Frank Salvatore Fabiano, age 38, of Holiday, Florida, passed away peacefully in his home, surrounded by family, on August 15, 2025, at 12:55 PM.
Frank was a beloved son, brother, husband, father, and dear friend to many. Known for his big heart, contagious energy, and unwavering faith, Frank touched countless lives with his generosity, strength, and steadfast commitment to those he loved. He was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back and show up whenever and wherever he was needed.
Born in Vero Beach, Florida, Frank moved to Port Richey in 2009 to help care for his father. It was there that he rescued a dog named Coco Chenelle and found a spiritual home at a local church, where he became the Children's Minister-captivating young hearts with his passion, charisma, and deep love for the Lord. His faith was the foundation of his life, and he leaned heavily on it through every challenge, especially during his battle with cancer. He never wavered in his trust that he was in God's hands and made it his mission to instill that same faith in his children. In a beautiful twist of fate, it was through this church's children's ministry that Frank met the love of his life, Renee. Together, they blended their families-welcoming Renee's daughters, Krystanna, LeylaRay, and Avalynne, along with her dogs Iggy and Rocket. The couple later moved to Holiday, where they welcomed two more children, Isabella and Frankie, and added more furry family members: a cat named Tiger and a dog named Petey Bear.
Frank poured his energy into his family, his faith, and his work. He was a natural leader, becoming a roofing supervisor at Armored Roofing, where he earned the respect and admiration of his team. There was little Frank couldn't fix, figure out, or improve. Whether it was on the field as a coach, at the church pulpit, or in the backyard organizing neighborhood games, Frank made everything better by simply being himself.
He had a deep love for the outdoors, enjoying activities such as surfing, golfing, boating, and especially swimming in the ocean. He carried that same enthusiasm into every aspect of his children's lives, volunteering at church, school events, and field trips. His booming voice, signature sayings like "You're killing me, Smalls," and heartfelt renditions of songs-whether in the car or at church-made him unforgettable. He lived with intention, purpose, and a heart full of love.
Frank is survived by his wife, Renee Fabiano; children Krystanna, LeylaRay, Avalynne, Isabella, and Frankie; mother, Denise; sisters Teresa (Ken) and Mary (Chris); nieces Kylie and Alyssa; nephews Daryl and Cayden; and grandmother, Carolyn Biles.
He is preceded in death by his father, Frank Fabiano; his grandparents, Frank and Elsie Fabiano; and his grandfather, James Biles.
A celebration of Frank's life will be held on Saturday, September 13th, 2025, at 1:00 PM at Holiday Free Methodist Church, 5330 Whippoorwill Dr, Holiday, FL 34690.
Donations or floral arrangements may be sent to the family's home.
Frank's legacy of faith, strength, and love lives on through all who knew him. Though our hearts are heavy, we rejoice in knowing he is at peace in the arms of the Lord.
