Harley was born August 11, 1946 in Columbus, Ohio, the oldest child of Virginia (Collins) Frankville. Harley grew up in Ohio and Illinois during childhood. He honorably served 6 years in the Army, including two tours in Vietnam. He lived in Kansas for many years before finally settling in Kearney, where he has lived for 20+ years. He was a painter by trade and passed away while working.
Harley is survived by his son, Tanner Marion of Kearney Mo., who resided with him at the time of his death; his son, Jon Marion of Chicago, Ill.; as well as three grandchildren; four half siblings and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Virginia.
Harley loved his family and friends, golfing, shooting pool, throwing darts, camping, canoeing and annual trips to Winfield Music Festival every September. He was a friend to many and we hope you will come and celebrate his life on July 28 at Fat Boys, one of his favorite hangouts.
