Frank Elsworth Halvorson

Frank Ellsworth Halvorson, 70, passed away unexpectedly on May 14, 2026.

Born on February 5, 1956, in Stockton, California, Frank graduated from St. Mary’s High School

and went on to attend the University of the Pacific, where he played baseball and met the love

of his life, Lori. In 1983, Frank moved to Jackson, California, where he built a beautiful life centered around family, friendship, and community.

Frank was preceded in death by his father, William “Skip” Halvorson, and his sister, Linda Haley.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 46 years, Lori Halvorson; his children Amanda (Jake),

Lauren (Cypriana), Elle, and Ryan (Casandra); and his cherished grandchildren Paityn, Joanna,

Ava, and Charlotte. He is also survived by his brothers Greg (Debbie), Ronnie (Gloria), David

(Patty), Jimmy (Denyse), and John Haley, along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended

family members, and dear friends.

Frank contributed as much to his family as he did to his beloved community. He was known for

his generous spirit, loyalty, and love for the people around him. Whether cheering on the San

Francisco 49ers, spending time at Silver Lake Shanty Town, or simply being surrounded by

family and friends, Frank found joy in life’s simple and meaningful moments.

Above all else, Frank loved his family deeply. His presence, humor, strength, and unwavering

support will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved him.

A celebration of Frank’s life will be held on May 23, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. at the Amador County

Fairgrounds, Mercantile Building, in Plymouth, California.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Future Hayfarmers of Amador

County through the Amador Community Foundation website to support the Junior Livestock

Auction at the fair, a cause Frank was deeply passionate about
