BERARDONE, Franco Berardone
August 23, 1974 - July 9, 2026
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Frank Berardone., who passed away on July 9, 2026, at the age of 51. Frank was born on August 23, 1974, and lived a life defined by love for his family, unwavering generosity, and a remarkable ability to solve just about any problem that came his way.
Franco Berardone dedicated his career to Information Technology, where his intelligence, logical mind, and problem-solving abilities made him invaluable. To those who knew him, he was the person you called when you needed an answer. Whether it was tackling a home renovation, or offering practical advice, Frank always seemed to know exactly what to do. His direct manner was balanced by a deeply caring heart, and those closest to him knew that beneath his straightforward exterior was someone who would do anything for the people he loved.
Outside of work, Frank found great joy in spending time with family and friends. His greatest pride was his two children, Matthew and Grace, whom he loved beyond measure. He cherished every opportunity to be with them and created countless memories that they will carry with them always.
Frank also had a passion for cooking and loved gathering with friends and loved ones. He was never one to shy away from a project, spending many years transforming homes through renovations, building fences, finishing basements, and taking on just about any challenge with determination and skill. There was very little he couldn’t build, repair, or figure out.
Above all else, Frank was a protector. He looked after his family and friends without hesitation, always willing to lend a helping hand, offer guidance, or simply be there when someone needed him. His generosity, intelligence, loyalty, and quiet acts of kindness have left a lasting mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Frank is lovingly remembered by his children, Matthew and Grace; his mother, Ada; his sister, Mimma; his niece, Sofia; and his former wife, Rose. He was predeceased by his father, Alberto, whom he now joins in eternal rest.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at Queen of Heaven, on Saturday July, 18th from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Sunday July, 19th from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. A Funeral Mass will be held on Monday July, 20th at 12:00 p.m. at Queen of Heaven.
Though our hearts are broken by his passing, we find comfort in the countless memories he leaves behind and in the legacy of love, strength, and wisdom he shared so freely. Frank will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
