Francis "Frank" J. Mattis of Warminster, PA, passed away on Friday, January 27, 2023. He was 50.
Frank was the beloved husband to Tina M. Cairns for 20 years, and they had been together for 31 years total. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his loving daughter Paige Noelle Mattis, his parents Frank and Bonnie Mattis, his siblings Chris Mattis (Linda) and Hilliary Muoio (Matt), and brother-in-law Billy Mucklow. Frank was preceded in death by his son Jonathan Francis Mattis and sister Heather Mucklow.
Frank worked for UPS for over 30 years. He started loading trailers during peak season but soon transferred to the IT department. Frank loved technology, from computers to digital photography to home theater systems. He enjoyed spending time with his wife, daughter, and 6 rescue dogs. He was a huge Disney fanatic and would plan trips to the theme parks with Tina and Paige years in advance. Frank had many diverse interests, including music, anime, sports (especially the Philadelphia Eagles), and the Muppets. His wit and humor will be greatly missed.
Relatives and friends are invited to gather on Saturday, February 11, 2023 from 12:00 PM until 2:00 PM, where there will be plenty of time for sharing stories and memories of Frank. A casual dress code is welcome. Wear Eagles gear if you have it.
His interment will be handled privately by the family.
In lieu of sending flowers, contributions in Frank's name may be made to Wags Rescue & Referral (wagsrescue.com) or Home at Last Dog Rescue (homeatlastdogrescue.com).
