Frank Steven Baumann, Jr., a man defined by his steadfast faith and unwavering devotion to his family passed away at his home in Kingsville, Texas, on May 2, 2026, at the age of 76.

Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, on February 20, 1950, to Evelyn (Pena) and Frank Steven Baumann, Sr., Frank grew up with the values of hard work and dedication that would guide him for seven decades. A man of discipline and integrity from a young age, Frank earned the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout, a milestone that set the stage for a lifetime of leadership and service to his community. After graduating from King High in Corpus, he attended Southwestern University in Georgetown, becoming a Kappa Sigma and working towards his bachelor's degree. He completed his degree at Texas A&I University, with a BA in Marketing and continued as an active member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

Following graduation, Frank dedicated 37 years of his life to serving his community as a State Farm Agent. Guided by a deep commitment to serving others, Frank was more than an agent to many; he was a reliable friend who showed up for others in their times of greatest need or illness, never asking for recognition but always providing a steady presence.

Frank’s greatest achievement was the nearly 54-year marriage he shared with the love of his life, Shari (Raymond) Baumann, his “turtledove.” Together, they built a family rooted in the Christian faith attending the First Baptist Church of Kingsville and the Ricardo Baptist Church. Through the years at FBC, Frank has been a Deacon, Sunday School Teacher, member of the Men’s Group, and he served on various committees, including the Pastor Search Committee, twice.

Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Evelyn (Pena) and Frank Steven Baumann, Sr., and in-laws, Dean and Lillie Raymond.

Frank’s legacy is left to those who cherish his memory: his beloved wife of nearly 54 years, Shari (Raymond) Baumann; his children, Trey Baumann, Brandon (Michelle) Baumann, and Piper (Long) Duong; and his adored grandchildren, Dean and Grant Baumann, and Desi and Case Duong. He also leaves behind his sister, Linda (Greg) Lawson, sisters-in-law, Tootie Vickers and Kali Long, along with nieces, a nephew, and many dear friends. He leaves behind a legacy of "showing up" that will continue to inspire all who knew him.

An avid outdoorsman, Frank found his "outdoor cathedral" in the woods while hunting or on the water fishing. He was equally at home on the golf course, enjoying the camaraderie of friends and the quiet challenge of the game. When the family was gathered, he took great pride in preparing meals - his specialty was barbeque. Many stories were told while the fire was tended to and his joy-filled laugh made sure to remind everyone to enjoy these moments.

The family will receive guests on May 16, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the First Baptist Church of Kingsville. A funeral service celebrating Frank’s life and legacy will begin immediately following at 11:00 AM with Pastor Bubba Stahl officiating.

In honor of Frank’s spirit of giving and his service to others, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to:

• The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Center of Corpus Christi

• A charitable organization of your choice.
