Deceased Name: Frank "Trey" Kopta
April 18, 1980 - Oct. 3, 2005 "When a loved one becomes a memory, a memory becomes a treasure. Treasure the memories." Frank "Trey" Kopta, 25, of Houston died October 3, 2005 at his residence. A native of Beaumont, he worked as an assistant accountant for Kelly Temps. Never one to accept the simplest answer and possessing a fierce spirit of independence, Frank made a point to learn and experience all he could. Stubborn and focused, sensitive and perceptive, he thrived in any environment by finding friends and a place to call his own wherever he traveled. High school showed him a penchant for music and theatre, the former placing him as a drum major his senior year. The latter landing him the lead senior production of Bye Bye Birdie. His head for numbers, along with a strong need for order, opened his eyes to the accounting degree he was working towards. A love for animals, from his earliest care of gerbils and guinea pigs, cats, and finally his loved terrier-mix Gretchen showed a soft side of Frank that was not always obvious despite his habit of wearing his emotions on his sleeve. The diversity and range of friends over the years show the varied nature of his personality as he grew from a shy, quiet child to a charismatic and energetic young adult. It should be said that with the short time allowed, he lived life to the fullest, and will always be dearly missed by those whose lives he touched. Frank is survived by his parents, Frank and Chris Kopta of Beaumont; sister, Margie Nichols and her husband Alan of Beaumont; brother, Michael Kopta of Beaumont; nephew, Jacob Nichols of Beaumont; niece, Ashlie Hendrix of Memphis, Tennessee; aunts and uncles, Roy DelaRosa and his wife Beth of Greenbay, Wisconsin, Loretta DelaRosa of Oneida, Wisconsin, Vincent DelaRosa of Oneida, Wisconsin, Mavis Dingsdale and her husband Dennis of Antioch, Illinois; and his beloved dog, Gretchen Kopta. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Frank S. Kopta,I and Maybel Kopta; grandmother, Shirley Hoover; great grandmother, Marge Lewan; uncle, Steven DelaRosa and his aunt Marion DelaRosa. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Broussard's, 1605 North Major Drive, Beaumont. Memorial contributions may be made to the Humane Society of Southeast Texas, P.O. Box 450528, Houston, Texas 77245-0528.
