Tyler “Blake” Frye entered into eternal rest on Monday, March 5th, 2018 at his residence in Flower Mound, Texas.. Blake was born March 25th,1986 in Amarillo,Texas to Linda and Gerald Frye. He joined two older sisters, Tara and Jamie.
Blake was joyful, curious, and industrious as a baby, child, teenager and adult. He never met a stranger, possessing the gift of gab his Papa, T.E. Naylor predisposed him to have. He became a successful student, graduating in 2004 from Clarendon High School, earning a Bachelors of Science degree in Political Science from Texas Tech University and then a Masters of Business. Upon graduation he joined the U.S. Army through the ROTC Program. He received an Honorable discharge from the military and entered into the business of wind and solar energy beginning in 2008-2010. He became a trusted developer in his chosen field while learning and performing all aspects of this exciting and challenging job. We used to marvel at his ability to maintain the rigors of three to four companies while building his own company. He attempted to bring this innovative source of power to Donley County, but did not have the required amount of landowners to approve the project on their ranch or farmland. He was disappointed yet he pushed forward with a project in Kansas, known as the Bloom Project. He was so proud when the grand opening became a reality in August of 2017 attended by the Kansas Lt. Governor and 4 State Representatives. They were proud of the Texas Panhandle “Kid”, they called him, who brought their community such an important economic project. At the time of his death, Blake was working in multiple states to bring more successful wind and solar projects to various communities.
By far the most important part of Blake’s life was his family. His lovely soulmate, Lauren, his beautiful 10 year old daughter, Natalie and the latest addition to his family, a handsome little son they named Jett who will be a year old 3 days before his dad’s birthday.
Blake is survived by Lauren, Natalie and Jett of the home, his mother, Linda Naylor Lewis and his stepdad, Jerry of Pampa, his sister, Tara Jackson and husband Steve of Ft Worth, his nephew, Ryan whom he called brother and wife Amy of Sunnyvale, Texas. Two nieces Madison and Ava Jackson and a great niece, Sadie. His Mimie, Faye Naylor and step grandmother Joyce Holley of Boerne, Texas. Numerous cousins, aunts and uncles and family he dearly loved.
Blake was preceded in death by his dad, Gerry Frye, his sister Jamie just 9 months ago, his Papa, T.E.Naylor, grandparents Babe and Gene Frye, and his Uncle Tex Naylor.
