Frank Harvey Domonousky

Frank Harvey Domonousky, age 63, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his family, on July 12, 2024.
He was born on June 20, 1961, to Sandra and Franklin Domonousky in Memphis, TN.
Frank attended Chopticon High School in Leonardtown, MD, graduating in 1979. Shortly after, he moved to Georgia to begin a new chapter in his life. He attended DeVry Institute of Technology, earning his bachelor’s degree in computer information systems. In 1984, he married his beloved Catherine McGrath, and they welcomed their first son, Frank, in 1986, followed by Brad in 1988.
Frank was a man of immense strength, intelligence, and determination. He possessed the willpower to succeed and thrive in life, with a generous heart full of love and understanding. He believed that faith, family, and wonderful friends are what truly make life worthwhile.
Beyond his roles as son, husband, father, brother, friend, and uncle, the role of grandfather elevated his love, compassion, and commitment to family to new heights. His first grandchild, Drew, who could not pronounce “GP” (short for “grandpa”), called him “BP.” The name stuck, and he was known as “BP” from that point forward. His grandchildren, Drew, Franklin, and Link, were his greatest pride and joy. His new favorite pastime was spending time with them, showering them with gifts, love, and surprises. He was one of their favorite people, and they always felt how much “BP” cherished them. To his many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews, he was known with affection as “Uncle Frank.”
Frank was a natural entrepreneur from a young age, working side jobs to fund his college education and turning them into small businesses. He went on to establish numerous companies from the ground up and was fearless in the executive world. What set him apart from many other successful businessmen was his focus on building a legacy, which he proudly passed on to his sons, Brad and Frank. His motivation was always rooted in the betterment and enjoyment of his family.
Frank always loved the outdoors, particularly hunting, fishing, boating, and scuba diving. His love for scuba diving began in Cozumel, Mexico, and grew to include Orange Beach, AL, where he enjoyed a family home with relatives and friends. Frank loved cruising Lake Hartwell in Hartwell, GA, on his boat and was famous for towing his sons and friends on tubes at dangerous speeds. Lake Hartwell quickly became a gathering spot for family and friends, and that tradition continues today. He loved spending time at the family farm in Elberton, GA, working on projects and tending to the garden and fields. He cherished sharing these hobbies and activities with his family and passed on all his knowledge and love about them.
He was a passionate University of Georgia football fan who enjoyed watching games with his family. He cherished traveling with his wife and close friends, exploring new places and savoring delicious meals and wine together. He had a passion for coaching, guiding his sons in football from a young age and positively impacting many other kids’ lives through his coaching. Even today, many of the kids he coached over the years still call him “Coach Frank.”
Frank had a big, generous, and kind heart. Words can hardly capture his generosity; he always supported the underdog and did everything he could to help those around him. He found great joy in seeing his family and friends enjoying time together and having fun.
In his own words during a family prayer, he said, “Lord, I want to thank you for your son first of all, and for my family and friends. Family and friends are more important than anything… in Jesus’ name… Amen.”
