Obituary For Mr. Frank DeFilippis III

Mr. Frank Samuel (Frankie) DeFilippis III, 56, of Hudson, NH went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, October 9, 2021 suddenly while visiting his parents in Beckley, WV.

Frankie was employed as a technician with Lockheed Martin for 30 years. He loved his job and those he worked with. He enjoyed collecting coins, camping, watching football (especially the Patriots), going to the movies and traveling. He always enjoyed making people laugh with a joke.

Frankie was preceded in death by his brother, Christopher DeFilippis; maternal and paternal grandparents; several aunts and uncles.

He is survived by his parents, Frank and Fran DeFilippis Jr.; brother, Thomas, all of Beckley; ex-wife, Mia DiMattia of North Andover, MA; brother-in-law; sister-in-law; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

As per his request, he has been cremated. A memorial service will be planned at a later date.

Frankie was loved and will be missed by all.

    Frank and Fran I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Frank as such a sweet guy with the shy infectious smile. So many good memories growing up with him in church youth group. Mike and I send our love and prayers. Mia, Frank was blessed to have you in his life. I wish we could have spent more time together but we will always have our memories from the 1984 class of GBCS reunion weekend in Roanoke. Love and prayers, Mike and Michelle Diciuccio

    We've known Frank since 1996, I met him while working with Mia. He was always a sweet man. My husband and him had a fun time snowmobiling a few years back, i'll never forget Frank coming back covered in snow! It was a fun filled weekend! I wish both of you our sympathy and hope you both are ok. Love, Bernie and Donna Dube

    Frank and Fran, I am so sorry for the loss of Frank, he will be missed by myself and my family! He was loved by us all, I am so happy he was able to be with you all and felt the love of his family around him when he passed, it comforts me to know he wasn't alone. My hope is you all will find comfort in knowing one day we all will meet back up in glory and as of now he is rejoicing with Chris and no longer in pain and walking the streets of gold probably telling jokes with his brother! I am sure he was met at the gates by all who passed before him.
