Frank Xavier Simoes Jr.

Frank built a life defined by steady work, quiet resilience, and a deep devotion to those he loved. He worked alongside his family in the dairy business before beginning a long and faithful career with Costco, where he dedicated 30 years of service—years marked by diligence, reliability, and a selfless willingness to do what needed to be done.

For 30 years, Frank was married to Ana, and together they shared a life anchored in commitment and care. He was a proud father to his son, Xavier, and held close the bonds of family that mattered most to him.

Frank’s adventurous spirit showed in the roads he traveled and the passions he pursued. A classic car buff and Harley rider, he was an avid car guy who never stopped until he found his dream car. Known for being able to fix anything, he took particular pride in his Mopar cars—especially his 69 Charger—and he enjoyed attending Monterey Car Week. He also found pleasure in simple, familiar favorites: Clint Eastwood movies, trips to Disneyland, an occasional Jack & Coke, homemade wine, a strong cup of coffee, spicy Thai food, and sushi. Antique shopping was another pastime he enjoyed, always with an eye for something worth keeping.

Frank is survived by his wife Ana; his son Xavier; his mother Alvina; and his sisters Tillie & Connie. He was preceded in passing by his father, Frank.
