Frank Rustek, 67, of Middletown (formerly of Portland) passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on February 11, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was the son of the late Frank and Dorothy (Dottie) Rustek.

Frank's greatest joy in life was spending time with his three grandchildren, as well as cooking and talking about sports.

Frank is survived by his wife, Cindy, his daughter, Becky and son-in-law, Mariusz, grandchildren, Olivia, Oliver, and Chloe, sister, Marsha Sienna, as well as several nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was predeceased by his brother, Jeffrey.

In lieu of a service, the family asks that you spend quality time with your loved ones, as this is what Frank would have wanted.

My brother-in-law Frank meant a lot to us. He was always thinking of others and how he could help them out he loved his family love to cook, always sharing everything he made with us and loved his pets, as well as our dog who he treated like his own. He l always glowed every time he was with the grandkids and was happy watching the fights with Chip and just spending time together, doing the simple things in life, cooking being one of the most that he enjoyed along with a family and pets. He will be greatly missed, but always in our heart rest in peace Frank , apart of me & the family is missing without you. We love you Frank So sorry to my sister, niece and entire family for such a great loss.
