Frank T. Valente Jr. (Frankie)

Frank T. Valente Jr. (Frankie) of Stoneham, passed away on Saturday May 30th, 2026 at his home. He was 72 years of age.

Frankie is the beloved father of Tanya R. Valente. He is the loving son of  Eleanor M. (Visocchi) Valente and the late Frank T. Valente Sr. He is also survived by many loving cousins and friends.

Frankie was very proud of being a great mechanic for many years until his health failed. His biggest passion in life was riding Harley’s and being free. He had many lifelong friends he was close to that have passed away long before him. He was an only child but had a best friend, (Frankie B.) who he referred to as “brother from another mother” whom he is reunited with again. Frankie was proud to have a close-knit family and such amazing parents. His loving mother was still by his side at the very end with undying love along with his cherished daughter Tanya. 

Frankie was a rebel but had the world’s biggest, purest heart of gold and spoke what he felt. He was genuine and loyal to the end for those he loved and cherished. He will always hold a huge place in everyone’s heart and his rebellious, stubborn, loving, loyal nature will continue on in our memories and hearts. After all the health challenges he encountered, hopefully he is up there riding his motorcycle with his buddies again free of pain.

Family and friends are kindly invited to gather and share memories with his family on Thursday June 4th, 2026, in the Barile Family Funeral Home, 482 Main St. (RT28) Stoneham from 10 am to 12 pm followed by a Funeral Service Celebrating Frank's Eternal Life at 12 PM.
