DANVERS – Francis Augustine Missett of Danvers, beloved husband of Veronica (Quinn) Missett, passed away on January 8, 2026, at Beverly Hospital. Born in Lawrence, he was the son of the late Francis and Ruth (Dwan) Missett.

Francis was primarily raised and educated in Beverly, he attended St. Peter’s Boys High School in Gloucester until its closure and then went on to attend and graduate from Beverly High School. After graduating he proudly served in the United States Army. He later attended Boston University, where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science. He took great pride in his work as a Senior Security Consultant and at home being a handyman. He always had a project to work on that brought him fulfillment whether it was repairing cars, woodworking, or installing windows and fences.

As a dedicated sports fan, some of his happiest memories were made on local fields. He loved coaching and cheering on his children’s teams, James in little league baseball and Ruthie on the soccer fields. Francis found joy in watching sports and sharing it with others.
