Clarence Franklin Albright
In Loving Memory
Clarence Franklin “Frank” Albright, born July 23, 1973, in Wichita, Kansas, passed away leaving behind a life full of adventure, laughter, and love. He was the son of Robert and Mildred Albright and grew up with a deep appreciation for the outdoors–camping, fishing, and hiking were among his greatest joys.
Frank spent much of his professional life as an over-the-road (OTR) truck driver and trainer. He found great fulfillment in helping new drivers gain confidence behind the wheel, sharing not just skills but also stories and wisdom from the road. He enjoyed reading and always had a book with him. He had a passion for exploring new places, meeting people from all walks of life, and trying different foods across the country. To many, he was known as the “Rusty Knight”—a title he carried with pride.
Frank was well known for his bright Hawaiian shirts, mismatched socks, and an endless supply of dad jokes. His humor, warmth, and one-of-a-kind style left a lasting impression on everyone who met him.
He is survived by his loving mother, Millie Hatfield (Michael) of Oklahoma, and his stepmother, Jackie Albright of Cheyenne WY. He is also survived by his daughter, Faith Crain, and grandsons, Conrad and Silas Crain, all of Wichita KS—whom he cherished deeply.
He leaves behind a large and devoted family of siblings: Dion Albright (Gabrielle) of Evans, CO; Rich Albright of Lincoln NE; Patrick Tucker (Stephanie) of Rawlins, WY; David Hatfield (Valerie) of Denver, CO; Tim Hatfield (Tiffany) of Tulsa, OK; Amy Garcia (Robert) of Tulsa, OK; Vincent Hatfield (Sarah) of Mountain Home, AR; Kaycia Hatfield of Wellington, KS; and Kevin Hook of Wichita, KS.
Frank also had many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will miss his generous spirit, sharp wit, and storytelling. He will be remembered with love by all who knew him.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a GoFundMe campaign to help with his final expenses:

A celebration of life will be scheduled by the family at a later date.
As Frank would say, “Ta Ta for now”.
