An Instagram post written by Kozik’s wife, Sharon, reads, “We are devastated to inform you that Frank Kozik passed away unexpectedly this past Saturday.”
“Frank was a man larger than himself, an icon in each of the genres he worked in,” the post reads. “He dramatically changed every industry he was a part of. He was a creative force of nature. We are so beyond lucky and honored to have been part of his journey, and he will be missed beyond what words could ever express.”
