Kaleb Stewart 'Scoop' Frame, 23

On the evening of July 29, 2021, Kaleb passed away after a tragic ATV accident. Kaleb was 23 years old.

Kaleb Frame was born in Whitefish in Flathead County on Feb. 12, 1998. He was the second born to James and Rox Ann Frame.

At a very young age, Kaleb showed a passion for soccer, hunting, fishing and anything to do with the outdoors. Kaleb was a very accomplished young adult. After graduating from Flathead High School in 2016, he went to work for Granite Manpower as a turbine mechanic. He worked closely with his father, whom he looked up to most. The job required a lot of traveling; in fact, he just recently returned from England. He was a certified crane operator through National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO), which was quite the accomplishment; few could pass the test. His work ethic was comparable to none, which resulted in him buying his first house at 18. He had many toys and his generosity with his friends went unmatched.

When Kaleb wasn’t traveling, he spent his time in the mountains with family, friends and his companion, Axel. Kaleb had a sense of adventure; he was selfless, extremely sensitive and so kind hearted. Kaleb died the same way he lived his life, wild and free.

Kaleb was preceded in death by his beloved Grandpa Stewart Kienow, and his grandparents, Roy and Hilda Frame.

Kaleb is survived by his parents James and Rox Ann Fram, his sister McCaela Sharkey (Frame), his brother-in-law John Sharkey, his nephew Thomas Sharkey, goddaughter and niece Teagen Sharkey and niece Taeler Sharkey, and his grandparents Larry and Carol Corson. He is also leaving behind his beloved dog Axel, his godparents Chuck and Barbara Quall, and his very best friends Maddie, Dakota and Blake.

“You never said I’m leaving, you never said goodbye. You were gone before I knew it, and only God knew why. A million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death, I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, that no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. For part of me went with you, the day God took you home.“

A celebration of life will be held at the Vista Linda Pavilion, 240 Boon Road, Somers, at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 8. Please visit www.stevensonwilke.com to offer a condolence to the family or to share a memory of Kaleb.
