Frank Hoyos Sr., 64, of Prescott Valley, Arizona, passed away Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2014, doing what he loved - helping his family and friends.

Francisco Jose Arvayo Hoyos was born Feb. 23, 1950, to Jose and Angela Hoyos in Cumpas, Sonora, Mexico. After graduating from high school and attending college in Mexico, Frank immigrated to America in the early 1970s.

He also is survived by his sister Mavy Hoyos. His parents, stepdaughter Cheryl and grandson Tony preceded him in death.

Frank was a long-haul tanker truck driver for Highway Transport of Knoxville, Tennessee, retiring in 1995. He and Teresa have lived in Prescott Valley since 1997. In retirement, he helped his family and friends repairing their vehicles and by counseling and translating for people going through the process of becoming American citizens. He also was a notary.

Frank was everything to his family and friends and was always one of the first people to greet new residents of his neighborhood.

A celebration of Frank's life and Rosary will be at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2014, at Sunrise Funeral Home on Highway 69 in Prescott Valley with internment at Heritage Park Cemetery in Dewey.
