Fred, also known as Pops, age 74, of Fountain Hills, AZ, passed away peacefully on July 27th, 2024. He succumbed to a broken heart after losing the love of his life, Teresa, six months ago. A devoted husband, brother, father, grandfather and friend, he leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and resilience.
An immigrant with a tenacious spirit, Fred built a life in a new land through hard work and determination. He was a proud Boy Scout and an avid outdoorsman, finding solace and joy in nature's embrace. Fred cherished the simple pleasures of life, often sharing his love for the outdoors with his family and friends.
A compassionate soul, Fred taught his children the importance of helping others and caring for animals. His patience, guidance, and unwavering support were the cornerstones of his family, and his lessons will continue to resonate in the hearts and minds of the six beautiful grandchildren he leaves behind.
Fred will be remembered for his generosity, strength, and the love he shared with all who knew him. He is survived by his brother Mike, three children, Trish, Mike, and Carly and six grandchildren Summer, Leo, Emily, James, Melanie and Fred who will carry on his legacy with pride.
May he rest in peace and love, reunited with his beloved Teresa.
A Memorial Mass will be held at St. Bernard of Clairvaux on Saturday, August 3rd at 1:00pm, to be followed by a celebration of his life in Fountain Hills, AZ.
