Ryan Scott Frye

Ryan Scott Frye 41, from Phoenix, Arizona, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, August 17, 2024, at his parent's home, in Lake City, Minnesota. He was born March 13th, 1983, in San Diego, California, to Lisa and Randy Frye.  He is survived by his siblings, Meghan and Clementine Frye; step-sisters, Sabina and (Brandon) Betthauser, Lindsey Blum, Nicki Hofschulte; nieces and nephews; his mother, Lisa Frye-Hofschulte; his step-father, Jeff Hofschulte;his three children, Jackson, Sophia and Olivia Frye; his nieces, Ella and Kamryn Frye-Hofschulte and his nephew, Ezekiel Frye. Ryan was a graduate from Lincoln High in 2001 and went on to pursue his love of music. Ryan was an artist, a poet, a versatile musician and a talented drummer. He was quick-witted and he was a charmer.  Ryan married Lindsay Deeson in 2012 (they later divorced). Together they share three children Jackson, Sophia and Olivia Frye--his children were his entire world. He was kind and gentle but he had hard painful edges. Despite it all, we loved him dearly. He overcame many struggles and maintained his lovable personality, continuing to bring light into any room he walked into.  Ryan was a treasured boy by his aunts and uncles Jennifer and David Martin, Michelle and Jeff Levitt, Cathleen and James Gates, Shari and Bill Gillette, Jeff Frye, Tim and Lyann Frye, Jay and Christy Frye, Pam Frye & (Mike) and many nieces and nephews. Ryan is preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents, his father Randy Frye, niece Hazel Grace Frye, cousin Taylor Frye and his uncles James Gates and David Martin. He may be gone from this world but he is thriving in the next. He lives on in all of our hearts, watching over us from above.  There will be a celebration of life held Sunday August 25, 2024 at the Frontenac Sportsmen Club at 1:00pm. All that loved and cherished him are welcome.
