FRAN LEE “D.J. FRANTIC†ERCK, age 31, a lifelong resident of Irving, Texas, died Saturday, February 2, 2008 in Dallas.
Born May 1, 1976 in Irving, Fran graduated from Dallas Sound Lab in Las Colinas and later returned there to teach others the art of turntablism. A disc jockey for over eight years, his career began with his love of music. As a well known D.J. in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Fran was always interested in helping his large following. If Fran wasn’t D.J’ing at a local club, he could be found at home perfecting his talent on his turntables.

Fran and I got married on June 3, 2007 and it was the best day of my life. We are so happy to finally be married. My sister Annette is my best friend and I love her so much. She is expecting a little girl and I am SO excited :) I cherish each and every one of my friends. I have two dogs named Laddie and Lexi and they are the cutest dogs. I love to travel the world and I love classical music.
