Steve J. Franco

Steve J. Franco, 52 of Roseville, went home to be with the Lord on January 23, 2022 after a sudden illness. He was a fun loving man who loved life to its fullest and was a very significant person in my life for nineteen years and the love of my life. I will never forget his strong faith in Jesus Christ. He never met a stranger and always took the time to minister to others in need and share the Lord to make sure they were right with Jesus and to encourage others in the Christian Faith. They say life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get. He was definitely full of surprises and I loved every minute of being with him. Steve, I will miss you tremendously and I am heartbroken your journey has ended in this life.

Steve was born on December 8, 1969, in New Britain, Connecticut, son of the late Anthony Franco and Salvatrice Basile Franco. Steve worked in manufacturing for several years and he was the very best at his job. Steve was also a mechanic by trade and loved maintaining vehicles. He had a passion for cooking because of his mother. Steve’s life will live on this earth because of the many souls you won for the kingdom. Well done thou good and faithful servant.

He is survived by his wife and the love of his life, Valerie Franco; two sisters, Pina Franco and Grace Bianchi; brother, Tony Franco.

He is preceded in death by his parents.

Per his wishes, no calling hours or services will be held. Steve will be laid to rest in Rose Hill Cemetery of Roseville, Ohio.
