Obituary of Patrick Frey

Richard PATRICK FREY, 68, passed on on May 13, 2021.  A native Tucsonan, he is survived by his childhood sweetheart and forever love; Katie Manciet,  daughter Stacy (Patrick) Finch, granddaughter Zoe Finch, brother David Begeman and sister Doris Bradshaw.   He was an incredibly unique person that affected so many people in so many ways.  Pat was a favorite brother-in-law and uncle, a caring neighbor and friend, and a role model to many. He was smart, talented, irreverent, funny, caring, compassionate, and kind beyond measure.  The majority of his work life was spent as a manager for Safeway Stores, Inc.  Following retirement, he spent numerous hours creating a garden paradise at his home. His passing left this world a little darker but the stars much brighter.  A memorial mass will be held on Wednesday, June 2 at 11 am at Santa Cruz Catholic Church, 1220 S 6th Ave, Tucson, AZ.  In lieu of flowers, the family suggests the planting of flowers, a tree, or a plant in his memory.
