C. Brian Frank, age 51, of Valparaiso passed away Sunday, April 20, 2025. He was born on August 5, 1973, in East Chicago to the late Joseph and Marsha Frank. As a teenager, Brian had dreams of joining the Unites States Marine Corps and then becoming an Indiana State Trooper. He was full of life and loved playing guitar.
