Wow,I just heard about Dexter.We worked at Allied Chemical together.My Condolences 🙏🏾🌹.
Always a pleasure to be around. You were my moms military friend and I ended up going to school with Montrel who is still my friend. You will be missed. Always a smile on your face.
When I was going to be station in Korea in 1983, my grandfather Albert Franklin from Memphis told me that I had a cousin station in Korea. God bless us to be station together in Camp Humphrey. I meet my cousin Dexter on the basketball court. He was smooth and Good. We became good friend. He acted and treated me like he was my brother. I was HONORED and PROUD to call and tell everybody in Korea that he was my COUSIN. Thank you, God, for letting me meet an awesome cousin like Dexter!! I was shocked and surprise to hear of his passing. Sending my prayers and condolences to the family. R.I.P my friend / my cousin.
May Jehovah give us the strength to support each other. And may we put our full trust in His “Guarantee” for our everlasting future.
Sending my prayers and condolences to the family. I have been knowing Dexter for over 25 years and I tell you what, he was always full of life and laughter. R.I.P. Dexter!
Our hearts are with family and friends, aching with the pain of losing Cousin Dexter. But let’s hold on to the firm hope of the resurrection as promised by Jehovah. He will stand up again. Jehovah “guarantees it!”
Love you Dad!
As we prepare to lay to rest our brother, close friends, ride a die partna known to my sons as Uncle Dexter. A great whole remains in our family that cannot be filled. Too many memories, too many laughs, too many long talks, He was a concerned man he cared about every detail and was not willing to leave anyone out. He married my sister when she was only 19 and I was 18. We all grew into ourselves together. It cuts like a knife for this life to be gone. Now we can only hold on to each other in disbelief and wait till we meet again my brother/cousin/ friend/Hommie! Dexter !
John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.
So, I say, rest Dexter, our brother until we all meet again, those that are Gods children.
To the family I say, may God continue to give you peace that surpasses all understanding…
God Bless

My prayers and condolences are with the Franklin family at this homecoming service for their brother, Dexter Franklin. May God Bless your family with “Lots of Love.”
Man I at a lost for words right now I cannot believe this here. Please Jesus give this family the strength to endure during this time. Dex you will truly be missed such a gentle giant with a heart pure as gold. This guy would give you the shirt off his back shes off his feet and food out of his mouth. I pray that God will continue to richly bless you all. The psalmist said I will look to the hill from whence cometh my help. All my help comes from the lord. Family look to the hills from where all your help will come from. God Bless you all.
