The former frontman of Crazy Town died last Monday from an accidental overdose of prescription and street drugs. TMZ.

The Punky Brewster Alum and Binzer began dating in 2021 before splitting for good in late 2023, according to media reports. In a tribute to her ex, Frye praised him for accepting her and her children “so unconditionally.” The two were also childhood friends.

“My heart whispers ‘I love you’ a million times for the way you loved my children and me so unconditionally,” she wrote next to a carousel of pictures of their relationship on Instagram. “I can still see your smiling, sweet face when you kissed me in your tunnel of love in middle school, and how you swept me away again as we got older to show me what that timeless kind of love felt like.”

“No words could ever express the love we shared or how we feel right now. It’s a language all its own,” Frye continued in her tribute. “So now I’m going to use every bit of strength you showed me to hold on to the words you asked me in your beautiful, morning, raspy voice on the beach as you showered me with kisses.”

The Sabrina – Totally Bewitched! Star then quoted Binzer as saying: “The people we have lost, we will see again someday, won’t we?”

The actress replied, “I think we will, Seth. And when we do, the most charming, cool, tattooed angel in the mismatched shoes who taught me how to soak up life again will be standing there with the biggest smile.”

“I will immediately see your moon on your fire cheek as you welcome your family, friends, fans and loved ones under loving double rainbow arches…” she concluded her message and signed it with “I love you forever and always. Your Moonfire xx”

The pictures she shared spoke of great joy, with Binzer helping to put up the family Christmas tree and plenty of snaps of the couple hugging and smiling.

Frye’s tribute follows David Arquette He shared his own memories with his “brother” Seth. “He was such an incredible man with a huge heart,” Arquette wrote, among other things, and shared his own photos with the singer.

“We have been through many of the same struggles and I want his family to find love and healing during this painful time,” he continued. Both Arquette and Binzer have spoken openly about their personal experiences with addiction and sobriety. Binzer has been involved in reality shows Celebrity Rehab 1 And 2 And Sober House 1 And 2.

Arquette concluded his caption with the words “Champions never die, they just fight somewhere else. I love you, boy.” He also thanked Frye – who can be seen in most photos and videos – for providing the images.

According to Binzer’s manager Howie Hubberman, he wanted to get sober and change things, but “was never able to deal with his addictions on a more successful level,” per People“We all tried, but in the end we all failed, otherwise Shifty would still be here.”

His recent problems were even more serious than initially thought. Binzer’s friend and sober trainer Tim Ryan shared TMZ that he had been living in a tent in McArthur Park in downtown Los Angeles after a recent relapse.

After Ryan’s wife Jennifer Gimenez (Celebrity rehab) learned of Binzer’s living situation, Ryan said he planned to fly to LA to find him and get him back into treatment – but it was too late.
