With a heavy heart, we share that Frankie Wallace passed away peacefully in his sleep on February 13, 2025. Husband of 29 years to his dear wife, Rita, Frankie was a proud veteran of the Air Force and doting father to three beautiful daughters - Lucia, Sofia and Mia. It was Frankie's role as a father that he cherished above all else. Although many people may say there is "nothing they wouldn't do for their children", Frankie truly embodied these words. He was the bedrock of his family, choosing to work primarily in the home as head-of-household and supporter-in-chief, always putting the plans and needs of his girls first. His kindness extended to everyone in his orbit. One could not walk within 5 feet of Frankie without being offered a delicious, homemade meal, and shortly thereafter, the shirt off his back. This generosity was Frankie's hallmark trait, and one that he and Rita instilled in their amazing daughters.
In addition to his wife and daughters, Frankie is survived by his mother, Ursula (Hamlet, NC), and two brothers, Richard (Rockingham, NC) and Alexander (Charlotte, NC). There are no words to describe how Frankie will be missed by his family and the many with whom he shared his endlessly generous heart.
Services will be held at Kingdom Hall (5980 Monroe Rd., Charlotte, 28212) on Saturday, March 1, 2025 at 2 pm.

My prayers, love and sincerest condolences to Frankie's Mom, his wife and three daughters, his brothers and just all his family & loved one's. Frankie and I both graduated Richmond Sr. High together in June 1979. He was a good friend in school, & though I lost contact over the decades, I would often see his wonderful Mom & ask her about him. I am saddened to read this news about Frankie, but please know his family is in my thoughts and prayers.
