Frank Rayos

September 17, 1953 - October 13, 2020

Frank Sanchez Rayos was 67 years old when he passed away in Shelby Township, Michigan on October 13, 2020. He was born in Pangasinan, Philippines to Federico and Consolacion Rayos. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather (Laki), brother, uncle, and friend to many whom he often greeted with a warm and welcoming smile. He is survived by his wife Teodora, his daughters Maribel (Andrew) Veridiano and Maureen, granddaughters Marielle Grace and Julianna Marie, and sister Magdalena (Graciano) Sison. Frank worked at the Detroit Athletic Club for over 12 years where his coworkers became some of his closest friends. He was an avid tennis player who played at Wimbledon Racquet Club in St. Clair Shores. He was very skilled in the sport and won several tournaments and leagues during his most active years. His love for the sport was shared with his family as special bonds formed because he was the best coach, cheerleader, and doubles partner to his daughters. He never failed to show his pride and support for the dance community as he became a known “dance-dad” among the “dance-moms.” Frank was a devout Catholic whose faith only grew stronger with age. He was active in the Filipino community, a member of several prayer groups and a parishioner of St. Michael Catholic Community in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Frank lived to serve God, his family and friends. Though he is no longer here with us, his laughter and smile resonates in our hearts.
