January 30, 1955 ~ July 15, 2019

Wesley “Frank” Slaughter Jr. transitioned to his heavenly home on July 15th, 2019 while surrounded by his loving family. He was born on January 30th, 1955 and was the only son to Wesley Frank Slaughter and Edith Anne Snow.

Frank was lovingly raised on the Diamond S Ranch in Lee’s Summit Missouri with his beautiful and charismatic sister’s Patricia Slaughter-Prewitt and Mary Slaughter-Longacre. Frank graduated from Lee’s Summit High School in 1973.

Frank loved his life on the ranch with his family, but he also loved music and to travel as well. His free spirit would take him on several journeys as a young man. He would travel the west coast and many other places with his guitar in hand and singing in his heart.

After a short time, Frank came home, settled down on the ranch where he began his family. As his family grew his faith in God grew as well, He was on fire for the Lord. Frank made it his mission in life to share the gospel, even on his lunch break at the Sweet Lumber Company. Frank’s love for Lord and music would draw him into service as a praise and worship leader. His passion for God, would eventually move him to collaborate with likeminded men and start the Church we know and love, Open Range Fellowship in Lone Jack Mo.

Frank was also an accomplished writer and poet. He continued to write up until his final days. He completed a bible study that is in the process of being published and co-wrote a book with one of his daughters.

Frank had many qualities, but one of his greatest qualities was the love he carried for his wife Brenda. His love for his wife was like no other love, they had many wonderful years together. Frank and Brenda J Slaughter were married on June 1, 1991. They lovingly parented nine wonderful children, they were blessed with 30 grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

Frank was preceded in death by his father, Wesley Frank Slaughter, Sr. on January 6, 2014; his mother, Edith Ann (Snow) Slaughter on January 7, 2018, and his sister, Mary Longacre on January 28, 2017.
