Frank Aaron Venzor

Frank Aaron Venzor passed away peacefully in his sleep, in the early morning of May 2nd, 2024. He is survived by his wife Judy Venzor, his two sons, Wayne and Robert Venzor, his sibling, Rose (Larsen), and his many grandchildren, including Dallas (Broge), Brandon, and Adam; and great-grandchildren, Axel and Aria. He was preceded in death by his sister, Carrie (Ortiz) and his son, Ray.

Born February 13th, 1943, Frank graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1961, and went on to work as a Deputy Sheriff in the Los Angles Sheriff’s Department, where he was recognized for his excellence. Frank also worked in the Department of Water and Power. In 2008, Frank graduated from Bakersfield College with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, finally finishing his education after many years of hard work.

Frank was a family man first and foremost, and a gold standard to those who learned from his extensive life experience and knowledge. Frank was a patriarch and someone who always had a story to tell. Whether it was teaching his grandson to swing a baseball bat, like his cousin Ted Williams, or imparting life lessons on his family by using every bit of life experience he had, you better have been prepared to learn something if you had a conversation with Frank. His presence and expertise will be missed throughout the Venzor family, and throughout all those who knew him.

Service to be held on May 21, 2024 at 11am at the Carpinteria Cemetery
