Frank Edward Passed away on Tuesday, November 10, 2020, loving Husband and Father of two, lost his long and brave battle to cancer age 59.

Frank was born on August 25, 1961 in Walsall, to Frank and Rita Peate where he attended the local Chuckery Junior and Joseph Leckie Secondary schools. On a chance meeting at his 21st birthday celebration, Frank met Irrena. Inseparable from the start and as love continued to blossom they got married on April 22, 1989.

An astute businessman from an early age, trawling the countries weekend markets selling china and brass with many a Family member in tow who could always recall a funny tale of the many journeys made in the old van.

From those lessons learned in market trading to the successful care home business owner and finally onward to Spanish shores investing in fine dining and entertainment.

Frank also shared a passion of horses with his Family from country rides to breeding and racing, remembering 'Frankie's Lady'. He kept a keen eye on the football scores of both Walsall Town and Chelsea and enjoyed many a trip overseas following the national England football team.

He was a devoted Husband and Soulmate to Irrena and truly loved and admired by his children whom he always taught to have coverage and strength to face everyday obstacles head on with positivity and optimism.

Frank was preceded in death by his Father Frank Edgar Peate and Mother Rita Jean Peate.

He is survived by his Wife Irrena, his children Paula and Nick, his Granddaughters Francesca, Freya and Eden and his Siblings Sharon, Vicky, Teresa, Timothy, Daniel and Trudi. Together with many Nieces, Nephews, Friends and Family too numerous to list but not forgotten.

A Private Funeral Service will take place due to the current restrictions.

As per the Family wishes, flowers may be sent to CJ Williams (Dawley, Telford) or in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Severn Hospice (Telford) which can be given online at www.memorygiving.com
