Frank Edwin Margos

Frank Edwin Margos, age 74, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on July 25, 2026.

He was born March 10, 1952 in Salida, Colorado, the son of the late Nick Margos and wife, Ida Margos.

Frank is preceded in death by his brother Mike Margos.

Frank spent his formative years in Grand Junction, Colorado from elementary school through high school, graduating from Grand Junction High School, Class of 1970. He went on to graduate from Western State Colorado University, Gunnison, CO with a degree in Political Science. He was a veteran of the United States Navy, having served aboard the USS Compass Island.

Frank was currently employed by Independence Title Insurance Company, Austin, Texas, as a Title Examiner, his career of choice for 45 plus years.

He enjoyed catching up on old movies (he could quote every line and then some), the History channel, golfing with his friends and/or his sister, hiking with his buddies.
