Logan Frye

Logan Alexander Frye, 15, entered into eternal rest at 3:51 p.m., Saturday, June 27, 2026, at St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, as a result of injuries sustained in an ATV accident.

He was born on February 25, 2011, in Norristown, Pennsylvania, and was the beloved son of Bradly and Lisa (Barth) Frye.

Though his years were far too few, Logan lived with a passion and determination that many never achieve in a lifetime. Fearless, ambitious and driven, he embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and determination. His family often described him as being "balls to the wall," a young man who believed in living life freely and to its fullest. Stubborn in the very best sense of the word, Logan refused to back down from a challenge and poured his whole heart into everything he set out to accomplish.

From the time he was just three years old, Logan developed a love for hunting alongside his Grandpa Wayne. He got his first deer that very first season and continued the tradition every year thereafter. He took great pride in processing each deer himself and making homemade jerky to share with those he loved. He was an avid fisherman, enjoyed squirrel hunting, target shooting and was exceptionally knowledgeable and responsible with firearms.

Adventure seemed to be part of who Logan was from the very beginning. His family often joked that he was born "brumming," simply waiting for his first ride. Whether he was riding four wheelers, mudding, playing paintball, working on cars and ATVs with his dad and brother, or competing on the AMA racing circuit during the 2026 season, Logan found freedom wherever there was an engine to start and a trail to explore. Racing was one of the greatest joys of his life, and the friendships he formed through his race team became an extension of his family.

Gifted with both his hands and his mind, Logan possessed skills well beyond his years. Home schooled throughout his education, he was an outstanding student who consistently earned A's while developing talents as a carpenter, mechanic and in plumbing and electrical work. His intelligence, intuition and work ethic impressed everyone who knew him, and he approached every new challenge with confidence and a willingness to learn. He dreamed of one day serving his country in the military and pursuing a career as an engineer, combining his love for America with his natural ability to build, create and solve problems.

While Logan's accomplishments were many, it was his character that left the deepest impression. There was hardly a stranger who met him without commenting on his respectfulness, manners and strong morals. He held doors open without being asked, eagerly offered a helping hand and genuinely cared for those around him. He possessed a kind heart that quietly touched countless lives.

Of all the roles he treasured, none meant more than being a son and a brother. Logan was his father's best friend and right hand man. Rarely was there a day when the two were apart, working side by side, hunting, fixing things or simply spending time together. To his mother, he was always her "Bubbie," her baby boy who never outgrew a hug or a cuddle, no matter how old he became.

Each of his siblings shared a unique and treasured bond with him. He admired and looked up to his older brother, Ethan, enjoyed a lifelong connection with his sister, Alivia, and could always count on the guidance and love of his oldest sister, Abigail. His relationship with his youngest sister, Juliana, was especially precious. Logan was her protector, her guide and her best friend, while she remained the apple of his eye.

Though his life was tragically cut short, Logan's impact was immeasurable. He lived boldly, loved deeply and left behind memories that will forever be treasured by those fortunate enough to have known him. His family takes comfort in knowing that while they will never know the remarkable man he would have become, they were blessed to witness the extraordinary young man he already was. He was, and always will be, something truly wonderful.

He is survived by his loving parents, Bradly and Lisa Frye; his siblings, Abigail Frye, Alivia Frye, Ethan Frye and Juliana Frye; his paternal grandparents, Wayne and Diane Frye; his maternal grandfather, Fred Barth; his nephews, Theodore Frye and Malachi Frye; his loving godparents, Chris Bath and Franny Wood; and by many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and his AMA race team, all of whom will forever cherish the memories they shared with him.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Joan Barth; his great grandparents, Shirley and Melvin Phelps, Bob and Beth Frye, Dorothy and Alfred Werdan, Sr., and John and Ann Barth; as well as several aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and extended family members.

Visitation will be held from 2 p.m. until time of Funeral Services at 6 p.m., Friday, July 3, 2026 at Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville. 

Memorials may be given to the family, in care of the funeral home, to assist in the placement of a memorial plaque honoring Logan’s life. 

Logan's family will forever carry him in their hearts. Though his race on earth has ended far too soon, his adventurous spirit, generous heart and unwavering love will continue to inspire all who knew him. Forever their baby boy, forever fifteen, forever loved.
