A dedicated father, cherished friend, and spirited member of the community, Steven’s life was shaped by his unwavering love for others and his deep passion for his work and hobbies.

Steven was a graduate of Seymour High School and went on to attend Southern University in Evansville for a year of studies. Steven began his career in the restaurant industry. However, it was his true passion for lawn care that led him to found and operate his very own lawn care business. This enterprise allowed him to connect with people, flourish creatively, and cultivate an abiding appreciation for the beauty of nature.

His radiant personality shone brightly, and he was known to many as someone who loved people ardently and never met a stranger. He possessed an extraordinary intellect, often showcasing his talents by fixing just about anything that was broken, turning challenges into opportunities for creativity and problem-solving.

Above all else, Steven treasured his time spent with his son, Hunter. He enjoyed chaperoning Hunter’s school field trips and volunteering in Hunter’s classroom for different events. Making memories with Hunter was very important to Steven. He loved snow sledding and adventures at the amusement parks. The bond shared between them was a source of light and purpose throughout Steven’s life. Whether it was fishing, camping, archery, and cooking these moments lived in the heart of Steven, reflecting the essence of his adventurous spirit and commitment to nurturing their relationship.

Steven is survived his son; Hunter Frady, Mother; Margaret Reedy, father; Randy Frady, sister; Alison Nicole (Dave) Smith, along with nieces & nephews; Reese, Avery, & Jake Kaminski.

  5. Steven ,
    You are finally at rest & Pain FREE!. You have been through so much in your young years. Hunter knows you love him. Dance on the streets of gold. Find Eric, he’s probably fishing with his Gpa Bob. You need no prayers now. Rest with our Lord.

  6. Although I didn’t know Frady long he and hunter showed me an unparalleled kindness about two years ago when I was looking to move out of a living situation. He offered me a room and place in his home and was so understanding when I came and told him I was going to try living on my own. Between the jones and our shared love for cooking Frady really was a light to be around. I hope Hubter knows the type of legacy his dad left behind and prayers and love to his family in this time of grief.

  16. Although we haven’t seen eye to eye politically for a while, I’ve always admired your strength against all of the odds you faced. You loved life regardless of the hurdles you faced, and everytime you were dealt another blow you took them without falling. So your passing is still so shocking. My heart goes out to your son, I lost my dad around the same age. I hope he gets the care he needs to process this all right away, these things cause issues as adults.
