Frank is a person who could never be forgotten. I will never forget the first day I met him, he came to see my Dad (Rockey Copley) and brought us kids biscuits and gravy from the Auburndale Cafe. He truly made an impression that will never fade. Even though we grew up and moved away any time my dad mentions Frank's name I smile. My life was blessed to be touched by him and his family. May GOD comfort each of you

My Dear Keisha, my prayers are with you and your mom. It will take time for those wound to heal, losing someone so dear and loving in our heart is the most painful experience for anyone to go through. I only met your Dad once on your birthday, and as this big giant man approach me, to say thank you for coming, he seems like a very gentle teddy. Just like his daughter, tough but kind heart. Hang in there my friend, "Sabes que te quiero Mucho..;)......Marisol Colon Capellan

So very sorry for your loss, Jane and Keshia,
I didn't know my cousin Frank very well but I heard a lot of fantastic stories of his fun times! He was my Dad's name sake and in some ways very different from Dad...... But I do know they both had a BIG HEART as all the Deeds' do. May the comfort of God, family, friends and wonderful memories help you through this most difficult time. Love and Many Prayers, Melinda Deeds Morgan

Our thoughts and prayers to all the family. We didn't know Frank personally, but got to know him through the stories told to us by Keshia and Kenny, and the emails we shared. He lived life on his terms, and treasured him family. Keshia, our hearts are with you through this tough time.
May the love of family and friends surround you and give you comfort.
Love you, Steven and Eileen
