A funeral service will be held Wednesday, September 19 at 11 a.m. at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church in Mt. Jackson with the Reverend Matthew Diehl officiating. Interment will follow in the Estes Family Cemetery in Washington, Virginia.
Ike was born December 26, 1956 in New Market, Virginia to the late Berlin N. Frye and Dollie Dodson Frye.
He was a graduate of Stonewall Jackson High School, a member of Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, and worked at VDOT for 23 years. He was currently the Warrenton Headquarters Superintendent of Road Maintenance.
Ike married the love of his life, Robin Estes, November 3, 1979. After their marriage, Ike and Robin made their home on the Estes Family Farm in Washington, Virginia.
Ike and Robin were blessed with the addition of their son, Derick Judson "DJ" Frye, and blessed again when DJ married Ashley Foster.
Ike was happiest when he was with his family, who he loved with a steadfast devotion.
Whether Ike was out in the hayfield, or working with his VDOT crew, he took pride and made certain that the job was done right.
Ike spent many happy days out in the woods, hunting in the hills on the family farm, and he loved to fish as well. Ike will always be remembered as a loving husband, devoted father, his friendly nature, and his ability to make friends with anyone.
Ike was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, William Frye and Jackie Frye.
Surviving include his loving and devoted wife, Robin Estes Frye; one beloved son, Derick Judson "D.J." Frye and wife Ashley of Washington, Virginia; one sister, Margaret "Nook" Frye of New Market, Virginia; and two brothers, Tommy Frye and wife Jackie of McGaheysville, Virginia, and Charlie Frye and wife Barbara of Edinburg, Virginia.

Robin and family.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Ike last summer when he came to my facility for rehab after his terrible accident. He was one of kindness and most respectful people I have ever met here at Fauquier Rehab. I often thought about him and wondered how he was doing. He was always so pleasant and never complained about anything. Truly a wonderful remarkable person.
Your family are in my prayers. I feel honored to have met him and had the opportunity to get to have conversations with him.
