September 21, 1960 - November 1, 2023
Francesco (Frank) was born in Hamilton, Ontario on September 21, 1960 to Rose Mary and Giuseppe Di Stefano. Frank moved to the Sunshine Coast in the early 1990's and had called Gibsons home ever since. He was the oldest of seven siblings, being the big brother to Josie, Anna (Arnold), Sandra (Ed), John (Yvonne), Linda and Joe (Ava-Dee). He was the beloved father of Steven and grandfather to Rylan. Frank had many nieces and nephews, extended family and great number of friends. Frank is predeceased by his parents and nephew Tony.
Frank enjoyed many things in his life. He was a hard worker who enjoyed living simply. All he needed to make him happy was to spend time with family, friends, his dog, Lexi and a good beer to enjoy. He loved spending time on his quad with his grandson, Rylan, who brought him great joy.
Frank had a sharp mind, and great sense of humor. He could fix almost anything mechanical and had the ability to think outside the box. He was happiest just spending time with the people around him. Frank was always willing to lend a hand to anyone he came across for no other reason that it was the right thing to do.
Rest in peace Frank.
You are forever in our hearts and so greatly missed.
