Freddie was injured in a logging accident on March 12, 2018. He fought hard but with many complications was unable to recover. Before he went into a peaceful sleep, he was able to say his final good bye to his children, and was able to tell Tye what to do so they could meet again.

Freddie loved life. He loved to talk and he never knew a stranger. He had a great imagination. Whether it was fixing, building or making up games to play. He will be missed greatly. His smile, laughter and memory will live on in many hearts.
