It's with the deepest regret that the Beachwood Fire Department announces the passing of Past-Fire Police Officer Frank Kanko. Frank joined the Fire Department in 1993 where he served alongside his son, Lt. David Kanko.

Frank was an active member of the Department and proudly served the residents of Beachwood until 2005. Afterwards, Frank remained active in our Company’s Exempt Association until 2014. Frank was also a fixture at all of our fundraising events, especially our Santa and Easter Breakfasts where our guests were always greeted by his warm smile.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Kanko family. Rest easy brother, we got it from here.
