Don and I went to school together and remained friends all these years. In our younger
years we spent many Saturdays playing 42.
He had a big heart and would help anybody in need. Even though we only visited
each other every so often, I will miss a trusted friend.
Mr. Frey was my friend …..miss you bro…..
Don was one of the sweetest men I have ever met.

Don and I go back a few years. When I met him I knew immediately that he was one of a kind. We shared many, many laughs together. I will never forget the joke that Frey and Bryant pulled on me one night. Greatest practical joke of all time. I can still hear both of them laughing when they finally told me the truth! Rest in peace my friend.

I have known Don for many years. He had a kind heart and a gentle soul. RIP Don Frey. Norman and Jennifer I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family.
Don’s legacy is larger than life. His willingness to help others truly made him a very special person. He enjoyed running the Brazos river in an airboat and baptizing asphalt on an a hog. He had the ability to operate a dozer and shape river front property to look like a park while always keeping family and friends close. Don – you will missed by all…..
