Frank Joseph Montegue III, son of Frank Montegue Jr. and Eleanor Tropez was born on March 19, 1955 in New Orleans, Louisiana. He transitioned to his eternal heavenly home on Tuesday, July 20, 2021 in Spring, Texas after a fourteen month battle with brain cancer. Frank was sixty-six years old.
In the early seventies, Frank graduated from St. Augustine High School in New Orleans, LA. He went on to earn his Bachelor's degree in Journalism from Loyola University's New Orleans Campus in the same decade. During that time Frank had the pleasure of meeting and dating Linda Rainey. The two married in 1979 and were together for 42 years. Within that period, he began his career at Sears and Roebuck's in the Automotive Department. He and Linda relocated to Houston, Texas two years later where he completed the Master's Occupational Therapy program through Texas Women's University. He was subsequently employed as an Occupational Therapist at LBJ Hospital, WorkWell Medical Center, Health South Hospital & Medical Center, Post Acute Out Patient/In Patient Rehab Center, and several other Home Healthcare Agencies.
With regard to his favorite things, Frank loved playing tennis, sewing, building and repairing (anything), planning events for co-workers and his St. Monica's Church family, including , the Tree of Life, Sing Out and the annual Bazaar! Additionally, Frank enjoyed transporting the elderly to/from Sunday morning Mass--even if it meant leaving home a few hours earlier and / or returning later than expected. He was a kind, creative and compassionate man with a remarkable quick wit. He generously gave to others in an effort to meet their needs, never expecting anything in return. As life would have it, Frank would rather teach men how to fish versus them being forever dependent on others.
Frank was survived by his loving and devoted wife, Linda; his older sister, Sherrell Corse, and niece Christina Oakes - along with her husband and children (Nate, Xander & Desi) of Grass Valley, CA. He also leaves behind his father -in -law, Joseph P. Rainey (New Orleans, LA); god-children, Taylor Hicks, Jourdan Hicks and Kennedie Hicks, along with a host of other family members and friends.
