Frank Robert Kmiec, Jr

PLEASE NOTE VISITATION WILL BE SUNDAY, JUNE 22 2025.

Frank Robert "Frank The Tank" Kmiec Jr., age 31, passed away on June 13, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois. Born on February 5, 1994, in the same city he called home throughout his life, Frank brought warmth and laughter to those around him with his generous spirit and vibrant personality.

A proud graduate of Perspectives Charter School, Frank carried his strong work ethic into his professional life. He was a dedicated long-time employee at Orr & Orr Inc., where he built lasting relationships and earned the respect of colleagues through his commitment and reliability.

Above all else, Frank was a devoted father to his beloved son Jeremiah. His love for Jeremiah was unwavering and evident in every aspect of his life. Together with Chelesi Sanders, Frank embraced fatherhood with pride and joy, creating cherished memories that will live on in Jeremiah’s heart.

Frank was the cherished son of Cynthia Daraska (Mike) and Frank Kmiec Sr. (Deanne), and a beloved brother to Jacob, Kayla, Sarah, Kyle, Jennifer, and Adam. He was the treasured grandson of Sherry Kmiec and the late Eugene Kmiec, as well as the late Michael and Katherine Barker. He held a special place in the hearts of many aunts, uncles, cousins—and was honored to be considered a bonus nephew and cousin by the Rolland family.

Frank had a deep passion for Chicago sports—especially the Blackhawks and White Sox—and could often be found cheering them on with enthusiasm. He also enjoyed collecting and playing “Magic: The Gathering” cards, a hobby that brought him great joy and connected him with friends who shared his interests. Whether spending time with family or enjoying game nights with friends, Frank’s presence lit up every room he entered.

Those who knew Frank remember him as a kind-hearted soul whose love for others knew no bounds. His legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched with his compassion and love.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire love and kindness in all who carry him in their hearts. A Wake will be held on June 22, 2025, from 03:00 PM to 08:00 PM at Pomierski Funeral Home 1059 W 32nd st Chicago, IL 60608
