Professor Medford, a graduate of Union Theological Seminary and an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church, served the faculty and students at Regis University for over thirty-two years. He was the Chair of the Department of Liberal Arts and retired on November 7, 2017 – his eightieth birthday.
Franklin embodied cura personalis and was beloved across the University. He was an inspiring leader, an innovative scholar, and a caring teacher. He leaves behind many friends who were touched by his kindness and joie de vivre as well as a liberal arts curriculum marked by his commitment to invite students to explore the intricacies of the human condition through the prism of the best scholarship.
Franklin will be profoundly missed, but his legacy of academic excellence and kindness will live on through the lives of all who knew him. We are grateful for the gift of journeying alongside him in this life.
Franklin is survived by Anne Breckenridge, his partner in life; three children, Renay Hannon, Franklin Medford IV, Robin White; and four grandchildren, Sierra, Caligh, Tayler, and Tyler.
