Frank FABIAN

1947 - 2023

FRANK JULIUS FABIAN Heaven welcomed an angel on July 4, 2023. Frank Fabian passed away after a courageous eight-year journey with genetic heart disease. By his side were his beloved wife of 42 years, Rita; and his children, Adam and Erika. Frank was born in Montreal in 1947 to wonderful parents, Frank and Mary Fabian, a younger brother to Nancy. They had a large and vibrant extended Hungarian family, with many delightful aunts, uncles and cousins. Frank earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering from McGill University, and an MBA from the University of Western Ontario. After his studies, Frank moved to Toronto and enjoyed a long and successful career in the packaging and electronics industries. He gleefully retired as early as possible to focus on the important things in his life, like playing golf, fishing, dining with friends, DIY home improvements and napping. Frank adored his friends and family, and most of all, his dog, Delilah. He treasured his time spent with those he loved at the Islington Golf Club, on Go Home Lake, and in Sarasota. 'Frankie' will be deeply missed by his sister, Nancy Harris; brother-in-law, Don Harris; sister-in-law, Inta McChesney, and Douglas McChesney and their families. We will always remember his kind heart and friendly smile. He was intelligent, accomplished, hilarious and humble. We could go on… To honour the skilled and compassionate community of doctors and nurses who cared for Frank's complex heart over the years, the family would appreciate donations to the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, the St. Michael's Foundation, or the St. Joseph's Health Centre. A private funeral has been held. There will be a celebration of Frank's life on July 20, 2023, from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. at the Islington Golf Club.
