Beloved Son, Brother and Friend

Athanasios (Thanasi) Panagiotis Frentzos, age 31, passed away September 29, 2014 at his home in Minneapolis, MN.

Thanasi was born on March 8, 1983 in Delnor Hospital in St. Charles, IL and spent his early years growing up in Wheaton, IL. When he was 10 he moved to Stillwater, MN and lived there for a few years until his mom remarried and moved to Elk River, MN.

Thanasi had a wide variety of interests from astronomy and quantum physics to a deep love of music. He showed creative talent in sound mixing and was largely self-taught. He got a degree in audio production from the Institute of Production and Recording in Minneapolis and was studying physics and mathematics at Anoka Ramsey Community College in the Twin Cities aspiring to be a scientist on completion of his studies.
