elevated hhKSJ Obituary
elevated hhKSJ 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.
elevated hhKSJ Frank 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.
elevated hhKSJ Outside of work, Frank found great joy in spending time with family and friends. His greatest pride was his two children, Grace and Matthew, whom he loved beyond measure. He cherished every opportunity to be with them and created countless memories that they will carry with them always.
elevated hhKSJ 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.
elevated hhKSJ 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.
elevated hhKSJ Frank is lovingly remembered by his children, Grace and Matthew; his mother, Ada; his sister, Mimma; his niece, Sofia; and his former spouse and life long friend, Rose. He was predeceased by his father, Alberto, whom he now joins in eternal rest.
elevated hhKSJ 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.
elevated hhKSJ 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.
Our condolences from his neighbors on William Smart Road. He will be missed by everyone.

Mimma, our sincerest condolences to you and your entire family. Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss. We pray that God gives you all strength to get through this difficult time.
Love Always, Kathy Posa & Lou Falbo
Hard to grasp that I am writing this.
Knowing you was a true blessing. The love and kindness you showed to everyone who knew you were sincere and genuine. You touched so many lives, and you will be deeply missed. Thanks for the conversations, the laughs and for just being you.
My prayers are with your children, who were your world and with your entire family as they navigate this tremendous loss. May God surround them with His love, strength and comfort, in the days ahead.
May the angels guide you to heaven, and may you rest in eternal peace.
You will remembered and missed, Frank, forever and always. ♥️
My deepest condolences to the family
Dear Mimma and Family. My heart is broken 💔 for you all. I’m so so sorry for your loss. . Frank was a special gem 💎 with a heart of gold. I’m absolutely speechless. I wish you and your loved ones a long life. Sending lots of hugs and strength. 🙏🏻🙏🏻. Gone too soon 🥲. R.I.P. Frank
There are no words that can truly ease the pain of losing someone so young and so suddenly. A life taken far too soon leaves an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew and loved them.
My deepest and most heartfelt condolences go out to Mimma. Franks children, mother and entire family during this incredibly difficult time.
May you find strength in one another, comfort in the love that surrounds you, and peace in the cherished memories that will live on forever. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Some goodbyes are simply too painful, and this is one of them.
Frank, you were taken from this world far too soon. It is so difficult to understand why someone with such a kind soul, a heart of gold, and the spirit of a true gentleman had to leave us so early. You were truly one of a kind, and your presence made this world a better place.
You leave behind not only beautiful memories, but a legacy of kindness, love, and respect that will never be forgotten. My heart breaks most for your children, who have lost an incredible father, and for your family and friends, who now have to face life without you by their side.
Please watch over your children, your family, and all those who loved you. Be their guardian angel and their guiding light through the darkest days ahead. Give them strength when they feel weak, comfort when the pain feels unbearable, and signs that you are always near.
Though your time here was far too short, the impact you made will last forever. You will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished.
Rest peacefully, Frank. Until we meet again, may you shine brightly from Heaven and continue to watch over those who love you. You will never be forgotten , Frank ! 😢💔🙏🕊️😢💔🙏🕊️😢💔🙏
I am still at a loss and shock I cannot believe you are no longer here. Sending love and strength to the entire family. My deepest condolences to all of you. Frank may you rest in eternal peace

My heart is with you during this unimaginable loss of your brother. You were the absolute best sister any brother could ever ask for. Thank you for loving Frank so deeply and for standing beside Matthew, Grace, and me through this difficult time. We will honour his memory together, always.
Frank,
Thank you for being such a pivotal special part of my life for over 30 years. Thank you for being the father of our two beautiful children. Although life took us on different paths, love never dies as your spirit with us will never die. I am grateful for the love, friendship, respect, and love we continued to share despite everything.
Life will never be the same without you. I promise to care for our precious Matthew and Grace with all my strength, courage, and unconditional love. I promise they will always know how deeply their dad loved them. I will teach them to pray to you, to keep your memory alive, and to remember you with laughter, smiles, and love.
I will take over your role as the “Tickle Monster,” and I’ll even learn to make a steak for Matthew that comes as close as possible to yours.
Rest peacefully, Frank. You will never be forgotten. Your love and your legacy will live on forever through Matthew and Grace.
Sofia,

Frank. Franco. My big brother. My neighbor. My childhood friend. The guy I idolized. As a kid. Until I became an adult. The memories of long nights on Murray Road. That led to birthdays. To hanging out. To tennis. To soccer. To st Norbert’s. To Chaminade. To dating. To getting married. To celebrating milestones. Family. Just too much to list. I am angry. I am sad. I am in shock. Now what? I will miss you immensely. I knew you were there anytime I needed you. Now I’ve lost that support. That person I knew I could reach out too. I took you for granted.
My deepest condolences to your family – he will never be forgotten. As the song says, “I don’t know why God takes the good ones first, and man I have tried to be strong and carry on, but darn this hurts. You can hear him say, Don’t cry for me, I am alright. I am better than you know. This life can be a short ride, don’t waste it on sorrow. You Just hold onto those moments and the memories we shared. We’re both headed for the same place. I just beat you there. Sending love and comfort.
We’re deeply saddened by hearing of the loss of Frank. Please know that you’re all in our prayers and we’re thinking of you. Because we cannot be there to mourn with you, we are offering a Mass for Frank on his birthday at our church in Torrington, Connecticut. We love you and we miss you.

We are heartbroken to hear about Frank’s passing. He wasn’t just a customer to us. He was truly part of our Forty 40 family.
We feel so grateful to have known him over the years. Frank loved good food, and we always appreciated his honest feedback and the ideas he’d share with us. You could tell he genuinely wanted to see us succeed, and those conversations meant more than he probably ever knew.
We’ll miss seeing his familiar face, hearing his stories, and having him around. He was one of the good ones, and his loss will be felt by so many.
Our hearts are with Frank’s family and everyone who loved him. Thank you, Frank, for your friendship and for being such a special part of our Forty 40 family. You will be missed so very much.
Love,
Sabina & Joe

Sappi che tu e la tua famiglia siete nei miei pensieri e nelle mie preghiere.
