ROGELIO FRANCO Obituary

An infectious smile that could light up a room, a heart of gold, a role model, our pride and joy; these are only a few ways RJ was described by many. Rogelio Franco Jr., better known as RJ, was called to serve the Lord on January 29, 2017. RJ was an amazing athlete who never settled for less than being the best. He was dedicated and had the mindset to excel in every aspect of his life, from playing baseball and football at Montwood High School, to being a loving brother. He was raised to have pride in his work and his work ethic was evident on the field, at home, and at UPS where he worked. His family looked forward to cheering on #5 during Friday Night Lights and baseball games on Saturday mornings. RJ had a magnetic personality, as both young and old were attracted to him. His love for his family and friends was transparent and genuine. RJ impacted more people in his short 22 years than most people do in a lifetime. He is survived by his mother Lory Batista, stepfather Andy Batista, siblings Elijah, Sophia, and Leah; grandmother, Gloria San Miguel; father Roger Franco, stepmother Yvette Franco, sibling Randy, and stepbrother, Eric Galvan. He was preceded in death by stepbrother, Derek Galvan. He will be missed by aunts, uncles and many cousins. Visitation: Friday, February 3, 2017 from 5p.m. to 9p.m. at Mt. Carmel Funeral Home with Vigil Service at 7p.m. Mass: Saturday, February 4, 2017 at 10:00a.m. at St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Catholic Church. Rite of Committal to follow at Mount Carmel Cemetery. Serving as pallbearers will be Andy Batista, Tony Conde, Andy Banuelos, Elijah Batista, Abel Franco, Ricky Barrientos, Isaac Valles and Zachery Valles. We should all live our lives in the giving manner in which RJ did, giving of our time, giving of love, giving of ourselves. We ask when the soft rays of the sun warm your face, think of RJ. When a gentle breeze caresses your cheek, think of RJ.

To RJ's entire Family,
When One Member Falls, A Strong Family Rises. I will never forget the little boy who was growing to become a Great Young Man. Thank you for letting me share in his journey starting as a 9 year old. RJ offered a great smile, a great sense of humor and he was a great teammate and a winner.
Our entire Bandit Baseball Family offers a Prayer and asks Our Lord and Savior to give you the guidance, direction, strength and wisdom to heal and gain comfort from his life journey. May RJ rest in Peace and play in the baseball diamond in Heaven all geared up behind the plate starting this Sunday.
Thank you RJ
