From his early days as an "Army Brat" to a devoted husband and father, Fred's zest for life left an indelible mark.

Music was his lifelong love, showcased through his extraordinary talent with various instruments. Golf held a special place, where he found solace and shared moments of camaraderie. Beyond these passions, Fred, a construction foreman for Bronco Homes, embraced life's challenges with a zest for excellence.

Devoted to his family, Fred's bond with his wife, Barbara, and children was unbreakable. He instilled values of hard work and perseverance, always present for life's important moments. Fred's vibrant spirit, infectious laughter, and love for storytelling will be deeply missed. He leaves behind a legacy, urging us to live life fully and pursue our dreams.

Fred is survived by his loving wife, children, bonus children, and grandchildren. A celebration of his life will be held on 1-21-2024 at Apache Creek Golf Course. In lieu of flowers, donations to Fore the Kids Arizona are welcomed. As we bid farewell, let's remember Fred with smiles, celebrating the incredible journey he embraced. Rest in eternal peace, Fred.
