In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his pet, Memphis. He is survived by his wife, Carol Namath, his son, Caleb Namath, his sister, Connie (Steve) Sluzynsky of Monaca, his brothers, Bobby Namath Jr. of Monaca, Richie (Sara) Namath of Conway and Danny Namath, of Weirton, West Virginia, nieces and nephews: Timmy Namath, Steven and Meghan Sluzynsky, and Madison, Abigail, and Hunter Namath; as well as aunts, Edith Namath of Beaver Falls and Sharon Namath, of New Brighton, his uncle, Joseph Namath of Florida and lastly his pet, Carlos Santiago Namath, the Golden Retriever; as well as numerous other family members.
Frank will be remembered as a devoted family man whose greatest joy in life was the time he spent with those he loved most. He took immense pride in his son, Caleb, who was truly his pride and joy. He was a constant presence at every event and milestone, always showing unwavering support and love. He had a passion for the simple things in life. He especially enjoyed canning (most notably peppers) with his cousin, Frank. He also carried on a love of cooking passed down from his father, often spending time grilling and crafting his own homemade barbeque sauce. He was an avid outdoorsman and was a dedicated fisherman who would travel to destinations such as Florida and Erie in pursuit of the perfect catch, though he was just as happy casting a line anywhere he could. When he wasn’t fishing, he could often be found riding his tractor and tending to his lawn. He was also a lifelong and enthusiastic Steelers fan who rarely missed a game and always cheering on his team with passion. Among his proudest personal accomplishments was being part of the 1985 WPIAL championship football team for Monaca, a memory he carried with him throughout his life. He will be remembered for his strong sense of family, his dedication to those he loved, and the joy he found in life’s everyday moments.
Family and friends will be received on Thursday, March 19th, from 4-7 p.m., at the J&J Spratt Funeral Home Inc., 1612 3rd Avenue, New Brighton, who was in charge of his arrangements.
