As a young man, Fred was a member of the United Methodist Church in Walthill, Nebraska, where he was saved and baptized. For the past several months, he attended the Pentecostal Holiness Church in Holdenville. Fred’s favorite thing from childhood was football.

He enjoyed wood carving and making jewelry, going to the lake, and being just a little ornery. His greatest joy was spending time with his boys and his wife.
