Francesco "Frankie" Meale

Francesco "Frankie" Meale, a cherished son, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away on May 17, 2025, in Kettering, Ohio. Born on August 7, 1995, in Cleveland, Ohio.

Frankie was the beloved son of Massimo and Chanthary Meale. He was a grandson to Maria Meale; brother to Linda (Jackie) Meale and Nani (Stanley) Meale-Frazier, and a proud uncle to his nieces and nephews: Ayana, Amelia, Jayden, and Riley.

Frankie's passion was writing, which allowed him to express his thoughts and dreams, and he found great joy in attending concerts, wrestling matches and baseball games. These interests were more than hobbies—they were a reflection of his spirit and a source of happiness that he shared with those around him.

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Franco Meale, his maternal grandfather, Hang Tith; maternal grandmother, Soun Poum, and his best friend, Braden Johnson. Each of these individuals left a mark on Frankie's life, and their memories will continue to be cherished by those who loved him.

Friends and family are invited to pay their respects during visitation at Belton Stroup Funeral Home in Fairborn, Ohio, on May 21, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. A funeral service will follow that evening at 7:00 PM, with an additional service on May 22, 2025, at 1:00 PM. Frankie’s family will honor his memory during these gatherings, as they come together to celebrate his life and the joy he brought to those around him.

Frankie’s presence will be dearly missed, but his spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
