Frank J. Simonic, III

Frank J. Simonic, III, affectionately known as Fudge by his loved ones, passed away peacefully of natural causes on November 17, 2024. Fudge was born on May 1, 1968, in San Diego, CA, where his father was stationed in the U.S. Navy. He passed away in San Francisco, CA, his adopted home for the last 25 years.

Fudge was a 1986 graduate of Bishop McDevitt High School, where he was a standout soccer player and record-setting kicker for the football team.
