Franklin Joseph Palermo
Franklin Joseph Palermo, born on September 15, 1953, was a lifelong resident of League City, Texas. He built a life rooted in faith, family, and hard work. He passed away on December 21, 2025.
Frank was the son of Don and Catherine Palermo. Growing up on Daro Farms, he developed a love for farming. He particularly enjoyed cantaloupe and watermelon seasons, finding immense satisfaction in working the land. Each year, many looked forward to stopping along Highway 3 for the cantaloupes and watermelons he sold. This passion stayed a significant part of his life.
Frank graduated from Clear Creek High School, where he excelled as an athlete, playing both football and baseball. He later embarked on a successful 35-year career, as a supervisor with the BP Products refinery in Texas City, earning the respect of colleagues for his dedication and strong work ethic. Frank had a natural ability to connect with people and always found a way to bring laughter to those around him.
A man of strong faith, Frank was a devoted member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, attending weekly services. He also enjoyed fishing and golfing, and some of his most cherished memories were fishing with his son, from the waters of Galveston to later years at Canyon Lake.
Frank was the loving husband of Lois Palermo and a devoted father to his son, Scott Palermo (wife, Candice). He was also a proud grandfather to Caiden, Cailum, and Cillian. In addition to his immediate family, he is survived by his sister, Diane Palermo Mock, and his brother, Steven Palermo (wife, Lisa).
Frank will be remembered for his enduring faith, humor, and the deep commitment he showed to his family throughout his life.

Dear Palermo Family, Diane and Steven,
Our heartfelt condolences to you all. We send our prayers for the family during this difficult time.
Love, Linda Starr and Kimberly Dillard (Robinson, Augustine family)
We had a good time hanging around in high school and playing baseball in football and working plant too, so he was a kind person to me
Me and Melissa’s sincerest condolences to the entire family… Frank was a great friend for decades and my first boss at Amoco Oil when I went to work there in 1984. He was a groomsman in our wedding in 1994. We had many “great adventures” together through the years and I will miss him immensely. God Bless his Soul and comfort the entire family with his passing.
With Sincerest Condolences and Love,
Kevin and Melissa Muegge
I love Frank…shooting pool with him at the Corner pocket, playing baseball with him and always getting in his head about his girlfriends. It wasn’t till later years when we would reminise about the younger days. RIP my friend, see you later…hopefully much later.
I will miss Frank playing shuffleboard at the Dolphin! Hy heart goes out to Lois & their children!
Condolences to the Palermo family
I offer my condolences to the Palermo family. I worked with Frank for many years and there was never a dull moment around him. I always enjoyed our time together; he could always seem to find the “fun” side of every situation.
