Connie Harris Franklin, age 60, of Sevierville, passed over Sunday, September 13, 2009, at the family home. He was a “prodigal son” of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was saved at an early age but blindness caused many struggles and trials throughout his life. Through his illnesses Connie came back to his Lord and could not stop talking and singing about him. His last days of consciousness were spent singing and praising him. Two of the songs he sang in the hospital were “How Great Thou Art” and “Come Home.” He was known as a very compassionate and caring person. Connie called people daily to see how they were doing and if he didn’t call, they would call to see if he was okay. He was loved so much by his family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Lois Ailene Franklin; brother, Art Sylvester Franklin, brother-in-law, Kenneth Clabo.
Survivors include his devoted wife, Vickie; son, Cletus Franklin; father, Charles Franklin; brothers and sisters-in-law, Larris Hope and Sharon Franklin, Nathan and Debbie Franklin, Curt and Sherry Franklin; sisters and brothers-in-law, Charlesetta and Dennis Gray, Drama and Lucky Watson; sister, Rhonda Clabo; numerous nieces, nephews, and special friends.
