Keith M.W. Frye, age 60, of Browns Mills, NJ, passed away on Friday, March 10, 2023, with his beloved wife by his side.
Keith was born in Hoboken, NJ to Elizabeth Lutschewitz and the late Maurice Frey. He was a wonderful and fun-loving man and worked as a children’s magician for many years. He was a devoted member of The Loyal Orange Institution, The Society of American Magicians, and The English Civil War Society of America - where he was a founding member.
In his free time, Keith enjoyed reenacting multiple time periods (Tudor, English Civil War, and most recently, French landsknecht mercenaries), roleplay and miniature gaming, and crafting military and science fiction dioramas. Traveller, a long-running science fiction game, was one of his favorites from childhood. Keith was the founder of the Travellercon/USA convention, which just celebrated its 15th year in October 2022. Keith loved the stage and incorporated his theatrical-talent into his interactions with others, whether it was performing his magic shows, or just telling a good story to friends. He was a kind-hearted man who loved to laugh, joke, and spend time with those he loved. He will be sincerely missed by those who knew and loved him.
Keith is predeceased by his father, Maurice (Reece) Frey, and sister, Karen Frey Suplee. He is survived by his wife of 5 years, loved for 17 years, Megan Frye (nee McTernan); mother, Elizabeth (Betty) Frey; brothers, Christopher Frey (sister-in-law Beth) and Michael Frey; brother-in-law, Chris Suplee; and nephews, Dakota and Kayden Suplee.
