We are so sorry for your family's loss. We didn't know Franklin that well, but we worked with him on Seussical and loved him. He was so kind, pleasant and talented. He was an inspiration to our son, Lucas and was never to busy to answer his "many" questions. God has one more shining star in heaven now. We will keep you all in our prayers.

Hello, I knew John while I attended Shelburne Junior High, and my 9th grade year at Lee (I transferred away after the 9th grade). Although I didn't get to know him well, I remember him as being remarkably intelligent and a gentle soul. I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my heart-felt condolences.

Dear Wagner family,
I was in choir with Franklin for several years, and was his roommate during our European tour. He sang in my home church in Waynesboro with me in 1996 during our Spring Tour. Franklin was a wonderful person, and I was so shocked and saddened to hear about his passing. He, and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Matt Williams 2008-11-10 07:06:03

I attended William & Mary with Franklin and we shared many happy times in DoubleTake. I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of such a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with your family...
Amanda Jonas 2008-11-11 07:32:08
I became a freshman at William and Mary and joined DoubleTake in 1999. As such, I did not have the opportunity to personally get to know Franklin. However, the legacy he left with friends in DoubleTake spoke volumes about his kindness and character. I will keep him and your family in my prayers.
John Doyle 2008-11-11 08:02:30
I knew Franklin when we were in the William and Mary Choir together during his first year (I was a senior). As I was on my way out I did not get to know many of the new members very well, but I remember Franklin clearly as a kind young man full of positive energy. I was very saddened to hear of his parting and send you my heartfelt condolences. Franklin and his family and close friends are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Leigh Anne Boyd 2008-11-11 09:30:55
I am so sorry to hear of Franklin's death. I knew him at William & Mary as part of the DoubleTake a cappella group. I will be holding Franklin, family, and friends in prayer this week.

I just learned of your loss today. My heart is full for you. Mary Anne Bennett
Mary Anne Bennett 2008-11-11 15:21:04
I am so, so saddened by Franklin's passing. He was one of the most thoughtful people I had the privillege to spend time with at William & Mary, and my happy memories of the talent and wonderful sense of humour that he brought to our a cappella group, DoubleTake, will be with me always.
Melody Zimmer 2008-11-12 09:31:50
Annie,
I just learned about your loss last night. I am so very sorry. You and your family are in my thoughts. Veronica
Veronica Whalen 2008-11-12 09:39:09
You may remember Franklin and I celebrated our 30th birthdays at the home of Janie O'Connor in May 2006. I knew Franklin through the choir at St. Joseph\'s on Capitol Hill, where he was always a gracious and committed participant. I would also watch Sara when he was out of town. Words can\'t express how sorry I am about his passing. He loved his family very much and I know you loved him. You\'re in my prayers.
Lucy Ament 2008-11-12 09:49:12
Franklin was a shining light in the lives of those who knew him, even those of us who only knew him slightly. I met Franklin at William & Mary, as part of the choirs, and every time I interacted with him he always made me feel important and cared for. I'm so sorry for your loss - your family is in my prayers.
Samantha Montgomery 2008-11-12 10:29:15
My thoughts and prayers are with Franklin\'s family. Franklin always had a presence--the ability to light up a room with his character. He was a beautiful man and will be missed by everyone whom he touched. I hope he finds the birdhouse in his soul...
Geoffrey David 2008-11-12 10:40:55
The entire St. Mark's Players community expresses their deepest sympathies to the family. Franklin touched many lives on and off the stage and his presence among us will be greatly missed.
Jerry Dale - St. Mark's Player 2008-11-12 15:28:39
Franklin and I were friends from W&M Choir and we were also in some some shows together. He was just so vibrant and full of life that it seems inconceivable for him to be gone. My heart is heavy and I grieve with you. Both he and your family are in my prayers.
Margaret Walsh Rudmann 2008-11-12 21:19:36
I was so very saddened to learn of Franklin's passing today. I remember him with great fondness from the year I spent in choir with him at W&M - he was the kind of person full of spirit and love that brightened the lives of everyone around him. His family and friends are in my prayers, and I know that he will be missed.
Chris Crowl 2008-11-13 06:00:44
I am so sorry to hear of Franklin's passing and am deeply saddened. He was one of my very good friends after we performed in 1776 together. He was a wonderful man and a true friend. He will be missed so much but I know there is a special place in heaven for him.
Courtney Carter 2008-11-13 14:09:52
I had the privilege of being a member of the William and Mary Choir with Franklin. I remember him as a talented man who was full of kindness and generosity. I'm truly saddened to hear of his passing. I pray for God's comfort and abundant grace during this difficult time.
Scott Ruggiero 2008-11-17 07:42:51
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Franklin was an energetic and talented fellow member of the William and Mary Choir, as well as other arts groups at William and Mary, and he will be sorely missed.
Jennifer Diffell 2008-11-19 16:28:01
I knew Franklin very briefly when he attended law school at Catholic. He was such a happy, warm and fun guy. My prayers are with your family during this hard time.
Katherine Bezold 2008-11-21 02:14:48
Wagner Family-
Words cannot even begin to express the loss that so many feel with Franklin's passing. I worked with Franklin at the Lazy Susan and we stayed in touch over the years. He touched so many lives in such a positive way. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all during the coming months and if you need anything, please let us know.
