Loving Memory of Frank Rivoli
Frank Rivoli
October 5, 1946- August 29, 2025
With heavy hearts and deep gratitude for a life beautifully lived, we announce the passing of Frank Rivoli, who left us peacefully on August 29th after a courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease. He was 78 years old.
Frank was more than a beloved husband, father, brother, papa, uncle and friend — he was a light in every room, a gentle soul who always put others first, and truly, the kindest man you will ever know. His kindness wasn’t loud or flashy — it was in every small gesture, every comforting word, every moment he gave to others without ever asking for anything in return.
Those fortunate enough to know Frank were touched by his warmth, humility, and unwavering optimism — even in the face of great personal challenge. Parkinson’s may have tested his body, but never his spirit.
Frank's legacy lives on in the lives he touched — the strangers he treated like family, family he mentored, the friends he never forgot, and the love he gave so freely. His life was a quiet masterpiece of generosity, laughter, and love.
In Honor of Frank: Help Us Continue the Fight Against Parkinson’s
In lieu of flowers, the Rivoli family kindly asks that donations be made in Frank’s memory to support Parkinson’s disease research. Every contribution brings us one step closer to better treatments — and one day, a cure.
Thank you,
The Rivoli Family.
