Frank LaManna

FRANK LaMANNA, age 66 passed away June 17, 2026. Beloved husband of Cookie for 34 years. Loving father of Jim (Lisa) and Joe (Dawn). Devoted "Papa" of Faith. Brother of Stella (deceased), Kathy (deceased), Carmela, and Al (Kate).

Frank passed away surrounded by the love of family and friends, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, faith, friendship, and service to others.

Known throughout Northeast Ohio as a beloved Car Cruise DJ for FLP, Frank was a familiar voice and a cherished presence at countless car cruises and community gatherings. His love of classic cars and music brought people together, creating memories and friendships that lasted a lifetime. Whether behind the microphone, sharing a favorite song, or admiring a beautifully restored automobile, Frank's enthusiasm was contagious.

Frank was also a gifted fixer of things. If something was broken, he could often find a way to make it work again. He approached life with kindness, a great sense of humor, ingenuity, and a willingness to help anyone in need. Friends and neighbors knew they could always count on him for a helping hand, a kind word, or a good story.

Perhaps Frank's greatest gift was his ability to connect with people. He never met a stranger and made friends wherever he went. His warm smile, generous spirit, and genuine interest in others touched countless lives. The many friendships he built over the years stand as a testament to the person he was.

A man of strong faith, Frank lived his beliefs through his actions. He found comfort and strength in his faith and shared that hope and compassion with everyone around him.

Frank was also a devoted pet dad to his beloved companions, Gia Sephia and Jake, who brought him immeasurable joy, companionship, and unconditional love.

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, fellow car enthusiasts, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Though his voice has gone quiet and his favorite songs have faded into memory, the impact he made on those around him will continue to resonate for years to come.

Frank's life was a reminder that kindness matters, friendship is a gift, and faith can carry us through life's greatest challenges. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.

May he rest in peace.
