Frank Clifford Schoen

Army Lt. Colonel (retired) Frank Schoen passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 6, 2021. He was 89 years old. 

Lt. Colonel Schoen was a highly decorated veteran who served his country for over 25 years as a military finance officer.

His tours of duty included Vietnam, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey. Frank was a true patriot who loved God, his country, and family.

Frank was a long time resident of La Jolla, CA, and a member of the La Jolla Presbyterian Church. He was also active in the Masons and Shriners, as well as numerous other service organizations.

Frank was a devoted husband, father and friend to many. He is survived by his wife and love of his life for the past 45 years, Theresa, his daughter Mickey (Harmik Nazarian) and by Randy Kelly and Teresa Lesher (Todd Lesher) who he loved like children.  He was preceded in death by his parents William and Cecil Schoen, and his brother William.

Frank’s life exemplified the Army’s values of honor, respect, loyalty, selfless service, integrity and courage. He will be dearly missed by all those whose lives he touched.
