Jacob Frederick Frady

He was born and raised in New Orleans, and is survived by his daughter, Lucie Breaux, the light of his life, and his parents, Paula Sheinberg and Philip Frady. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Ethel and Michael Frady of New Orleans and Shirley and Frederick Sheinberg of New York City.

Jacob graduated from De La Salle High School as a National Merit Semi-Finalist, and then received his BA degree from Loyola University New Orleans as an English literature major who read voraciously throughout his life. He also enjoyed and excelled in science and technology, and after graduating, he worked as a computer support technician. He excelled in the technical aspects of the work, but also equally enjoyed helping people by explaining and teaching them how to deal with their tech issues.

Jacob was also very talented in both his artistic and writing abilities. He enjoyed video gaming and comedy shows, and was quirky as reflected in the items he chose to collect, which included comic book character action figures, and gadgets including pocket knives, flashlights, and laser pointers. His musical taste ranged from rock to rapper Aesop Rock. Jacob was exceptionally warm, thoughtful and caring, always going out of his way to help others. He was extremely intelligent and inquisitive, with a sardonic wit and sense of humor. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
