deal with a girlfriend’s pregnancy and his eventual expulsion from school for behavioral problems.
After the shooting death of a friend, Franklin returned to the church, where he began to direct the choir once again. He also co-founded gospel groups, gained notoriety, all of which led to him being signed and the rest is history.
Now, Franklin is a dedicated father, husband, and worshiper whom many call a mentor. Our continued prayers go out to Kirk and the entire family.
