It is with deeply saddened hearts that the family of Frank Manuel Chaves announces his passing on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at Bluewater Health, with loving family by his side. Beloved husband of Helen Chaves (nee Finkbeiner). Loving step-father of Travis Hicks and Dayna (Jason) Pedro. Cherished grandfather of Nova. Treasured son of Maria and the late Eduino Chaves. Will be missed by his fur-baby Yogi. Frank enjoyed life, loved to have fun and joke around – he was known for being quite the character. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends. 

A funeral service will be held at Smith Funeral Home, 1576 London Line, Sarnia, on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with family and friends being received one hour prior. Entombment will follow in Resurrection Cemetery.

Sympathy may be expressed through donations to Bluewater Health Palliative Care (cheques only at the funeral home please).
