Uncle Frank Palazzolo Celebration of life

Hi, we are Toni Young & Jodie King and we are fundraising on behalf of uncle Franks nephews.

As you may be aware due to the sudden passing of Frank Palazzolo on Saturday 17 May, 2025. We want to give Frank the send off, a celebration of life that he deserves, and this has been quite challenging due to his unexpected passing. We are hoping to raise funds which will go directly to pay for funeral costs.

Frank’s 40-year career in security in the NT was marked by dedication and a drive to make a difference. An unwavering commitment to his community, tireless work ethic, and the ability to inspire those around them.

Many may remember him from his early security days at venues that no longer exist - Darby’s, Beachcombers, MGM Grand casino, Honey Pot in more recent times Royal Darwin show. Or if you want to go way back. Katherine Rural College and The Beaufort hotel where Frank was a porter.

Beyond professional achievements, to those closest to Frank or ‘Uncle Frank’ as he is affectionally known, family was the heart of his world. Frank, the youngest of his siblings was very close to his parents Frank Snr (dec) and Rita (dec) and chose precious time to care for both parents. Frank chose a child free life. He was favourite uncle to his nephews, godchildren, and friends kids too. A legacy of strong family values of loyalty and kindness. A loving son, uncle and friend, Frank made his home filled with warmth, laughter and plenty of food. Franks big heart created bonds that were cherished by everyone fortunate enough to be part of his journey.

Any help of a donation big or small is greatly appreciated and will assist his nephews with the costs involved to lay Frank to rest.

Rest in peace, Frank Palazzolo
