MELO, Francisco Rodrigues da Ponte - It is with great sadness that the family of Francisco Melo announces his sudden passing on April 19, 2021, at the age of 53.
Also known by the names of Frank or Chico, he was loved by many who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Frank leaves behind his loving wife Teresa of 31 years.
Loving father to Jessica, Melissa, Sophia and Matthew.
Dear son of José and Maria Melo, and brother to Lucia (Eurico).
He will be missed by his brothers and sisters-in-law, along with his nieces and nephews, and many friends.
Frank was born in the town of Claremont, France on November 3, 1967. His parents brought him to Canada at the age of 7. In 1989 he married his wife, Teresa.Together they lived out their dreams of travelling and jumped at every opportunity they could for a new adventure.
Frank was an extremely hard-working man. He always gave back to his community and was an active member in his church Parish of St. Peters for many years, and was on various Boards for affordable housing and charitable organizations. He had such a big heart that he would give the shirt off his back to help someone in need.
He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. This is not goodbye forever but just goodbye for now.
Due to COVID-19 visitation is by invitation/booking only and the ceremony is closed to the public.
