Frank Edward Heinz
4/11/1960-11/30/2025
Frank Edward Heinz, 65, of Buffalo, entered into rest November 30, 2025. Predeceased by parents, Edward R. and Patricia M. (nee Lundmark) Heinz. Devoted father of Frankie Heinz, Gregory Heinz (Rachel Tabone) and Paige Heinz (Juan Rodriguez); cherished grandfather of Layla, Ariyanna, Zoey, Amelia, Bentley, Stormy and Shayna; dear brother of Paula M. (late Dennis) Hunt and Marie P. (Andrew) Bolya; also survived by cousins and many friends including his beloved companion, Cheri Moss.
He was a man of genuine goodness, hardworking, loyal, funny, and kind in all the ways that truly matter. He worked hard his entire life, could fix just about anything, and took pride in taking care of the people he loved. He enjoyed the simple things that brought him joy, like camping, playing pranks on others, Tuesday night bowling with his team and son, wandering through garage sales, watching football, and spending every moment he could with family and friends. Even in the hardest moments, his personality shined through, his humor, his stubborn strength, and the little things he would say that reminded everyone exactly who he was. He leaves behind a legacy of love, loyalty, and the unforgettable humor that lives on in every story we tell about him. He truly left a mark on everyone who knew him, and he will be missed more than words can ever express. His children kindly ask that you share your favorite memories of him in the comments, so his stories and spirit can continue to live on. No prior visitation. A celebration of Frank's life will be held at a later time. Please contact his children or visit Frank's Facebook for more details.
