Jason David Fry of Silverdale died on Cathedral Peak in South Africa on Oct. 9, 2006, after he slipped and fell 80 feet down a cliff while on a hiking trip. The 20-year- old was serving on a mission for the Church of Latter-day Saints in Ladysmith, South Africa, where he volunteered much of his time in local orphanages. He was spending an off-day on the mountain with a group of missionaries who decided to have a picnic.

Mr. Fry was an Eagle Scout, loved playing soccer and had a passion for computers. He did an internship at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and prior to leaving for his two-year mission in May 2006, attended Brigham Young University-Idaho.

Mr. Fry is survived by his parents of the family home in Silverdale; sister Julie Fry of Chicago; brothers Robert, Brandon and Ryan, all of Silverdale; and grandparents Donald and Shirley Fry of Bremerton and Richard and Maria Postle of Newbury Park, Calif.
