Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bordentown Home for Funerals on Sep. 22, 2025.
Lucas Edward Fryc, age 20, of
Bordentown, NJ, was born on April 24, 2005.
Born in Bordentown, Lucas graduated from Bordentown Regional High School in 2023, where he was a four-year varsity soccer player and clarinetist in the school band. He was a two-time First Team BCSL All-Patriot League selection, named BCSL Patriot League Defender of the Year, and earned Second Team All-State South honors. He played in the South Jersey Soccer Coaches Senior All-Star Game and competed at the club level with MatchFit Academy.
Lucas was attending Rowan University, majoring in chemistry, and had a deep passion for science. He loved working in the lab and talking chemistry with anyone who would listen. He was a dedicated student and leader, earning the 2025 RCSJ President's Award for Leadership and Service and the President's Award for Excellence in Chemistry. He captained the RCSJ Soccer Team in both 2023 and 2024, leading them to the NJCAA national finals in 2024.
Lucas lit up every room with his smile and always had a kind word for those around him. He loved surfing with his brother Ryan, fishing with his dad and Mary, and staying active through exercise, fitness, and sports. He was an accomplished athlete, a curious learner, and a generous soul who made others feel seen and valued.
He is survived by his loving parents, Edward Fryc and his partner Mary Tantillo, and Jenna Reichert Fryc; his brother, Ryan Fryc; and his grandparents, Irene Wojtczuk, Donna and John Winzinger, and Craig Reichert.
Lucas is also survived by his great-grandmother, Helen Steen; his aunts and uncles, Tom and Lori Fryc, John and Rachel Fryc, Jen and Shaun Cooney, and Brian and Anne Reichert; and his cousins, Meghan and Jeremy Eletto, Aleksander Fryc, Jacob Fryc, Olivia Fryc, Kevin Fryc, Declan Cooney, and John and Katie Reichert.
He will be deeply missed by many other cherished family members and close friends.
