Frank Alan Preo

WATERVILLE – Frank passed away May 3, 2024, due to health complications and early onset dementia. He spent his childhood in Augusta, and attended Augusta schools. He was involved with sports and drumming, “The Sharpies,” and was gifted musically. He could play the drums, flute, guitar and piano.

Frank married his first wife Karen, had two children and raised them in Vassalboro. Karen died tragically in 1994 leaving Frank to raise them with the help of family. He took up gardening and cooking after Karen’s death and excelled at both.

Frank spent most of his career as a sales person and a reset specialist in the grocery field. He was always close to his children, but was especially close to his son Chad, who helped him tremendously in the last years of his life.

Frank was predeceased by his father Charles Preo; his mother, Lorette Lajoie and her husband Wilfred; his brothers-in-law, Bob Rancourt and Ronald Breton; and his first wife Karen Preo.

Frank is survived by his daughter Jaime Pooler, her husband Mark and their children, Bentley and Bianca; and his son Chad Preo. He is also survived by his older brother, Fred Preo and his wife Rachael, older sister, Charlene Breton, and many nieces and nephews. Lastly, Frank is survived by his ex-wife and longtime companion Jackie Preo.

If Frank’s children could give any words of advice after his death, it would be to always take care of your health and stay close to your families, so in the end they can advocate for you when you no longer can for yourself.

A burial service will be determined at a later date.
