Francisco "Frank" Silva Obituary

In Loving Memory of Frank Silva

Frank Silva, age 90, passed away peacefully on June 5, 2026, at home surrounded by the love of his family.

 

Frank was a devoted son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend. He was known for his kind heart, gentle spirit, sense of humor, and deep love for his family. His strong faith in God guided his life and was the foundation of the love, devotion, strength, and character he showed to everyone around him. He leaves a legacy of faith, strength, and countless cherished memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

 

One of the greatest blessings of his life was his marriage to the love of his life, Donna Silva. Together they shared 60 years of marriage, building a beautiful family and a lifetime of memories. Their love story was one of unwavering devotion, and it brings comfort to know they are reunited at last. In a touching reminder of their enduring love, Frank passed the day before what would have been their 65th wedding anniversary.

 

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Donna Silva, and his children, Paul Silva and Raquel Silva.

 

He is survived by his children, Teresa (Ken) Trpezanovich and Frank Silva; his grandchildren Sarah (Rob), Anthony (Morgan), Christopher (Katie), Melanie (Justin), Christopher (Jessica), Caitlin (Nick), Grace (Kyle), Angela, Hannah, Haley, Logan, Alyssa, and Tim; and his great-grandchildren Eli, Ella, Emma, Chloe, Ridge, Lane, Evelyn, Maggie, Boone, Olive, Pierce, Joseph, Penny, Ryilee, Karsyn, and Clayton.

While our hearts are broken, we find peace in knowing that he has been welcomed into the arms of his Savior and reunited with those who have gone before him.

 

Frank’s greatest legacy was the family he loved so dearly. His memory will live on through the generations who were blessed to call him Papa.

 

A celebration of Frank’s life will be held on June 13, 2026, at Living Hope Church at 10AM. Family and friends are invited to join us as we celebrate his life.

 

Until we meet again papa- see you around like a donut! 

 

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” – Matthew 25:23
