Albert Franklin (Frank) McFadden, Sr. (12/20/27 – 12/23/19), “Captain Mac” passed away at the Brennity Assisted Living Home in Daphne, Alabama, Monday December 23, 2019. A native of Jackson Alabama and long-time resident of Mobile, he resided in Daphne since 2004. He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Catherine Heim McFadden, his father Angus F. McFadden and mother Hazel M. Pletcher and is survived by his son, Albert Franklin McFadden, Jr. (Hope), daughter Melissa M. Palmer (Ron), grandchildren; Anna Campbell (Adam), Albert Franklin McFadden, III, Jessica Palmer, Christi Palmer, great-grandson Benjamin Campbell, and other relatives.

Captain Mac retired from Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co. with over 30 years of service as a vessel captain and maintenance supervisor. A Navy veteran of WWII, he loved anything nautical and floral. He was known as a man with a work ethic second to none in his career and in retirement where he literally ran out of room to plant more fruit trees, ornamentals and other shrubs in his yard earning him “Yard of the Month” many times at his home in Historic Malbis. The family is very grateful for the staff at the Brennity and all of the caregivers who assisted him.

Visitation will be from Mobile Memorial Gardens Funeral Home Saturday December 28, 2019 from 10:30 a.m. until the service at Noon.
