Frank Emerine, III, age 85, passed away peacefully at his home in Lake Wales, Florida, on December 19, 2025.
Frank was born in Tampa, Florida. Throughout his life, he lived in several Florida communities, including New Smyrna Beach., Brandon, and Lake Wales, which he proudly called home in his later years.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 60 years, Nancy, whom he loved deeply and missed dearly.
Frank is survived by his sister, Sherry (Bob) Lanham; brother, Barry (Diane) Emerine; daughter, Janet Eastham; son, Doug (Michelle) Emerine; grandsons, Kyle (Danae) Eastham, Hunter (Erika) Emerine, and Blake Emerine; and great-grandson, Hudson Eastham.
Frank dearly loved his three grandsons and his great-grandson. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and the very best papa. Frank worked as a pipefitter throughout his career and retired from the trade with pride. In his free time, he loved fishing and especially enjoyed watching the sunrise from his home in Lake Wales.
Frank never met a stranger. He loved to talk, and everyone who met him enjoyed spending time with him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him.
