Frank Amato Obituary

Frank John Amato

September 10, 1953 – June 13, 2025

Frank Amato, a proud U.S. Navy veteran, beloved husband, devoted father,cherished grandfather and brother passed away peacefully on June 13, 2025, at the age of 71.

Born on September 10, 1953, Frank lived a life defined by love, service, and a relentless curiosity about the world around him. He served his country honorably in the United States Navy and carried that same sense of duty, discipline, and quiet strength into every aspect of his life.

Frank was happiest outdoors—kayaking, exploring, or working on home projects. He had a passion for invention and was always creating something new, whether it was a clever home improvement, a mechanical fix, or a design brought to life with his treasured 3D printer. His hands were always busy, and his mind was always turning.

He is survived by his loving wife, Dolores, his two daughters, Cheryl and Lisa, and five adoring grandchildren who were the light of his life. He also leaves behind his two brothers, Joseph and Ernie, who shared in his humor and history.

Frank’s legacy is one of love and creativity. He will be remembered for his resourcefulness, his calming presence, and the deep care he had for his family.
