Frank Pittelkow Obituary
The son of Nancy Ann (Froman) & Frank Carl-Richard Pittelkow, Sr., he was born on November 8, 1968 in Grand Rapids.
Butch loved watching football, animals, and spending time with his sister… especially their regular "lunch dates".

Surviving are his sister, April Bassler & Felix Valdes of Hamilton; a brother, Paul & Amber Coleman of Grand Rapids; eight nieces and nephews; one great-niece; one great-nephew; many cousins; his family of caregivers at Beacon Springs; and his faithful guardian, Gina Boyd.
Honoring his wishes, cremation has taken place and no services are planned at this time. To send a message of sympathy to the family, sign Butch's online guest book, or to share a favorite memory, please visit: www.MichiganCremation.com
Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Michigan Cremation & Funeral Care, Grand Rapids, (616) 452-3006.

I am very sorry for your loss. I was one of Frank's care givers at Beacon Springs West. Frank was a great guy. I remember playing Uno with him. Frank and I would pretend like we would write his ono on one up for silly things like saying they were picking on Frank when they really weren't, but we would all laugh about it. RIP buddy. You will be missed, but not forgotten.
