Frank Werle

With heavy hearts, our family shares that Francis Michael Werle, known affectionately as Frank to his friends and loved ones, passed away on November 22, 2025. He was a loving and proud father, grandfather, and brother who filled our lives with love, laughter, and countless memories.

Frank was born in Washington, DC on October 17, 1957 to George and Roberta Werle. He is survived by brothers and sisters Steve Werle (Lynn), Sue Falls (Cy), Kathy Mellott (Michael), Karen Berger (Ed), Jodi Sawyer (Walt), Tom Werle (Paola) and Rebecca Beruete (Brian). His siblings shared a close bond, spending holidays and summer vacations together. Frank enjoyed a successful career in sales, where his outgoing nature and easy conversation could brighten anyone’s day. He spent decades forming connections and taking pride in a career that allowed him to meet people from all walks of life.

Frank’s family was the center of his universe. He is survived by his five daughters Lisa Klein, Jessica Gray Neal (Justin), Kristy Gast (Gregg), Chelsea Donaldson (Cullen), and Cassidy Werle (Larry). He was also a proud grandfather to eight grandchildren. He loved nothing more than a day at the beach, good music, and a Redskins win. He will be remembered for his fun-loving spirit, his humor, and his deep love for the people he cared about. His joy was a gift we will carry with us always.
