Ronald Fryczynski

Ron Fryczynski, 53 passed away in his home, November 22, 2019, surrounded by family, after a four-year battle with cancer.

Ron was a devoted husband and father. He enjoyed searching for Petoskey Stones and beach glass, and making jewelry out of copper found during his trips to the Upper Peninsula.

Ron is survived by his parents, Thomas and Patricia Fryczynski; wife, Minda Fryczynski; daughter, Bryana (Calvin) McLaughlin; and sister, Connie (Joseph) Barkley.

The following is a poem written by Ron, capturing his love and appreciation for his “Golden Angels”.

My Golden Angels

You have helped to slay my dragon

You’ve come to watch him fall

Making arrows out of chemicals

Expert killers at the call

You all must be angels

That fly on golden wings

I wish I could make this poem better

Damn, if I could only sing

I have an angel at home

She helps me 24/7

I hope and pray to God

We will be together in Heaven

The battle will be long

And I know it will be rough

But with the help of my Golden Angels

I know it will be enough

The dragon will be slayed

And sent straight to Hell

And when the battle is over

Just watch me ring that bell

-Ron Fryczynski

Although Ron never rang the bell, his Golden Angels helped give us four additional years of memories. During this time, he was able to walk his daughter, Bryana, down the isle to a wonderful man, he knows will cherish her forever.

The family wishes to thank Karmanos Cancer Institute at McLaren Northern Michigan. The positivity and smiling faces of the entire team gave Ron the strength to continue his fight, with his unwavering sense of humor.
