Frank William Rebish, Jr.
1973 - 2011

Frank William Rebish Jr., known to us as "Tyke," was taken from us too soon in an automobile accident on Feb. 17.
Our loving father, son, uncle, brother, cousin, nephew and grandson will remain in our hearts always.
Tyke was named by his older sisters when he came home from the hospital at 5 pounds 2 ounces, just a "little tyke", on April 13, 1973.
He grew up in Dillon hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, motorcycling, and enjoying trips to the family cabin in Buffalo, Wyo.
Tyke was a very skilled and talented tradesman. He spent the past 20 years as a lineman and supervisor on high voltage power line projects throughout the Western United States, making friends everywhere he went with his warm smile and quick wit.
It's not surprising that one of the world's greatest sons would become such a wonderful dad; a man who taught, encouraged, gave of his time, and remembered what being a kid was all about.
Tyke is survived by his daughter, Kaidyn Nicole, who was his whole world; his mother, Carol Ann Rebish; brother, Jimmi Tyler Rebish; sisters, Francie Oliver and Bonnie Rebish; grandfather, Glenn Fickes; and many special aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Frank William Rebish; grandparents, Kay and Frank D. Rebish; and grandmother, Dorothy Fickes.
Services are pending.
