Kenneth J.

Frey

Kenneth Jerome Frey, 71, died Tuesday, October 11th 2016 at his home in St. Leon, Indiana. He was born in St. Leon on April 6, 1945 to parents Gerald and Alvina Frey, and married his wife, Beatrice, in January of 1970 at St. Louis Church in Batesville, Indiana. They have one daughter, Renea Frey (married to Robert Dorsey), and three grandchildren, Maitreya, Aeliana, and Branneth Frey-Dorsey. He is also survived by his sister Mary Frey and brother Thomas Frey (late Sylvia) and three nephews, Joe, Jim, and Patrick Frey.

Always a St. Leon native, Kenny lived his entire life on the Frey family farm where he designed and built a unique passive solar home in the woods on the property. He was an over-the-road truck driver for many years and traveled extensively throughout the continental United States, logging more than a million miles in his lifetime. Kenny loved old cars (Corvettes in particular), motorcycles, boats, Nascar races, staying up late watching TV (sometimes falling asleep there), working in his shop, driving his grandkids around on the golf cart (and letting them drive when grandma wasn't looking), and afternoon naps when it was too hot to work outside. His favorite foods were chili (he was a great cook!), brie cheese, braunschweiger, Spam, light beer, coffee, scrambled eggs with cheese, pizza, and anything with mushrooms and onions in it.

He will be greatly missed by his family and friends but we will remember him always.

A memorial celebration will be held at the St. Leon Legion Hall on Sunday, October 23rd from 3:00—7:00 pm.
