Beloved father, companion and friend entered into rest on December 8, 2025.

Born on January 19, 1972 to William Franklin Decker and Catherine Mary (Slaughter) Decker in Newburgh, NY, he lived most of his life in New Windsor NY.

He learned automotive and desil mechanics in his fathers shop; Bill Decker Service. His love of art in all forms came from his mother. He was a poet, musician and enjoyed creating with his hands. His musical talents included violin, guitar, piano and drums, much was self taught. He enjoyed wood working and drawing.

Intelligent and focused he took over his fathers business and created BDS Hydraulics which he enjoyed for it gave him the time and freedom to spend with his son.

Frank was a loving, understanding and nuturing father. He enjoyed helping his his son as he grew. Scouts, video games, cartoons, anime and comics, he shared all his loves with his only son.

When Gregory was moved to Spartenburgh, SC he decided it was time to move as well.

He settled in Fort Mill, SC, and eventually began working for Fort Mill Hyundai as a part of their parts department team. He then set about building a life with his long time companion Tammy. They built a life, laughed often, mostly at each other, and enjoyed the serenity that comes from loving your best friend.

The proudest moment of his life came when his brilliant son graduated high school with honors and started college at Lander University.

He was looking forward to spending the holidays with those he loved when he was suddenly taken from us. He would not want us to be sad at this time of year. He would want us all to remember him in our own way this holiday, and smile.

Those who will miss his presence and remember him with love:
