Roman Reed Francis

The world lost a beautiful soul when little Roman Reed Francis, age 3, was taken from us far too soon. Though his time here was brief, his laughter and bright spirit left a mark on everyone lucky enough to know him, and he will be deeply missed as those who love him navigate this unimaginable tragedy.

Roman was born on October 5, 2023, in Catawba County to Cloe Cuellar and Reginald “Reggie” Francis. Roman was a beacon of pure light whose presence turned the simplest moments into cherished memories for everyone who met him. The sheer number of lives he touched is a testament to the beautiful, vibrant soul he was.

Those left to cherish his memory are his mommy and daddy, Cloe Cuellar and Reggie Francis; his brother, Hakeem Francis; and his grandparents, Kimberly Snipes and Leah Grigsby; and too many more friends, family and those who loved him to even begin to mention.

While the hearts of his family are currently shattered by this profound loss, they find comfort in knowing that the love that Roman inspired is vast, reaching far beyond what words could ever fully capture.

A private service will be held to honor Roman’s memory, as the family requests space to grieve this heartbreaking loss in peace. The family deeply appreciates your continued prayers and support as they navigate this incredibly difficult time.

Mackie Funeral Service & Cremations of Granite Falls is serving the family.
