Fankie,
I'm glad you found me on the social networks and sent me your music videos. I watched every last one of them!!!
I just saw you in November and gave you a hug! You know I haven't seen you sense high school before that. It hurts me to my heart to know that you will no longer be here physically. My prayers go out to your family. I pray that GOD gives them strength to cope with such a tragic loss!!! You have changed lives forever my friend!
May your body rest in peace...
While your soul lives on forever!
GOD BLESS

I went from watching you play sports around the way as lil Frankie to being Frank and having a presence about you that commanded respect. I watched how the youngins around you felt safe in your company. I recently commented to another homie that you were a soldier for your loved ones. Now you are a soldier in God's army and you are another angel in heaven watching over us. Rest In Peace Frank Amobi

My Frankie,
I want you to know that I am saddened that you did not get to say goodbye. I am normally so full of words but, at this time I am mute and my heart cries. I will always remember our good times and have great memories to last. You left a large host of people that will miss you unconditionally (especially me); and I'm honored that we were able to be apart of each others lives and have such impact. I will always Love You & Remember you Forever!
Rest in Paradise Peacefully
Franklin "Frankie" Amobi

Frankie it hurts so bad to know that you are not here anymore, it was just the other day we were laughing and joking! I am honored that I got to spend so many years with you, ten years of laughter and great memories. My first love. I watched one of your videos the other day and smiled when I heard u say my name! You thought of me, and that means so much to me. From Prom to late night convos, to sneaking out to just young teenage love that was us! Forever cherishing our time together. I will continue to pray for you and your family everyday babes I loved u since I was 14 and that will continue forever!!! R.I.P Frankie baby.. my 1st love !!

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

Such a kind young man. Man you Rest in Eternity Peacefully.
