Frank Roman Escanuelas

UPLAND – Frank R. Escanuelas, 86, of Upland entered his eternal rest April 5, 2020, peacefully at home with his daughters at his side. He was born on April 30, 1933 in Ontario, California and lived in Upland all his life.

As a father and grandfather, he was loving and caring to his daughters…Diana, Marsha and Maryanne and to his grandson Alex who affectionately called his grandfather “Pop”. He was of the Catholic faith all his life and a parishioner of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Upland for many years.

He is preceded in death by his precious wife, Helen whom he loved and cared for so dearly in the 38 years of marriage they shared together and his son-in-law Gary Pedregon.

He is survived by his daughters, Diana Escanuelas-Pedregon, Marsha Escanuelas and Maryanne Escanuelas-Blassingham, son-in-law Christopher Blassingham, grandson Alex Pedregon and sister Dominga Ramirez.

Due to the current pandemic, there will be no viewing, rosary or funeral Mass. Private burial will take place at Bellevue Cemetery where Frank will be laid to rest next to his wife Helen. A “Celebration of Life” will be hosted by his daughters at a later time. As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be made and sent to:

“Almighty God, who commanded us to honour our Father and our Mother, make us to see them again in the joy of everlasting light. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and those of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.” Amen
