Frankie was born April 17, 1993 in Deming, New Mexico to Leo Jesus Montoya and Nancy Dominguez. Frankie was a very loving, caring, genuine, unique, mentor, hardworking, leader and intelligent induvial. Those are a few of the characteristics that explain the type of man Frankie was. He could make friends very easily anywhere he went, with such a contagious and loving smile, leaving memories everywhere he went.

Frankie was a die-hard 49ers fan and supported his love for his team no matter what. Frankie enjoyed helping and working with his grandpa any chance he got. But what Frankie loved most in his life was his family, especially his kids and his brothers. They meant the world to him.
