It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Frank "Skaleti" Sanchez, who passed away on September 16, 2021. Born on June 6, 1971, Frank was known by many as Skaleti, but preferred to be called Frank. A beloved son, brother, father, and grandfather, he is survived by his mother, Pamela Soliven; step-father, Irenio Soliven; sister, Linda Baclig; brother, Kelly Santos; brother, Clint Soliven; step-son, John Jr. Salgado; step-daughter, Shawntanina Salgado; daughter, Valerie Angelina; son, Frank Tallow; son, Jesse Joseph; daughter, Dorothy Aurora-Alma-Rene; daughter, Alexis Elaine; grandson, Duke Cadena; grandson, Kino Malek; grandson, Kato Duarte; and grandson, King Duarte.; and grandson Jack (Vincent)

Frank was best known for his intelligence, love of martial arts, and passion for teaching kids. He was deeply committed to sharing the lessons he learned from the "Duragon Techniques" with others and held classes for anyone interested in learning martial arts. In the process of writing books to share his knowledge with his grandsons, Frank's dedication to his craft and desire to pass on his skills will create a lasting legacy.

Beyond his devotion to martial arts, Frank also loved singing and had videos on Starmaker, YouTube, and TikTok. His talent and enthusiasm for life will be greatly missed by all who knew him. As we remember Frank "Skaleti" Sanchez, we celebrate his contributions to martial arts, his love for his family, and the joy he brought to those around him.
