Ryan Frew Obituary
Ryan lived in Manchester, NH with his wife of thirteen years, Anastasia (Carson), and their three children, Quentin (10), Seamus (9) and Layla (2). He was an incredible dad. His proudest accomplishment and joy was the love of his wonderful wife and adoration of his three amazing children. Ryan had an infectious laugh and smile, a joyous larger than life personality and gave incredible bear hugs.
In addition to his wife and children, Ryan is survived by his parents, Joan and Jerry of Concord, NH; brothers Jason and his wife Elizabeth (Kaplan) Frew and their three children - Lauren, Eli and Carter of Reading MA; Adam and his wife Bethany (Pennacchio) Frew of Cranston RI; Anastasia's parents, Michael and Tamara Carson of Wylie, TX; her brother Christopher and his wife Anna (Larsen) and their son Aksel, stationed in Santiago Chile; many cousins, aunts, uncles and innumerable dear friends, he will be forever in our thoughts.
Since 2004, Ryan has worked at Tri-Town Ice Arena coaching Junior Hockey in the New Hampshire Junior Monarchs organization. Under Frew, the Jr. Monarchs won a USA Hockey Junior National Championship in 2012, and he was recognized that same season as Coach of the Year by Hockey Night in Boston. The Jr. Monarchs were USA Hockey national semi-finalists in 2008 and 2009, national runners - up in 2007 and 2011, winning the Empire League Playoff Championships in 2010 and 2012. Most recently his team captured the Eastern Hockey League Championship in 2016.
It is more than hockey however for Ryan. His teams have engaged annually in a variety of community service projects, and for the last five seasons have named honorary "Make-A-Wish" Captains to offer inspiration and perspective to the young men on his team before each home game. Other community service projects have included: "Cold Ice, warm feet"- collecting over 2500 pairs of socks for the needy and homeless veterans; annual "Pink In the Rink " fundraisers to support cancer research and survivors; Operation "Make Life Better" helping Senior Citizens and others who need an extra hand and many more. These efforts were acknowledged when Ryan was named to the New Hampshire Union Leaders "40 Under 40" Class of 2017, an award that since 2002, recognizes 40 recipients in NH annually under the age of 40 for contributions to their communities and their profession.
When asked three years ago in an interview by the NH Union Leader, why he liked his job, without hesitation Ryan stated" I love working with people...There is no greater reward than knowing that you have had an impact on someone's life journey.
We should all feel fortunate that we were able to spend what time we had with him as he is irreplaceable and the loss is immeasurable. Call a friend, share a laugh and most importantly tell those you love that you love them, that's what Ryan would want. There will be a celebration of Ryan's life at the Bedford Village Inn on October 14th. from 5-8pm. COVID-19 large gathering protocols will be enforced and masks are required. Come prepared to share stories, laughs and memories as we celebrate the joy that was Ryan's life.

Jerry,Joan and Frew family, Hoping it will help a little just to know how much others care and wishing there were some way to make things easier for all of you right now. We had a grandson play on the Monarch youth teams and Ryan was always a friendly face at the arena. In 2012 it was something that the Jr. Monarchs won the Nationals and Concord & Bow were state champs. Focus on the memories and know that the thoughts and prayers of others are with all of you.

Jerry and Joan and the Frew family,
Bob and I were so sad to hear that Ryan has passed. He was such a great person and such a great friend to Kaitlin and all his friends in High School and beyond. I ran into Ryan a few years back across the street at the Hooksett fields and true to the person that Ryan is ,he gave me a great big hug and that special smile and laugh. We had a great conversation and a hug goodbye. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. He will be missed by all.

Jerry and Joan and Ana and family. I am so sorry about this loss of a fine young man who was a mentor to many others. I had the pleasure of coaching him in college and he immediately made an impact on me and my coaching staff. He was always seeking to find ways to make certain plays better. I knew from the first year i coached him that he would have success as a coach if he pursued that career path. He certainly did that and more. It was my honor to have coached him and to have known him for the years he played in concord and for SNHU. I treasure those days. May God Bless you and keep Ryan coaching in heaven. Rene and Fayne Leclerc

Over 10 years ago I had the opportunity to coach against Ryan in the Empire League and the privilege to coach with him in some league events. We competed hard in the games but laughed even harder before and after them; it still makes me smile to this day remembering a car trip to Montreal we took as well as some of the time we spent during a USA Hockey meeting in Colorado. His players loved and learned from him and his fellow coaches respected him and knew any game against his team would be a tough one. My thoughts, and the thoughts from his many friends from the CT LaZers days, are with his wife and kids, his family, his friends and all in his extended hockey community.

To the Frew family I am so sorry to hear. It is a true tragedy. I played for Coach Frew for a couple of years and they were some of my best times playing. Not only was he a great hockey coach, he was a great teacher of life. I learned valuable life lessons and how to be a better person. I send love and my deepest condolences to the Frew family. May his memory always live on.

Ryan was a man of unique talents. I can't help but smile when I remember the infectious joy and humor he brought to everything. It has been many years since we were together, but I am reassured by the knowledge that he was able to share those gifts with many fortunate young men through his chosen profession. They will carry his legacy into the world. Our thoughts and sympathies are with you.

Kevin played with the Monarchs organization in 2014/15 and got to know Ryan by seeing him at the rink. He was "the face of the Monarchs" and over the years we have seen how respected he was in the hockey world. Most importantly, he made an impact on the lives of so many young men! May he rest in peace. We are sending our prayers to all of Coach Frew's friends and family.

During Ryan’s short lifetime he touched so many in a very positive way. He lived his life as one who had values set by his integrity.
I admired his friendly and professional manner, his passion and work ethic always driven to learn and excel while helping all those that he could .
As sad as his premature passing is , he leaves us with the thoughts that we knew a good man who will be long remembered .

Thank you coach Frew and your entire family in supporting you for what you created and believed in at the Monarchs organization! You set the tone, gave the boys like my son a marker to shoot for and pushed all your players to be the best they could be and were smart to set stretch goals for the young ones! Drew had goals to play for you! RIP Coach... Thank You, Dana Lemire and Family
