Fred knew his Lord and Savior at a young age and attended Gulf Coast Worship Center. He was our loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and light to those around him. He played football for Long Beach High School and worked at Choice grocery store in Long Beach in the evenings. Fred loved to fish and play golf with his brothers and Dad, and just be with his very large family. His favorite holiday is Thanksgiving and he loved baking the pies for everyone. Fred was a very loving boy who was loved deeply and will be missed even more. He always had a big hug for anyone who needed one especially his Grammy. His charisma and contagious smile will be remembered by all that knew him. He was his Dad's Little Blonde Monkey Boy because he always clung to his Dad with huge hugs. Lord please keep our Baby Boy until you bring us home too.
Fred will be celebrated at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 19, 2007 at Gulf Coast Worship Center located at 18381 28th Street Long Beach, MS 39560.
