Frank valdez , papaw , Apple , honey, son, brother, baby boy , dad, devin had many names. To each of us he was more than special.
Dad married my mother in 2008 , blending families. my brother Jacob and sister Elizabeth and i gained a sister Samantha and dad who became a great father to us .
when my mom and dad got together, I was scared the he was going to take my mom from me but instead he took us both.
Not to long after blending families dad became a papaw, this is what all his grand babies called him. ( papaw was present at the hospital with my sister each time she gave birth just waiting to hold each new baby)
the dad I knew was a funny, handy( taught Me a few things but don’t really know if i caught on ) , a an straight shooter, Dad told everyone how it was, no sugar coating. Dad played like he had a hard shell, but he really was a sensitive tender man.
Due to his physical health, he became known as a grumpy man, but behind all that grumpiness he was the sweetest , giving , loving, selfless person! He adored his family, each of us had constant reminders from text messages , calls , in person conversations, where he would make it a point to tell us he loved us. My mother and dad would argue all the time, but a second later both would call each adoring names, my mother knew it was not him but the meds or pain.
I want people to know that dad lived in constant pain, pain that I think was unbearable at times, but despite that pain , he would muster the energy to do things with my mom, play with his grand babies, hang with his brothers, talk to us over the phone, spend time at holiday parties, clean the house, do kid pick up , babysit , help family and friends ….all just for us
It will be hard not having him here, sometimes I know we will feel like it is unbearable, but my mom , us kids , we know , we know he is not in pain anymore, you have unless joy, he is whole , running with 2 legs , dancing in the sky!!!
I love you dad thank you for letting me be your son!
We will catch up to fishing , we just let you have a head start

Frankie would text me everyday when I was taking care of Dad and everyday since cuz he knew how much I was hurting. He was the best of men and I am so beyond blessed that I had him as my brother. I pray that My Dad and the rest of our lost love ones were there to hug him and welcome him home 🕊️

Frank, or should I call you Genesis? Lol
I know your laughing at this. You were my first love but we seemed better off as friends. You have me the best gift in the world, our daughter, Samantha. She was always the one thing I have treasured that came from us.
I'm not going to read or like any messages for at least a while. You have another family now and this is their day to celebrate your life. I'll say goodbye to you from afar via watching live streaming.
Thanks for the chats over the years. It was great that we were able to remain friends.
Please keep an eye on our baby over the years. She's going to need to have you looking over her when she gets married and has babies of her own. We taught her well so no worries.
I'll miss you. And I'm thankful your whole again and no longer in pain.
Someday we'll meet again and share our Phil Collins/Genesis jokes. And when I listen to the group Enigma I'll always smile.
Until me meet again.

To lose you my love, brings pain beyond belief there are no words to ease my pain my sadness and my grief. I feel I've lost the closet person to me, my best friend, love of my life, father to our kids, Papaw to our grand babies. I will always be thinking of your special ways, always loving me more than I could ask, we did everything together even though you didn't like didn't feel up to it, because of your love for me you pushed through. I wish you hadn't left me I'm so lost without you, we had so many plans yet to do. But although you have left me in this world you'll stay within my heart guiding like an Angel even though we are apart For love is everlasting and so are my memories - your legacy that's always there to light the way for me and the kids.
Know you took part of my heart with you I love you more than words can explain - your wife 'Bear'
