I miss you freddy , thank you for every single word of wisdom you gave me, Thank you for those longs rides of just you telling me these cool crazy stories, i wish we can just take a ride and grab a burger and talk like we did. I wish this was just a dream.. But thank you for entering my life and showing me to appreciate the small things. 
Hope to see you soon my friend.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Freddy's family & friends.  I did not know him that well however I know he was a wonderful man that brightened many peoples lives. 
His love for his country and sacrifice is something that every American should thank him for. 
Freddy is now in Heaven with our Father and no longer suffering. He will be looking over his family and friends forever. 

God bless you all, 
Jerri Arriola & Jeff Edwards

My sincere condolences to your family & friends Mr. Tamez. I wish I could have met you. Hearing all the wonderful & loving memories from all of your loved ones yesterday, it was clear that you wore your heart on your sleeve. Your boys have followed in your footsteps Sir. You raised them right. They have been there for my family during our most trying times. -They are family! Rest in peace Mr. Tamez and know that your boys will always be surrounded by love & support.

Freddy, we were so looking forward to your visit. Your laughter never ceased. Our service means everything and your sacrifice was never forgotten or ever will be. The miles separate us, but love does not. Cousins always.

Go with God Freddy, We have the Watch! Well done Good and Faithful Servant. You will be greatly missed dear friend.

I never had a chance to really know Freddie but my brother Ricky and my dad spoke so highly of him.  I only wish we could be with the family during this time.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Yolanda Garcia (Tellez) Gary, IN

Freddy I loved your laugh! It was contagious. I will miss the stories of the adventures and trouble you used to get into. You hold a special place in my heart, and especially in the hearts of my mom and dad. Thank you for always making the effort to come and sit with dad and visiting with both of my parents. Your kindness was greatly appreciated by my sisters and I. Thank you for taking the time to talk with Jacob as he made the decision to enter the Army and all the advice you gave him. I can only imagine the happy greeting you received as you walked into heaven! You were one of the most brave, courageous and fearless men I've ever know and you will always be in my heart! Love you, Yoli

Your gentle soul and kind smile are with me always. You will be forever missed! The world lost a walking living angel and while its not my place to ask why I only pray for peace and comfort for B.T. and Felix. I know your Godson, Felix Andres Botello, will miss you tremendously as will your nieces Amanda and Michelle. Ay que Freddy!

Freddy, I am heartbroken that after many attempts to try and find you, I was unsuccessful.  I wanted so bad to get in touch with you and talk about old times.  I just never knew where you had gone.  Well, now you are with my brother, Edward, your good friend.  May Eternal Light Shine Upon You Always and Forever.  Love you Freddy.  From Sylvia (Garcia) Yeats, originally from Bay City, Texas.

My heart is extremely broken....
I've been in denial since I got the news but I guess it's true...
You were a true friend, very caring and kind...
I laughed with you & I cried with you...
I will FOREVER cherish my memories of you..
I miss you already!!! 
I love you Freddy, may your beautiful soul rest in peace...

I will always remember the words of encouragement you shared with Cory and I as we transitioned back to civilian life. I will cherish the love you had for McKennah and Bryson. Thank you for being so wonderful! 

The Hart Family
