SHAWN ALLEN FRYAR


Memorial services celebrating the life of Shawn Allen Fryar, 33, were held on Friday, 
November 30, 2007, at Addison Funeral Home in Spring, Texas.
Pastor Tierce Green from Fellowship of The Woodlands and Mr. George Hood officiated.

Shawn passed away on November 26, 2007, as a result of a tragic fall from a ladder in 
Houston, Texas. He was born in Houston, Texas but by choice Shawn spent most of his 
childhood with his much loved grandparents, Al and Jean Tisdale in Teague and Sam and 
Hazel Perry in Groesbeck. After he started school, Shawn continued to spend almost 
every weekend and summer in Teague, rarely letting Granddad slip out of his sight. 
Shawn was a 1993 graduate of Nimitz High School in Houston, Texas. After graduation, 
he became involved in transitioning to adulthood in Houston, a somewhat painful process 
since Granddad and Mim wouldn’t cooperate and move to Houston.

Shawn knew how to live life to the fullest, without fear. He was loyal to his friends, 
patriotic, and proud of our country and state. Shawn frequently helped acquaintances with 
whatever they needed, regardless of the financial impact to him. Shawn loved his family 
with all his heart and would have given his life for them.

Shawn is survived by his wife Cynthia Fryar of Spring; his five year old daughter Rachel 
Fryar of Spring; his mother Kathy Fryar of Spring and father Leslie Fryar of Riesel; his 
grandparents Al Tisdale of Teague, Hazel Perry Clark and husband Mike of LaPorte; 
parents-in-law Albert and Cecile Fake of Houston; his sisters Angela Fogle and Kristi 
Fryar of Houston; brother-in-law Alan Fake and wife Kimberly of Porter; sister-in-law 
Cristi Fake of Houston; aunts Debbie Kilgore of Spring, Pam Barrow of Deer Park; uncle 
Gary Perry and wife Debbie of La Porte; great aunts Nell Winkler and husband Clayton 
of Killeen, Mary Clark of Dallas, Linda Huffman and husband James of Teague, Sue 
Nichols of Teague, Jennifer Parson and husband Bobby of Teague, great uncle John 
Nichols and wife Edna of Teague; numerous cousins, other relatives and special friends 
(some of whom are now “old men’ from Teague that he still carried in his heart from his 
days of growing up in Teague).

Shawn was preceded in death by his grandmother Jean Tisdale of Teague; his grandfather 
Sam Perry of La Porte; great grandmothers Mary Ann Tisdale and Mary Ellen Nichols of 
Teague and Dovie Stone of Deer Park; great grandfather Granville Tisdale of Streetman; 
great great grandmother Lillie Dove Miller of Teague.
