Frankie’s Memorial Costs

Donation protected
This is Frank James Speno. 
Our baby brother. 
Known as Frankie by many. Known as Scoob to our mother. Known as Franklin to our brother. Frankie J to his friends. The best uncle Frankie you could ask for! 

This past week we were absolutely devastated to learn our brother passed away in the early morning of Saturday February 13th. 

Just 23 years old. 
A young life cut short.

The potential and beauty we lost that day leaves a hole in our hearts. 
Frankie was so inspired, he was so motivated, he was excited to take on life and become the best version of himself. He purchased his first car, a brand new 2019 Kia Optima, just two months ago! It was perfect for him, he was so proud and couldn't stop smiling that day and for many days to follow. 

We talked of trips and vacations. We talked of the future and how bright it looked from here. 
And now our future has lost a glimmer of light. 
 
No matter the nickname, no matter the life happenings, his heart always stayed the same. Frank was incredibly sweet and loving. Frankie had a warmth around him that reminded us what unconditional love is really like. He was so passionate to those that were less fortunate than he, and was willing to give the shirt from his back and the shoes from his feet, if it meant you would be better. 
 He always befriended those who needed needed a friend, he protected those who couldn't protect themselves. He loved his family and friends more than he even loved himself. He would have done anything for us. 

And we know, that if LOVE could have saved him, he would have lived forever ❤️

Frankie deserves to be remembered in a positive beautiful light. Therefore we are raising these funds to help my sister and I throw a celebration of life ceremony. He deserved to live. He deserved to get a chance at life. We want to make this very special for him. We also are purchasing a plot and a memorial headstone in O’Fallon MO, off of Hwy K, where all of his precious memories reside. He spent many years riding his bike on those roads, and running around with his friends. 

Feel free to contact myself, or my sister, Kenyatta for any questions or more details! 

Thank you all so much For all of your kindness through this tough time ❤️
