FRANCISCO SALDIVAR Obituary

FRANCISCO SALDIVAR, JR.

Francisco Saldivar, Jr. entered into eternal rest on April 24, 2018 at the age of 70. He was surrounded by the love of his life Gracie Garza Saldivar and his loving son, Francisco Ramon Saldivar (Frankie).

Frank was born on April 26, 1947 in Brownsville, Texas.

He is preceded in death by his parents and four brothers.

He is survived by his Wife, Son, Sister (Panchita), two brothers and four sisters.

Frank is lovingly remembered by Guadalupe L. Garza (mother-in-law), Sisters-in-law; Carmen Garza, Patty Garza, Julie Garza, Gloria G. Tamayo, Blanca G. Massad (Luis), Rosalva G. Larrasquitu (Jaime), Brothers-in-law; Raymond Garza (Rosie), Manuel Garza (Esperanza), Carlos Garza (Judy) and Best friends Jim and Susan Estrada.

Frank enjoyed keeping his lawn trimmed and tending to his fruitful garden. He also enjoyed grilling for family and friends and playing cards, but his greatest joy was spending time at home with his family. Frank worked at Meijer's for many years and at the papermill until its closing.

Frank will be missed for his unique sense of humor, abundant kindness and his generous, caring heart he shared unconditionally with everyone he knew.

The Saldivar Family would like to give special thanks Dr. Michael Raphelson, all the wonderful Nurses and staff at the Rose Arbor Hospice House, Dr. Berger and the staff at West Michigan Cancer Center and the Doctors and Nurses at Bronson Hospital for the special care Frank received while in their care.

There will be no visitation or services. The Family would like for all those who knew and loved Frank to keep him in your prayers.
