Terry Frye

SGT. Terry Glen Howard Frye, 23, of Rossville, formerly of Frankfort, passed away Friday, November 14, 2025, in Boone County. He was born September 19, 2002, at St. Vincent Hospital in Frankfort to Jonathan Frye and Susan Stocker.

Terry was a graduate of Frankfort Senior High School in 2021. He was serving in the United States National Guard since March of 2020. He worked at Indian Motorcycle of Lafayette. He enjoyed spending time outdoors having target practice and shooting firearms with his uncle Ben and best friend Camden Cesare. He enjoyed playing video games with his son, and his true love was his family. He would often coordinate family game nights that would last all night and loved making memories around the dinner table having meals with them.

He believed in defending his country and his duty was to serve his country, community, friends and family, and joined the national guard to be able to protect his country at home. This was his heart’s purpose.

Along with his parents, Terry is survived by his son, Cassius Sylas Frye; fiancé, Leann Smith and her parents, James and Cassandra Cook; sisters, Emily (Timothy) Cothern, Lily Frye, and Ivy Frye; grandparents, Linda Frye and Alan David; Richard (Beverly) Stocker and Debra (Billy, Jr.) Woodcock; nieces, Isabella and Natalya; nephew, Alexander; uncles, Ben Stingley and Brian Glass; aunts, Juanita Moore and Karri Frye; and several cousins.

He was preceded in death by a grandfather, Terry Glen Frye.
