Francis Paul Croghan
September 11, 1963 — November 17, 2018
Francis Paul Croghan, son of Peter and Adelaide (Gaul) Croghan, was born September 11, 1963 in Panama, Iowa. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Panama, where he also attended grade school at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. He graduated from Harlan High School in Harlan, Iowa.
Frank was later drawn to Colorado where he settled in the Denver area and raised his three children: Megan, Ryan and Jonathan. He was an extremely hard worker and was proud of his work in the construction field as a supervisor for AMI Mechanical for over 30 years.
Frank enjoyed the outdoors spending many hours hunting, fishing and gardening. He also spent time researching his ancestry, which led to him making a couple of trips to Ireland. He was currently working on a return trip with his children. He also enjoyed collecting memorabilia. Most important to Frank was the love he shared with his family. He was a loving father and papa to his granddaughter Teagan whom he adored and loved reading to and telling stories to about his childhood in Iowa. Even when he moved to the Denver area, you couldn’t take the farmer out of him as he had a few tractors in his back yard. He will always be remembered as a hard working selfless man who always put his family and friends first.
Frank died at his home in Littleton, Colorado on Saturday, November 17, 2018, attaining the age of fifty-five years, two months and six days. He was preceded in death by his parents.
