Yes, David Fridley KG4FZR, was a professional tower climber who owned a
commercial tower company
headquartered in Athens,Tn. It is believed that David died of a heart attack
while descending the
access ladder on one of his towers. He fell about 20 feet.

Oops. It's come to my attention that someone might have thought I was
referring to David Fridley, who was killed in a (not stupid) tower accident in
Tennessee a couple of years ago in the below post. I was definitely NOT doing
that.
My comment "Hopefully not because the guy who ran it managed to get himself
killed in a stupid tower accident..." was pejorative to illustrate that anyone
dumb enough to be fresstanding Rohn 25 tower like that as a professional tower
installer is lucky to still be alive. It was NOT David Fridley!
