Francisco Javier Bravo

Francisco "Frank" Javier Bravo, age 65, of Tampa, Florida passed away on March 12, 2025. Frank was born on October 27, 1959 in Santiago de las Vegas, Cuba. He was preceded in death by his parents, Manuel & Matilde Bravo. He is survived by his 2 brothers, Jose Manuel & Antonio Lino, 4 daughters, Jessica (Anthony), Franchesca (Christopher), Aryana, Gianna and 5 grandchildren, Jaileen, Jadian, Alexander, Nicholas, and Avayah along with many dear friends and family.

Frank started working at a young age as a dishwasher at Latam Restaurant, later working as a butcher for Catalina Finer Foods and found his passion working at Steward-Mellon Co as a floor mechanic for over 30 years, where the highlight of each week for him was finding out the next Publix Supermarket he would be making floors look beautiful throughout the Southeast region. When he wasn't working, Frank loved the outdoors, fishing, the beach, boating, racketball, watching sporting events and even more, spending time with his family and friends. His zest for life, positive spirit and infectious laugh lit up every room he walked into and will be dearly missed by everyone that knew him.

The family would like to extend a huge thank you to Tampa General Hospital for all the love, care, and support that was provided!
