Frank Charles Robert Viera, 43, of Acushnet passed away unexpectedly at home Saturday, December 27, 2025. He was the beloved son of Frank C. and Mary Ellen (Coutinho) Viera.

Frank was a self-employed small engine mechanic and owned Frank's Small Engine Repair. He was a lifelong resident of Acushnet and a 2000 graduate with Honors from the Agricultural Mechanics program at Bristol County Agricultural High School. He enjoyed working on diesel engines, chainsaws, really, anything with a motor. In recent year's he got into cooking, planning, purchasing and executing day-to-day meals especially using his new smoker and grill to cook. The most recent hobby is fish tanks. Frank loved animals, his dog Koco would go everywhere with him. He had the most generous and kind heart; that is how he ended up with more cats than he really wanted. He never complained and loved each one. He adopted a stray that wandered onto the property; she had babies and kept one. One day he heard meows from the stonewall across the street and rescued four kittens, got three adopted out and one ended up coming back. The only one left now is Little Buddy and she was his little buddy!

Frank also had a quiet compassion for people; if he had not heard from an elderly customer in a while he would call and check on them. He would call his grandmother and ask if she wanted a pizza and would go by and share a pizza with her.

Frank is survived by his loving parents; his sister, Ruby Jean Nadeau and her husband Justin of Dartmouth and their children, Syrina and Madisyn; his paternal grandmother, Joanne Viera of Acushnet; his aunts and uncles, Steven and Cheryl Viera of Acushnet, Glen and Joanne Viera of Wareham, and Susan Donaldson of NV and several cousins. He was the nephew of the late Patrick A. and Tina L. (DeCotis) Viera.

Frank never liked being the center of attention. In lieu of being buried in the back yard with all his animals, a private family service will be held. We encourage you to honor Frank's memory in your own way, share a story, plant a tree, donate to an animal organization or just take a moment and quietly reflect. Arrangements are by the Fairhaven Funeral Home, 117 Main St., Fairhaven. For memorial register please visit, www.hathawayfunerals.com.
