Fred has served as pastor to many churches throughout Arkansas and Missouri as well as youth and music minister. He is a member of Central Baptist Church in Conway, Arkansas. Fred also worked at JC Penney and Faulkner County for many years. Fred loved spending time with his family and the light of his life was his grandchildren. No matter how bad he felt they could bring a smile to his face. He loved to joke and tease with those around him. And he will be missed by all who knew him. He fought the good fight and is now rejoicing in heaven.
