Frank was born October 3, 1968 in Wausau to LeRoy and Terra Lee (Sigl) Guralski. He along with his five brothers were raised in rural Edgar and was a 1986 graduate of the high school there. Frank was united in marriage to the former Miss Angela “Angie” Borchardt on June 1, 1991at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Edgar.

Frank found his greatest joy in life’s simple, meaningful moments. He had a deep love for farming—especially tractors and tending to the ginseng—and took great pride in working the land. Above all, he cherished time spent with his beloved wife, his son, and his brothers. Becoming a grandfather was one of his greatest blessings, and he treasured every moment watching his grandson grow, as well as time shared with his many great nieces and nephews. Whether farming, snowmobiling, or simply enjoying the outdoors, Frank embraced life with quiet strength and a deep appreciation for family, leaving behind memories that will be held close forever.

Frank is survived by his wife of 35 years, Angela; his son Mitchell (Shelby) Guralski; one grandson Grant Guralski; mother Terra Lee Guralski; four brothers: Matthew (Angela) Guralski, Michael (Katy) Guralski of, James (Kim) Guralski of, and Bernard (Rachel) Guralski. His is also survived by his mother-in-law Patricia Emon and siblings-in-law Ricky (Pam) Borchardt and Amy (Cal) Reno. Frank is further survived by several nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his father LeRoy, his brother Luke, and nephew Gage Anderson.

The family wishes to sent a special thank you to Compassus Hospice and Brittany at Marshfield Clinic Physical Therapy for their loving care during Frank’s illness.
