A popular Uber driver in Bartlesville has passed away at the age of 46.

Kevin Frenchman was born Oct. 8th, 1974, in Little Rock, Arkansas, to Thomas Evan and Donna Dea Frenchman. He grew up with his two brothers Thomas and David. In 1991, Frenchman’s family moved to the Bartlesville area where he graduated from Dewey High School in 1994. Shortly after he attended Tri County Technology Center and received a certificate from their electrical engineering program before attending Rogers State University for a short while.

Frenchman was known for being a selfless people person with a genuine heart. He would always go out of his way to help anyone he could, whether it was giving you the last dollar in his wallet or the shirt off his back. He was a proud member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians and could be found in attendance at many of its powwows.

Frenchman loved cars and most recently, was a popular Uber driver who was well-known for always being polite and helpful. Those that loved getting a ride from Frenchman have created a GoFundMe to create a memorial for Frenchman. Click here if you wish to make a donation.

Frenchman was a huge fan of the Dukes of Hazard and one of his most prized possessions was his General Lee (a ’69 Dodge Charger) that could be found in his garage. He would always tell his family and friends that he would someday finish assembling it but never could. He found joy in finding specific parts for his and many of his friends’ projects.

Frenchman is survived by his parents; two brothers, David Edward Frenchman of Bartlesville, and Thomas Evan Frenchman of Albuquerque, NM; loving grandmother Dorothy Temple in Arkansas; niece Shelby Frenchman; two nephews David and Tommy Frenchman; as well as his special friends and secondary family of the Coxes, Tanners, and Tobars; as well as many other friends and family.

Funeral services will be held 2:00 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 28th, at the Davis Family Funeral Home & Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel. Services are under the direction of Carter Davis and the Davis Family Funeral Home & Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel. Online condolences and remembrances may be shared at DavisFamilyFuneralHome.com.
