Michael Jeffrey Fry

Michael Jeffrey Fry, 22, passed away Thursday, March 31, 2016. He was born April 13, 1993 at Camp LeJeune Naval Hospital, CLNC to Jeff Fry and Christine Fry Moore.

Michael attended Lincoln High School and DMACC where he studied fire science. His greatest joy in life was spending time with his girls. He was social butterfly and was fun-loving and goofy. He wouldn’t hesitate to jump in and play hopscotch with Bella to make her smile. Michael was always there for a friend. He’d lend a helping hand working on cars or anything that needed to be fixed. He enjoyed fishing and loved the ocean. He missed the warm North Carolina climate, but even though he hated the cold Iowa winters, he still loved the way the Des Moines skyline looked at sunset from MacRae Park.

He is survived by his father, Jeff (Sue) Fry; mother, Christine Moore; sister, Heather (Chris) James; daughter, Isabella Fry; fiancée, Jackie Miller; nephews, Skylar and Connor James; step-sisters, Shannon Drennon and her daughter, Bernadette and Sam Mcleod; grandparents, Norman and Helen Fry, Robin and Judy Harris, and David Gates; great-grandmother, Rubye Mundell; and many aunts, uncles, and other extended family.

Michael was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Irene Bates, Jim and Karen Janssens, and Dayton and Louise Gates; and his cousins, Megan Gates and Devin Fry.

Services will be held on Sunday, April 3rd at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home, 5400 SW 9th Street, Des Moines, with visitation from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. and funeral service beginning at 3:00 p.m.
