Northbank Center

05/21/2026

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Ed Fryer, our beloved former maintenance technician at Northbank Center. Ed passed away this past Saturday.

For many years, Ed was an important part of the Northbank Center community and the University of Michigan–Flint campus. He was known not only for his hard work and dedication, but also for his kindness, dependability, and willingness to help anyone who needed it. Ed took tremendous pride in caring for the building and supporting the people who worked here, and his presence made a lasting impact on many of us.

Those who knew Ed will remember his warm personality, strong work ethic, humor, and the genuine care he showed to others every day. He will be deeply missed by colleagues, friends, and all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

Please keep Ed’s family and loved ones in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Funeral services will be held at Lawrence E. Moon Funeral Home in Flint on Wednesday, May 27th at 2:00 p.m.

HOME
A U-M Flint Senior Exhibition by Catie Cunningham

🗓 Open May 8th – June 8th
Flint Artwalk Opening Reception: Friday, May 8th | 6–9 PM

“Home” explores the relationship between an individual and their environment, touching on how the people, places, and experiences build an individual’s identity. Through expressionist paintings, the show asks questions about what of our past we must carry with us and what’s better left behind. Using imagery from artist Catie Cunningham’s family archive, “Home” acts as a love letter and goodbye to her childhood as she prepares to move away from her hometown of Flint, Michigan.
