Frank Victorio Javinett Jr. entered eternal life on May 28, 2026, having been called home to spend eternity with the Lord and with the loved ones who preceded him in death.
Born on July 14, 1940, in Poughkeepsie NY. Frank was the son of the late Frank and Beatrice Javinett. While serving in the United States Marine Corps, he met and married the love of his life, Olivia Coleman Javinett, in Baltimore, Maryland. Together, they shared more than 64 years of devoted marriage, grounded in faith, family, and enduring love.
Frank was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Olivia, and his sister, Elaine Curtin. He is survived by his brothers, Leonard and Robert; his sons, Victor, Stephen, and Vincent; his daughter in-laws, four granddaughters, two grandsons, and three great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and cherished friends.
Frank lived a full and active life distinguished by hard work, steadfast faith, and a lifelong passion for automobiles and racing. He owned and operated an automotive speed shop, where he built and maintained race cars for customers throughout New York and Massachusetts. Following his retirement from Yellow Freight, he devoted his time to his family, enjoyed golfing, and found great pleasure in the beautiful beaches of Wilmington, North Carolina, where he and Olivia created many treasured memories during their retirement years.
Never one to remain idle, Frank later worked at the University of North Carolina, assisting in the training of students pursuing their CDL licenses. In his later years, he made his home in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Frank will be remembered for his unwavering faith, deep love for his family, adventurous spirit, and appreciation for life’s simple joys. He will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving him as he continues his eternal journey with the Lord.
