Steven Dwight Fry

05-03-1955 to 01-16-2020

On January 16th our beloved Husband, Father and Grandfather left us unexpectedly in the early hours of the morning. Born in Yuba City, California in 1955 he spent his early childhood and high school years working in the walnut orchards and playing sports. Following High School Steve joined the United States Navy where he proudly served his Country. Steve met Mary Jane on May 17th, 1978 in Marysville, California and they were married on May 12, 1979 in Modesto, California. Soon after they moved to Quincy, California where they started building their life, had their 3 daughters and their Business Sierra Technical Services. In 1995 they made their move to Reno where they found what would be their permanent home. Steve worked at Washoe Medical Center for a few years before he transitioned to The Board of Regents at the University of Nevada where he worked for the last 20 years. Steve loved Pyramid Lake, barbecuing, and deep sea fishing with his brother Randy and nephew Timothy. Above all else he lived for and loved his family more than life.

Steven is preceded in death by his father Elroy Fry and mother Bertie Fry Penn. Survived by the love of his life, his wife Mary Jane, daughters Aimee Horsey (Chas), Kira Mulloy (Christopher), Elysia Jones (Nicholas), as well as his four grandchildren Lily, Charles, Lauren and Hayden.

What can I say. I got call last evening from Mary Jane. I was shocked. I always called Steve once a month as I live in PA.
met him in 1975 as I played Softball and he was was in the stands. So we would go out with team in Yuba City Shakies Pizza. Remember them?? Then he would invite a few of us to parents home. Never seen a place like that as I grew up poor. But his Father and Mother Elroy and Bertie were the perfect hosts. Bertie always made food for us and Elroy was the host.

Then I moved to Seattle in Dec. 1980 and Steve and Mary Jane to visit with Aimie. In a stroller. tells you how young she was.

Later on Steve call me. Hey Ron. Mary Jane and I going to Modesto, Cal. to visit her parents. Can you come and babysit. he knew I had a job I could do that. I said?? Why not. They lived in Quincy at that time in the Sierras. So I went. I had Elisa , Kira, and Amie. 8, 10, 12. I took them to school every day and picked them up and made meals, watch TV. But always read bedtime stories to Elishia. She was my Fav.

But I visit again in Reno when they move. Mary Jane was a Banker all of her life. Wells Fargo. BBQ??? You go to Steve fry home?? You are having BBQ.

I have met many folks in my life, but Steve is something to behold if you ever met him. He like to fish, and it was so cool the last two years he made a point of fishing. Go to San Diego, take his brothers out in SF Bay. He had a beautiful life the last two years, and he had a Beautiful life all these years.

Thank you Steve Fry, Mary Jane, Elyishia, Kira, Aimie. For being in my Life. I could never ask for a better Family.

I am crying writing this. Thank you for your Life.

Dear Steve,

Thank you for all of the brotherly advise over the years. Thanks for not beating me up when I stole your GTO Judge in High School and took it for a joy ride. Thank you for your beautiful wife, your beautiful daughters and your grandchildren. I will do my best to look after all of them. I truly loved our time together as a family and out on the long range fishing trips in Mexico. Crabbing and fishing off the Marin County Coast and just hanging out. Rita and I loved you and we will miss you dearly.
