FRANK JOHN PUTARO

May 24, 1958 – June 30, 2024

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father on June 30, 2024. Frank was 66 years old. He is predeceased by his father Luigi Putaro; and his mother Magdalena Putaro (née Zacharias). He is survived by his siblings, Michael (Karen), Nino, Robert, and Anne (Vince). He is also survived by his children, Rachel (Robert), Stephen, Frank (Jennie), Andrew, Nathan, Ninna, and Autumn. He had many grandchildren; Christopher, Caylin (Michael), Zachary, Sierra, Tatiana, Jaiden, and Carter, and was blessed with a great-grandson, Arthur, before his passing. Frank also had many nieces and nephews. 


Frank was a jack-of-all-trades kind of guy, but his main professions were auto mechanic, locksmith, and alarm installer. Frank was a very smart and talented man. If you locked yourself out, or needed help with car repairs he would come out and lend a hand. Frank was always a phone call away. Frank lived a freelance lifestyle, he loved fishing, bbq's, and the outdoors. He was born and spent most of his life in Winnipeg but also lived in Chicago for a time.


He will be greatly missed by all of his friends, and family and may he rest in peace. 


Cremation has taken place, and a celebration of life will be privately held by immediate family. 


The family would like to express their gratitude, and thanks to Ethical Death Care for their kindness, and respect shown to our father.


Frank's family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories by using the comment section on this page.

We were so very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing . Frank Sr had a love of many things including his family in his own way. Frank Sr made everyone's life a little challenging at times but in his mind he thought he was making right decisions .Frank Sr had a love of Cars and was very mechanically inclined ,and always ready to lend a hand when needed . Frank Sr passed on his love of Cars and Mechanics to his Son Frank ,Father and Son were sometimes in Franky's Garage working on a motor or a car or a Quad ,or truthfully anything that had wheels. .Frank and his Dad kept in touch when they could due to his Dad's lifestyle but they loved each other and it showed when they got together . Frank Sr may you rest in blissful peace and know your demons are now gone . R.I. P

I met Frank at our church bbq. He sat alone & beside a table of us. Eventually we talked at the bbq & hit it off as friends.

 

He was always sharing stories with me. He was quite the man with his stories, a great conversationalist, and always made me smile. How could one NOT love Frank? I did.

 

I will always cherish his memory & will dearly miss him. The Sunday before his passing we shared lunch, chatted for 4-5 hours.

 

Frank was in tons of physical pain. Even still he had a smile, brought donuts to share, and was kind. His honesty providing advice on dating after 50, men & their true intentions had me intrigued & laughing like crazy.

 

My deepest condolences to his family. Know that Frank was well loved in our church community & I for onei considered him a friend. I looked forward to seeing him, sitting with him, and talking to him.

 

May he rest in perfect peace painfree seated at the right hand of God the Father.

 

God bless you Frank. You were a interesting, kind, regretful man who sincerely desired to make right some of the tough choices & decisions of his life.

 

Meet me at the gates one day again Frank. See u again my friend!!!

Our condolences to the family of this wonderful person. He was a sweet and nice person. When I Sara met frank online thru my husband tom. He was always happy and ready to talk about everything. He helpt us by listening and advice when we had a difficult time. Even when we are living in a different time zone. Thru time we even called him just to know how it was with him. We had a lot of fun times. He has became a very good friend/family.

Tom: he was a person with a very complicated life. In that life he needed to make a lot of choices. Choices to protect him self and his family. Some choices has done good for him. And some are a total mess. This mess was the weight of te bag that he was carrying with him. Even when he tried his best that he can. It always ended in parts loses and a lot of pain. But he did it. He did it not for his own good, but with the hope that he ever reunion the family. And get back the loses he lost. After everything he went thru, he ended on the road full of pain illness and with the feeling he can't change it anymore. The end was waiting behind the corner. Comfort softly and in silence. The time had come to say good bye and the time has choosing that it need to end here.

Franky you're my soulmate, my carrier of pain and your my inspiration to see you leaving like a bird without the pain and stress.

Dear

you're best friends Alfa and sara (red kierra). We pray for u. My God bless you!

Losing dad has been very hard for me. There really are no words that I can say to express the pain that is felt because of his absence. I talked to dad everyday. I didn't want to miss a single moment of time with my father. He meant a lot to me. I miss him so very much and I love him dearly. Rest In Peace Dad.
