Frank W. Urias aged 47, of Hastings, a Wayland High School graduate, died Wednesday Oct. 5.

Frank was above anything a devoted husband and father. Throughout his life, Frank has proved that “it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.” He lived very true to this motto, and for years and years overcame obstacles that doctors, teachers, and peers said he’d have. Frank had a knack for building things, many things, out of many tools and materials. He and his father together laid carpet for years, through this knowledge and more self-taught determination.

Frank would go on to become co-creator of Delias Mini Choppers where he’d build many custom mini choppers with his best friend and brother, Scott. Later on he’d go on to create “Timeless Treasures,” a restoration and fabrication shop. He gained a lot of city-wide attention with business owners and partnerships to help repair/furnish/or refurbish whatever they needed from collector signs, statues, clocks, furniture, and more.

He ran Timeless Treasures with his wife Paula, and two kids, Brittany and Tyler.

Frank is survived by his wife, Paula; daughter, Brittany; son, Tyler; mother, Sally; granddaughter, Pearl; sister, Naomi (Larry) Martin, Deborah (George) Nye, Laurie Rucker, Rhonda (Mike) NewCastle; Brothers, Matthew Urias (Laurie), Donald Urias, and Scott Waddell, many friends, cousins including 18 nephews and 14 nieces.

He was preceded in death by his father, Donald Urias.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 7, at Grace Lutheran Church, 150 – 50th St. SW.
