Chad Allyn Frary

38, of Gold Canyon, Arizona, died December 15, 2015, doing what he loved, being a flight nurse on Native Air 5, a helicopter air ambulance. For unknown reasons Chad’s aircraft crashed in the Superstition Mountain range killing Chad, the pilot and seriously injuring a flight paramedic. Chad was born October 10, 1977, in Portland, Oregon, to Lark and Steven Frary. He was a fun loving and caring young man. After graduating high school, Chad enlisted in the military and served his country proudly and honorably as a United States Marine. After being discharged from the military, Chad moved to Reno, Nevada, where he met his wife Linda McDonald. They were married in 2002, and eventually moved to Gold Canyon, Arizona, to care for Chad’s ailing father. In December of 2008, Chad and Linda were blessed with the birth of their daughter, Sydney. Sydney was the light of Chad’s life. Chad loved to hunt, camp, and enjoy the outdoors of Arizona with his family and friends.
