Francis (Frank) Godfrey Prell, 82, passed away in Sarasota FL on Father’s Day June 18, 2023. He was one of 5 kids born to Mildred & Kremer (Red) Prell of Louisville KY. Kicked out of many schools growing up he ended up at Sacred Heart Academy an all girls school, not so dumb after all. Eventually he joined the Army where he flourished and met Marta, the beautiful mother of his 2 daughters Lore & Debi. A self made businessman he developed real estate in KY & FL for over 50yrs. Being an avid hot air balloonist for over 40yrs it wouldn’t be unusual to find him on the Alps of Switzerland, the outback of Australia or the beach of Copacabana Brazil with one of his balloons. Two more beautiful women Leigh & Irina and his step daughter Anastasia would join him in the joy of ballooning and Life. Survivors of this remarkable man are many family members including three grandchildren and four great grandchildren, business partners and friends from all around the world. A Celebration of Life will be held on Captiva Island FL and Louisville KY where we will tell stories and be reminded how are lives were touched by him. Frank would love for any gifts of memorial go to his friends at the University of Louisville Office of Gift Planning.
