February 16, 1949 – January 20, 2022
“Frank” (known by all) was born an only child in Havana, Cuba in 1949. Frank first immigrated to New York City in the early 80’s, and soon after, moved to Miami, Florida. While in Miami, Frank met the love of his life, Cristina and her (4) children whom he helped raise and love like his own.
Frank and Cristina married on February 21st, 1989; they would have celebrated their 33rd Anniversary in a few weeks. Frank and Cristina were inseparable from the moment they met. Frank, did about everything you needed. The question, “Can He Fix It?” was always replied with, “Yes He Can”. Frank was proficient in so many trades since he was a mechanic, an electrician, a plumber, and a painter to name a few. You name it, Frank could do it. He was our own Neighborhood Handy-Man. Frank, worked as a Maintenance Condominium Manager in Coconut Grove for over 30 Years before retiring in Hollywood, Florida.
To know him was to love him, he had a generous heart and his big smile was infectious; he would light up a room. He would do anything for anyone, no questions asked. He was a man of Faith who loved and adored the Lord like no other. In his last few years, he battled a series of medical complications and tackled them all with grace. Keeping his eyes on the Lord who would strengthen him every single time. He was a courageous man never complaining just making sure his family was fine especially his loving wife, Cristina, who never left his side.
On the afternoon of Thursday, January 20, 2022, Julian Francisco Lopez was summoned by the Lord to help fix The Pearly Gates that weren’t working properly. He left this life peacefully in his home surrounded by love of his family.
Frank, you are loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measures.
Your presence will be missed, and your memory will always be remembered and treasured!

16 de febrero de 1949 – 20 de enero de 2022
“Frank” (conocido por todos) nació como hijo único en La Habana, Cuba en 1949. Frank emigró por primera vez a la ciudad de Nueva York a principios de los años 80 y poco después se mudó a Miami, Florida. Mientras estaba en Miami, Frank conoció al amor de su vida, Cristina y sus (4) hijos, a quienes ayudó a criar y amar como si fueran suyos.
Frank y Cristina se casaron el 21 de febrero de 1989; habrían celebrado su 33 Aniversario en unas pocas semanas. Frank y Cristina fueron inseparables desde el momento en que se conocieron. Frank, hizo todo lo que necesitabas. La pregunta, “¿Puede Frank arreglarlo?” siempre se le respondía con un “El sí puede”. Frank era competente en tantos oficios ya que era mecánico, electricista, plomero y pintor, por nombrar algunos. Lo que fuera, Frank podría hacerlo. Era nuestro propio Handy-Man del vecindario. Frank, trabajó como administrador de mantenimiento de condominios en Coconut Grove durante más de 30 años antes de jubilarse en Hollywood, Florida.
Conocerlo era amarlo, tenía un corazón generoso y su gran sonrisa era contagiosa; iluminaba cualquier habitación. Haría cualquier cosa por cualquiera, sin hacer ninguna pregunta. Era un hombre de fe que amaba y adoraba al Señor como ningún otro. En sus últimos años, luchó contra una serie de complicaciones médicas y las lucho todas con gracia. Manteniendo sus ojos en el Señor que lo fortalecería cada vez. Era un hombre valiente que nunca se quejaba, solo se aseguraba de que su familia estuviera bien, especialmente su amada esposa, Cristina, quien nunca se apartó de su lado.
En la tarde del jueves 20 de enero de 2022, Julián Francisco López fue llamado por el Señor para ayudar a reparar Las Puertas Perladas que no funcionaban correctamente. Dejó esta vida en paz en su hogar rodeado del amor y del cariño de su familia.
Frank, eres amado más allá de las palabras y te extrañaremos más allá de las medidas.
¡Se extrañará tu presencia y tu memoria siempre será recordada y atesorada!

Tata such a sweet, funny, and all around amazing person. This is one of the hardest things I have to go through. I miss you saying “Chelitaa” everytime you saw me, I miss you always asking me for a hand massage.. only God knows how much I’d give right now to at least once.. give you one of those again. You’ve made me feel so loved, so special, and cared for. You were always supportive towards my dreams, and achievements. No words can express how much you truly have meant to me all my life. I always believe, God gives his toughest battles, to his strongest soldiers. And you definitely are the most strongest soldier I know, and will always know. I love you Tata.. siempre en mi corazón . – Tu Chelita.

Daysi – The loss of a parent is one of life’s saddest moments. When the father-daughter bond is as strong as the one you had with your dad, it is even more difficult to endure. I am so sorry you and your loved ones have lost an exceptional husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Although I never met your father, the words written about his life are proof as to what an amazing person he was, and that he will be terribly missed by everyone.

Always there for assistance and guidance without even being asked to. I learned so much from you in a short period of time, and for that, I am grateful. You were a kind and generous man that left a mark on so many, and we will miss you tremendously. Watch over us all. God bless your soul

Frank,
We are truly going to miss you.
What an amazing person and, what a remarkable life. I feel so lucky that you became part of our family.
We shared a lot of happy moments together. Starting with Nick and Daysi’s wedding, then waiting anxiously in Memorial for the births of Nicky and Romeo. Then the fun we had at their birthday celebrations and Grandparents Day at Nativity.
How about the Media Noche sandwich and cafe con leche you had every day while remodeling Nick and Daysi’s house. You made the best Spanish type BBQ ribs that i have ever tasted..
The holidays we celebrated together, were so much fun.
The memories that we have shared will console us and bring us joy when we think of you. But, our family will not be the same without you. Your shining personality will live on in our hearts.
This is not a “Goodbye” but a “See you later” as we finish up our lives and one day also join you.

Mr. Lopez
Even though I was only able to participate in a couple of family gatherings with you, I feel like I know you so well and that’s because Throughout the past 4 1/2 years since I met your beautiful family, I have heard nothing but good things about you from Daysi and her concern for your health and well-being went over and beyond.
I am sure you will remain in Cristina and Daysi’s and the rest of the families hearts as you were so very special to them. Be at peace in heaven and I’m sure you will do nothing but look over them.
Our whole family extends our condolences to your wonderful family.

She’s a wonderful daughter and I know you will be watching over her and Cristina your beautiful wife and family from heaven.
Our whole family extends our condolences and will keep you in our prayers and hearts!

Sr López
No tuve mucho tiempo para conocerlo pero ha dejado recuerdos de bondad y amor sincero en su familia. Llevo 5 años de amistad con Daysi y durante esos años ella ha sido la mayor fanática de sus padres constantemente pendiente de su salud y bienestar.
La Paz que usted le radiaba de saber que su madre Cristina estaba en sus manos y que juntos se cuidaban es grandiosa y dejó marcada esa huella en ella y su familia.
Ahora lo llevaremos en oración sabiendo que usted descansa al lado de nuestro padre celestial.
Amén
