Frank Nicholas Patete

Frank Nicholas Patete passed away peacefully in the arms of his beloved wife on August 3rd, 2025, after bravely facing a prolonged and devastating illness. He was 59 years old.

Nicholas was born on June 16th, 1966, in Boulder, Colorado, to Frank Michael Patete and Mary Ann Lasalle.
