Frank Springett Obituary
1973-2019
Frank passed away last Wednesday. He graduated in 1995 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from California Maritime Academy and spent his career in the oil industry, first with Transocean Drilling and for the last seventeen years with National Oilwell Varco in Houston. Well known and liked in the industry he was active with the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). The author of over 50 patents he dedicated his working career to developing new and highly innovative solutions for the oil industry and more recently for the renewable energy industry. A dedicated athlete he completed his first Ironman triathlon in Florida in 2016 and was training for another. Frank was a loving and dedicated father and husband; the quintessential family man he was involved with his daughters' school activities and their swim team both as a coach and a judge. Frank is survived by the love of his life, his wife of twenty years Mercedes, their three daughters Adrianna, Sara and Megan and his father and sister. He will be missed by all the many people with whom he came in contact during his very active and tragically cut short life.
A service to celebrate his life will be held at 2:00 PM on Tuesday February 5th at:

Purpose Center
7500 FM 2920

Miss you Frank. You were a good friend to David, a kind "employer" to my daughter Fiona and always a friendly smile and laugh for me when we had time to be together. I'll never forget the party where you were rolling sushi for all the guests. I loved watching and then I said "would you show me how to do it?" Your face! You looked surprised but so glad that I wanted to learn. So you taught me how and I didn't do very well. There was a lot of rice all over the place when I was finished. I always admired you and Mercedes for so many reasons. It just breaks my heart that you were passed along to the eternal life before any of us were ready to say goodbye. I can't wait to someday see what you have been helping create in Heaven with our Creator.
If you can just invent a way to poke your head through the "veil" please come back and hug Mercedes and the girls. They are really missing you. And so are we.
Siempre estarás en nuestros corazones Frank. Nunca vamos a olvidarte, te queremos.
