Frank David Benchanan

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Frank David Benchanan, age 56, on May 21, 2026. Frank was the beloved son of Jacques and Janina Benchanan.

Frank was known for his infectious smile, magnetic personality, and remarkable ability to connect with everyone he met. He brought laughter, energy, and warmth into every room and had a gift for making people feel welcome, valued, and appreciated. His kindness, humor, and genuine love for others left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

A highly successful Business Development Director, Frank built meaningful relationships throughout his career and his life. His greatest strength was his ability to bring people together and create lasting connections.

Frank shared 14 wonderful years with his beloved wife, Gabriella, including 12 years of marriage. Together, they built a life filled with love, adventure, and countless cherished memories.

Outside of work, Frank loved golfing, beach walks, sunsets, pool days, and cheering on his favorite teams—the San Francisco 49ers, Giants, and Golden State Warriors. He lived life fully and found joy in the people and moments that mattered most.

Frank is survived by his loving wife, Gabriella Benchanan; his mother, Janina Benchanan; his brother, Gerard Benchanan; extended family and Sammy, the family dog. He also leaves behind many dear friends, colleagues, and loved ones who will miss him deeply.

Frank’s legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched through his generosity, friendship, laughter, and love.

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.

Frank’s smile, laughter, and love will remain in our hearts always.
