Gary P. Frizzell, age 73, of Plymouth, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, surrounded by his loving family. He was the devoted husband of Christine (Rapose) Frizzell and the son of the late Harold and Barbara (Garside) Frizzell Jr.
Born on July 2, 1953, in Valdosta, Georgia, Gary was an “Air Force brat,” growing up in communities throughout the United States as his family followed his father’s Air Force career. Though he called many places home throughout his childhood, Plymouth, Massachusetts, held a special place in his heart. It was the community he ultimately made his own and where he spent much of his life.
Gary was a graduate of Plymouth-Carver High School and devoted his professional career to the Town of Plymouth Wastewater Treatment Plant. After an impressive 42 years of dedicated service, he retired as Superintendent, leaving behind a legacy of commitment to the town and the people he served.
Those who knew Gary will remember his easygoing nature, quick wit, generous heart, and adventurous spirit. He treasured camping trips with his family, traveling up and down the Eastern Seaboard and making memories wherever the road took them.
Gary found great joy in the simple pleasures of everyday life. He took tremendous pride in his flower gardens and lawn and loved spending time outdoors. He enjoyed playing bocce, joining a volleyball game, hosting cookouts, and gathering with family and friends for parties and celebrations. Wherever Gary was, there was usually laughter. His humor, generosity, and infectious personality had a way of bringing people together and making every gathering a little more memorable.
A lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, Gary was especially passionate about riding his Harley. He enjoyed participating in charity rides, including Big Nick’s Ride for the Fallen and Blackbeard’s Ride, combining his love of riding with his desire to support others and give back to the community.
Gary was a beloved member of the Plymouth Elks Club and the Seaside Club. He also shared his love of music with generations of family, friends, and neighbors. Affectionately known as “DJ Gary Frizz,” he provided the music and helped create the atmosphere for countless school events, parties, proms, weddings, and celebrations over the years. Music, laughter, and good company were never far away when Gary was around.
In addition to his beloved wife, Christine, Gary will be deeply missed by his daughters, Sarah Reizakis and her husband, Alex, of Plymouth, and Hayley Stevenson and her husband, Bill, of Plymouth. He was the cherished “Bumpa” to A.J., Lilly, Jacob, Maeve, and Rowan, his beloved grandchildren who brought him immeasurable joy, pride, and happiness.
He was the brother of Donna MacKenzie and her husband, Lawrence, of Plymouth; Lawrence Frizzell and his wife, Lorrie, of Plymouth; and Fred Frizzell and his wife, Hannah, of Kingston. He also leaves many loving nieces and nephews, as well as countless friends and extended family members who will miss him dearly.
Gary leaves behind a lasting legacy of love and laughter. He will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever loved by all who knew him.
