Steven Edward Frey, 61, of Mint Hill, died unexpectedly on June 21, 2020, while hiking at Triple Falls near Brevard, North Carolina. Steve was born on July 22, 1958, in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Ellwood and Eileen Dowey Frey. He grew up in Maryland and graduated from High Point High School in Beltsville, Maryland. He attended the University of Maryland and played collegiate football. He and his family then moved to Oviedo, Florida.

They moved to Mint Hill, NC, after his retirement where they have lived ever since. When not working, Steve enjoyed hiking, fishing, restoring and wrenching on old cars, antiquing, and visiting yard sales for those treasure finds. Most of all, Steve loved the time spent with people, especially his family.
