Frank and Debbie Struska were the kind of people who made everyone around them feel like family.

They were deeply rooted in their community—known for their kindness, generosity, and the quiet, steady way they showed up for others. They loved big, gave freely, and left a lasting impression on everyone lucky enough to know them. Their community didn’t just know them—they loved them.

At the center of their world was their family.

Their greatest pride and joy was their only son, Benjamin, and their beloved grandsons, Colton and Cody. They were a tight-knit family, bound by love, loyalty, and years of shared memories. Frank and Debbie supported Benjamin wholeheartedly, especially throughout his football journey. Frank even coached football in the Kern River Valley for over a decade—continuing to pour into young athletes and his community even after becoming a paraplegic. His strength and dedication were nothing short of inspiring.

And through it all, Debbie was right by his side.

For nearly 40 years, Frank and Debbie built a life together rooted in unwavering love and partnership. They were inseparable—best friends who stood by each other through everything, never leaving one another’s side… all the way until the very end.

On the afternoon of March 28th, just a few miles from their home, Frank and Debbie tragically lost their lives in a car accident.

Their loss has left an unimaginable void—not only for their family, but for the entire community that loved them so deeply.

As their family navigates this heartbreaking time, we are asking for support to help ease the unexpected financial burdens that come with such a sudden loss. Donations will go toward travel costs for loved ones, cleaning and preparing their home, moving expenses, and final resting costs.

This support will allow Benjamin and his family the space to grieve without the added weight of financial stress during such a devastating time.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping the Struska family in your thoughts and prayers.

Frank and Debbie’s legacy of love, strength, and devotion will continue to live on through their son, their grandsons, and the countless lives they touched.
