I am completely heartbroken by the news i just recieved...i met franky through his girlfriend jenna and at first him and i did not see eye to eye on much, later in life we ran into eachother again and became very good friends... we would spend hours lauguing about the world around us and finding ways to make eachother laugh. Franky helped me whenever he could see i was depressed about something, he could always find a way to make me laugh.
I was so proud of him and the way he stepped up to be a great father to his son. He was a good friend and obviously a great dad, and it was awesome to see him and jenna being parents together.
Jenna, i pray strength for you and am so sorry for your and your sons loss.
Franky my dear friend, you will never be forgotten. You were different and thats why i liked you and why we got along so well. You were a great friend and i will miss you homie. Rest in paradise my dude. See you on the other side. And that stupid article they wrote about you.. that was just FLAGRANT. Ima miss you man. Im glad we got the little time that we did as friends.

I cant put into words how many times this guy was the only one there for me when nobody else was. He was the only person who made me feel a sense of security and safety and peace Everytime hed be around me. He never let me give up on myself even when he wanted to give up on himself. He was selfless and always wanted to understand people in ways they didnt even understand themselves. He was my only and best friend and although we grew apart so he could focus on his beautiful family that he loved MORE THAN ANYTHING the memories we shared and the love I have for him will NEVER subside in my heart. One of the best guys Ive EVER met.

I did not know Frankie but I was one of the people that stopped at his accident I called 911. I just want to say I am sorry for your loss and I pray for the family left behind. Sounds like he was a great man and I am so sorry for the great loss and the grief his family is going through at this time.
