Francis Lyons Obituary
Franko passed away way too young and very suddenly of pneumonia renal kidney failure on April 4, 2024. Franko loved playing baseball and the violin. He was an expert at computer technology and loved his many, many friends and his dogs Oscar, Elmo, Scooter, and Rosco. Franko was a genius in math just like his Papa Fred. He graduated from UMass Boston with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting. Franko always helped and supported his friends who were his family-and will be their brother in their hearts forever.
He is survived by his loving Mom, Chrissy and stepfather, Jesse, and the late Francis Lyons, Jr. and his younger brother, Bailey; nephew of his most loving Aunties Patty Imperato, Anne Meola and the late Kathy McGee, nephew of Garry Meola, Joe Imperato, and John McGee, most loved cousin/brother Anthony "Tony" Imperato and cousins Andrea Imperato and her fiance' Andrew Holmes, cousin of Johnny, Brian, and Katie McGee; Grandson of Francis "Papa Frannie" Lyons and the late Theresa Lyons, loving nephew of Kevin and Lori Lyons, Kerry Lyons, Jennifer Rey, and James Lyons, cousin Tyler Taylor and so many other loving cousins from both sides of the Lyons families. He will remain in the heart of his #1 fan, his loving mother, Chrissy Lyons Agosto, forever. Franko was her world and always will be.
Visiting hours will be Thursday, April 11th from 3:00 to 7:00pm at Salvatore Rocco & Sons Funeral Home, 331 Main Street, Everett.
Thank you all for being a part of Franko's life. He truly loved you all.

Chrissy I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling right now. Although we hadn´t seen Franko in a while he will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will always remember that little boy running around the neighborhood playing with our girls, swimming in our pool, and playing basketball out front. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. With love, the Westgate family

Chrissy, I cannot even imagine the pain you are experiencing. I have so many good memories of our boys playing together. The Easter egg hunts at Leslie's house, having them over your house playing for hours. They always had so much fun together. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so heartbroken for everyone who loved Franko, most dearly for his mom, my sweet friend, Chrissy. Dear Chrissy, I love you and would do anything to take your pain away. You are a great mom - please know that. I watched you do ALL the heavy lifting of parenthood, working tirelessly to fulfill the impossible dual role of both mom and dad for Franko's entire life. Raising our boys together was such a privilege and blessing. Thank you for sharing him with our family. He will be missed by everyone, especially his group of friends who were more like 'brothers' and us moms who thought of him as a 'bonus son'. I have such fond memories throughout the years, especially of summer when he would occasionally join us at the cottage. I can still hear him calling me 'Mama Chaves' with that mischievous smile, usually after saying something hilariously inappropriate. He just had a way about him and was a beautiful soul. I loved him. I love you and I am so very sorry for your loss.
(PS - I wish I had more photos. This one, I do love because it really shows their true personalities. On their way to Derek's wedding. Franko, of course, opting for a silly face instead of his devastatingly handsome smile.)
