It is with broken hearts and deepest gratitude for God’s eternal peace that the family of Frank Michael Fernandez announces his passing on Sunday, June 7, 2020 at the age of sixty-four years. Frank will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 27 years, Donna; his daughter, Marisa; and his son, Alexander; as well as so many very, dear friends. Frank retired last summer from Verizon after a lifelong career in telecommunications. It is ironic that his profession would be driven by “network” as Frank had an amazing talent for connecting with people and leaves behind a vast treasure of phenomenal friends. Frank was born August 4, 1955 in Newark, New Jersey to Frank & Carmella Fernandez. He lived there until moving to South Florida as a young adult, then the Washington, D.C. metro area, and ultimately, Atlanta, Georgia. He graduated from Jersey City State College majoring in geography and economics. Beyond being an excellent provider for his family, Frank loved traveling, sporting events, philosophy, taking daily walks, jazz music, and soaking up the sun. He was a self-proclaimed “urban philosopher” and imparted his street wisdom to his wife and children. He will live forever in our hearts and through the abundant precious memories we made with him. Frank was predeceased by his parents, Frank & Carmella Fernandez; sister, Dorothy Fernandez; uncle & aunt, Fabian & Ida Fernandez; and many other extended family members. A private Funeral Mass will be celebrated at the Catholic Church of St. Ann. We welcome all friends and family to join us virtually at www.st-ann.org/watch-live (The event recording will remain available on the church website to view at your convenience.
