Frank Gnup died in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on September 27, 1976.
The British Columbian provincial AAA football championships was named in his honour.
The Shrine Bowl Provincial Championships gave way to the American style of ranking schools. Schools are divided into three classes by total enrollment in grades 9-11 only: A (0-337 students), AA (340-618 students), and AAA (619 students and up). The championships then became known as Frank Gnup AAA Provincial Championships and the Gary Scott AA Provincial Championships.
The championships are a part of the Subway Bowl held at BC Place Stadium, in the province of British Columbia, and televised across Canada.
