Frankie Ferrell

Boone Jr.

Frankie Ferrell Boone Jr., lovingly known as “Ferrell,” of Gallatin, Tennessee, passed away on November 11, 2026. He was born on January 28, 1963, in Nashville, Tennessee.

Frankie was a man who lived life in his own way. He was very much his own person, knew what he liked, what he didn’t like, knew what he believed, and wasn't particularly interested in being told otherwise. There was never any guessing where you stood with him, as his opinions were always honestly and plainly given. His stubborn streak and strong opinions were simply part of what made him who he was, and those who knew him wouldn't have had it any other way. He was also a funny man who enjoyed cutting up and loved telling jokes, bringing laughter in his own unmistakable style.

He was a simple man at heart and felt most at home with the outdoors. He liked spending time outside, enjoyed fishing, and was an avid deer hunter. So strong was that connection to country life that, if he had it his way, he would have lived in a cabin in the woods. He even gave himself the nickname “Backwoods Boone,” a name that suited both his humor and his character. He also took pride in being distantly related to the American pioneer Daniel Boone. He loved hunting so much so that he helped his friend, Dale Selchow, with taxidermy at Trophy Ridge in Bethpage, TN.

Frankie Ferrell Boone Jr. is preceded in death by his mother Evelyn Jewell Boone and his son JT Boone. He is survived by his father Frankie F. Boone Sr., and his sons Josh Boone, Jonathon Boone, and Jacob (Erika) Boone. He is also survived by his grandchildren: McKinnley Boone, Olivia Boone, Maddox Kemp, Joshua Boone Jr., Braylin Rose, Ensleigh Farless, Jasper Boone, and Lilyth Boone. He also leaves behind mother of his children Danielle Parrish, as well as many other relatives and friends.

Family and friends will remember Frankie for his distinct personality, his straightforward nature, and the way he remained true to himself. His life reflected independence, humor, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors.
