December 4, 1961 - October 24, 2020
Tulsa businessman and Burlington native Blayne Robert Frieden, 58, died Oct. 24. A devoted father, Blayne enjoyed his family, socializing with his wide circle of friends, and building new businesses.
He was instrumental in helping launch one of Tulsa's most popular restaurants, Amelia's Wood-Fired Cuisine. Over the years, he owned and worked for companies engaged in personnel services, marketing, commercial real estate and trucking.
In the early 2000s, he was a co-owner of Personnel Consultants, a professional staffing and placement company that earned recognition by Inc. Magazine as one of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. He also served as a marketing consultant to country music duo Brooks & Dunn in the 1990s.
Blayne was involved in the Tulsa community, co-sponsoring an annual charity golf tournament among friends and coaching daughter Halle's basketball team when she was in elementary school.
A graduate of Oklahoma State University, Blayne was born Dec. 4, 1961, to Robert and Patricia Frieden in Kiowa, Kansas. He attended Burlington High School and was on the basketball team. He never tired of visiting his hometown and was thrilled when daughter Anna produced a documentary about the town, "Burlington," which won a Tulsa Film Festival award in the student category.
He is survived by his daughters, Anna Frieden and Halle Frieden of Tulsa; his life partner Amelia Eesley; sisters Gina Frieden of Nashville and Kit Frieden Shook of Houston; former wife, Stacey Chapman Frieden of Tulsa; niece Beth Shook of Mexico City; uncle Mike Cook of Alva and aunts Peggy Colson of Burlington and Delora Bixler of Alva.
Funeral is set for 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, at PostOak Lodge in Tulsa. Burial is planned for Nov. 1 at the Apostolic Cemetery in Burlington. Condolences may be shared with the family through Ninde Funeral Home at https://ninde.com. The family requests that any memorials be made to the Oklahoma State University Foundation, OSUgiving.com, or Tulsa Boys' Home.
