It is with heavy hearts and profound gratitude for a life filled with love, faith, and service, we announce the passing of Pastor Frank Nikolopoulos on January 4, 2025, at the age of 87. He departed this world peacefully, surrounded by his cherished family, and entered the presence of the Lord.
Born on August 6, 1937, in Megalopolis, Greece, Pastor Frank, affectionately known as Papa Frank, was shaped by the vibrant traditions and unwavering faith of his homeland. He carried these values throughout his life, dedicating himself to his family, community, and ministry.
He is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, two children, two granddaughters, and a great-granddaughter, all of whom were blessed daily by his steadfast love and guidance. His warmth, wisdom, and his infinite kindness will forever remain in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have shared in his journey.
A man of many talents, Papa Frank was a gifted baker who brought joy to others. However, it was his role as a pastor that defined his life's mission. With a heart full of faith, he began his ministry humbly in his own home, planting the seeds of a church that blossomed into a shining beacon of hope and inspiration. Through his devotion to God and compassion for others, he touched countless lives and left an indelible mark on all who knew him.
His life stands as a testament to faith, love, and selfless service. Though he has left this earthly realm, he embarks on his eternal journey with our Heavenly Father. His enduring legacy of grace and unwavering devotion will live on for generations to come.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7). May Pastor Frank rest in eternal peace, cradled in the arms of the Lord.
A private family interment will take place at Paradise Memorial Gardens.
