Larry Ken Frick's Obituary
Larry Ken Frick, 89, of Albemarle, passed away peacefully at his home on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.
Born January 2, 1937, in Stanly County, Larry was the son of the late George and Mary Frick. A devoted family man, he spent many years working at Alcoa, where he was known for his strong work ethic and dedication; rarely missing a day.
Larry was a proud veteran who served as a Military Police officer in the U.S. Army. He found happiness in life’s simple pleasures, especially fishing and spending time at the beach. A fan of all sports, he had a particular appreciation for the early days of NASCAR. Above all, Larry treasured the time he spent with his family, who meant everything to him.
He is survived by his children, Melanie Frick, Marsha Frick Dick, Lawrence Frick, Kenneth Frick, and Raymond Frick; stepchildren, Lesia Mayhew (Bobby) and Leslia Lee; grandchildren, Lauren Frick, Lydia Frick, Joseph Garcia (Stacy), Chase Calloway, Chandler Frick (Danielle), Chelsea Frick, and Chaeden Frick; step-grandchildren, Kolt Whitley (Anna), Tyler Mayhew (Ginny), Darea Mayhew, and Brad Mayhew (Anna); as well as six great-grandchildren and four step great-grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, Larry was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Bobbie Ann Lowder Lee Frick, in January 2026, and his brothers, Darrell and Bobby Frick.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to all his caregivers for the compassion and support shown to Larry during his final days.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
Memorials may be made to Tillery Compassionate Care, 960 N. First Street, Albemarle, NC 28001.
Larry will be remembered for his steady presence, his love for his family, and the quiet strength that defined his life.
