Mr. Culvern was born in Columbia, SC. He was the son of the late Fred Elms Culvern, Jr. and Doris Myrtle Duffie. He attended AC Flora High School and graduated from Clemson University in 1969 with a degree in electrical engineering. He served in the SC National Guard for six years. He worked for AT&T and several of its subsidiaries for 35 years before retiring. He later worked part-time for AutoZone.
Fred was a loyal and avid Clemson fan and never missed a football game in the Valley. He loved trucks and often could be found polishing his pride and joy - his black GMC AT4.
He loved his family and was extremely proud of his children and five grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Joanne M. Culvern; daughters Angela C. Martin and husband Chris of Orlando Florida, and Ashley E. Phillips and husband Daniel of Loganville, GA., grandsons Braden Showley, Colton Showley, Noah Phillips, Jacob Phillips, and Teddy Martin; and sisters Doris C. Brock (Bill) of Charlotte, NC, Anne C. Albers (Rick) of Johns Island, SC, and sister-in-law, Kathy J. Culvern of Wagner, SC; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Christopher S. Culvern.
A Memorial Service will be held on at at 2:30 P.M. on Friday, November 5, 2021, at Chestnut Grove Baptist Church, 2299 Rosebud Road, Grayson, GA, 30017.
