Our Favorite, Original Dirty Dancer needs our help!

Dear Compassionate Friends, Family, and Dirty Dancing Fans,

On April 26, 2025, our cherished Frank (Frankie) Quintanar passed away. A loving husband, brother, cousin, and friend. His passing has left behind his husband of 25 years, Michael R. Fletcher, who is now facing life without his beloved Frankie.

Many recognize Michael’s name, face, and signature dance moves as a principal dancer from the movie Dirty Dancing.

Michael has always been a devoted partner to Frank, caring for him in every way during their 25 years together, especially as of late. Michael was Franks sole caretaker during his final four months on earth, nurturing him in the most precious of ways. He solely provided unwavering care, love and support for Frank 24/7 prior to his passing in his home, surrounded by love with Michael by his side.

The loss of Frankie has been devasting to Michael in many ways, including financially.

Countless friends and Dirty Dancing fans and have reached out asking how to best support Michael and honor Frank’s passing, so we have started a GoFundMe account to help Michael. All donations will go directly to help him cover household expenses until he gets his life set in a new direction.

Your generosity will provide Michael with the precious gift of time so that he can focus on healing and redirecting his life rather than worrying about financial matters. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a world of difference at this time. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.

With deepest gratitude,

Sheri Bailey, Frank's Sister and Kari Cordisco, Friend
