He attended rural school and worked on the family farm. Frank married Barbara Materi on October 22, 1943. Following their marriage they continued farming on the family farm until he retired. Frank's youth was filled with lots of hard work and an abundance of fun and a dash of folly. He enjoyed farming, bowling, playing cards, horseback riding, and making mastub (conversations in German) with friends and family. In his later retired years, he took great pride in caring for his barn cats and dog, and enjoying his western movies. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Beaver Valley Horse Club. Frank is survived by 5 daughters, 4 sons-in-law, 2 sons and 1 daughter-in-law: Darlene (Mike) Eberle of Spokane WA, Donna (Harold) Kocher of Bismarck ND, Kara (friend Gary) Gabriel of Spokane WA, Beverly (Dirk) Kenfield of Missoula MT, Francis (Carol) Gabriel of Bismarck, ND and family farm in Hague ND, Janice (John) Johnson of Valley City ND, Darin (fianc Darcie) Gabriel of Bismarck ND and family farm in Hague, ND. Frank is also survived by 13 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren, 2 sisters and 1 brother-in-law, Katie Klein and Helen (Wilfred) Eberle of Bismarck ND, four sisters in law; Ellen Gabriel of Arizona, Mary Martin, Mercedes Goetz of Linton ND, Helen Batchelor of Eugene OR and many special nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by his parents, his wife Barbara (August 26, 1990), 2 brothers Joe Gabriel(1985) and Ambrose Gabriel (1988); 2 sisters Ann Mitzel (2001), Mary Weigel (2001), and Grandson Michael Gabriel (infancy). The family would like to extend their thanks to the staff of Strasburg Care Center for the compassionate and excellent care they provided to their father since his disabling stroke in 2006, during his final phase of his earthly journey. May he find rest and peace in the arms of his beloved wife and those of a loving God. Happy trails to you until we meet again.
