It is with profound sadness we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Carlo Fryer on May 10, 2021.
Carlo was born on November 6, 1989 and raised in Kamloops, BC where he attended AE Perry and NorKam Secondary. Carlo was kind, sweet, and friendly with a great sense of humor.
Carlo married his first love Kaylee in 2017, the couple had a beautiful daughter in 2019. Malea was his whole world and he loved her endlessly. Although the couple had separated, they were working hard on co-parenting.
Carlo’s love of sports was evident with his presence on the ballfields throughout Kamloops. Carlo began playing at a young age, playing hardball into his early teens where he switched over to play slo-pitch all over BC, Carlo played with Mayhem Fireballs, Rezmerized, and of course Bare Naked Base Runners.
Carlo was close with his siblings, bringing his best friend Nathan home to become his brother. He helped his siblings and many friends learning to play ball. He always made them laugh and watched them play whenever he could. He “beat them up” as often as possible, they all loved to play fight with him.Read More & Leave Condolences »
