Marlin Chase Francis

May 11, 2002, to June 21, 2022

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Marlin Chase Francis on June 21, 2022.

We were deeply blessed to have had Marlin in our lives for twenty years. He was a gentle soul with a mischievous nature who loved joking around with his family. He loved his family deeply and especially cherished the time spent with his nephews Aiden and Hudson.

Sadly, Rudy Tecza passed away peacefully at his home on Tuesday, June 21, 2022 at the age of 73 years.

He leaves to mourn his wife of 43 years, Phyllis, son Frank “Justin”, daughter Alison (Mark) Bannister. He also leaves the lights of his life, his grandsons Brandon and Keaton, who he loved dearly, and his special niece Lisa who kept him supplied with fry bread. He also leaves his sister and brother-in-law Mary (Greig) Hand, in-laws Eddie and Liz, Joyce and Wayne, numerous nieces & nephews and many friends.
