COPPERAS COVE, Texas (KWTX) Copperas Cove Mayor Frank Seffrood died unexpectedly Friday morning at his home following a brief illness, just more than two weeks after winning a second term in a runoff election on Dec. 11.
The Wisconsin native was a U.S. Army veteran who retired in 1979 after 23 years of service.
Lt. Gen. Paul E. Funk II, III Corps and Fort Hood commander, issued a statement Friday expressing condolences to Seffrood’s family.
“Frank served our nation for 23 years in the Army and was always a good friend to Fort Hood with a passion for helping our soldiers and their families. He will be missed,” he said
Seffrood worked for Central Texas College from 1980 to 1986 and the U.S. Postal Service from 1986 to 2010.
He served on the Copperas Cove City Council for 6 ½ years before he was elected mayor in 2015.
He’s survived by his wife of 55 years, Rita, three children and three grandchildren.
