March 25, 1951 – March 10, 2026
Saltillo- Franklin “Frank” Charles Breaux passed away peacefully Tuesday, March 10, 2026 surrounded by family and loved ones. Frank was born March 25, 1951 and grew up in Aberdeen, Mississippi where he met his wife, Nancy Myers Freeman. They were married in 1972 and moved to Saltillo, Mississippi where they started their family.
Frank worked at Ken Jeter Store Equipment from 1971 until 1986. He followed his calling to ministry in the late 80s where he was interim pastor at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Tupelo. He later played a role in the establishment of Parkside Baptist Church in Guntown. Frank then became the pastor of Bethany Baptist Church in 1995 where he served until 2016. Since his retirement, he has taught prophecy at Victory Baptist Church on Sunday mornings, and bible study at Camp Creek Baptist on Wednesday nights.
Over his lifetime, Frank had many hobbies and activities that kept him busy. He enjoyed playing the guitar, gunsmithing, target shooting, hunting, and fishing. He spent many days working on his properties in Caledonia and Aberdeen, as well as woodworking, cooking, and simply enjoying friendships. He was well known for telling silly jokes and comforting friends in need.
Frank was survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Nancy Myers Breaux of Saltillo; sister, Karen Foote of Aberdeen; children, Matt Breaux (fiancé, Christy) of Saltillo, Danielle Passmore (Jason) of Guntown, David Breaux (K.C.) of Mantachie, and Will Breaux (Ashley) of Amory; grandkids, Ana, Eric, Brayden, Ada, Ezra, Ashtyn, Brooks, Cullen, Colton, Colee, and Adevay; sisters-in-law, Brenda Robinson of Caledonia, Patty Barron of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and Judy Fulgham of Charleston, South Carolina; and many beloved nieces, nephews, and neighborhood friends.
