Kyle. He is also survived by grandchildren Lawrence (Giselle) and Joesph Adams, the sons of Carolyn's late son, Larry Adams, and his late wife, Ingrid.

Frankie was preceded in death by his parents, Elbert Vador Stinnett and Frances Doucal Brooks; his brothers, James William Stinnett and Charles Wallace Stinnett; and his sister, Joyce Ann Stinnett Crowe.

He is also survived by his sister, Vickie Jean Stinnett Tharpe, and her husband, Larry Tharpe; his brother, Ronald Dean Stinnett Sr., and wife, Linda Stinnett.

May Frankie always rest in peace, knowing he was deeply loved and will be forever missed.
