Tuesday, March 17, 2020, Fred Albert Moody, age 95, of High Point, North Carolina fought the good fight and finished his course. He kept the faith and has now received his crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge has given him on this day.
The 7th son of Emma Grady and Joseph G. Moody, he was born January 15, 1925 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Fred was a holiness gospel minister for 69 years and was lovingly referred to as "Prophet Moody" by his church members. He was a walking Bible, quoting and sharing King James scripture to everyone who was willing or even unwilling to listen.
During the week, Fred was a long-haul truck driver with a handle of "Flame of Fire Preacher Man". He used to say that he had seen it all and that whether he was in the mountains, in a valley, on a bridge, or in the city, he was always with God.
Fred was the daddy of four lovely daughters, 6 precious grandchildren, and 18 adoring great
grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife of 14 years, Rose Moody; daughters Jeannette Harrell (Freddie), Dorcas Perez (Rob), Rachel Moody, and his loyal canine companion Flo.
He was preceded in death by his daughter, Barbara Foster.
A visitation for Fred will be held from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Saturday, March 21, 2020, at Sechrest Funeral Service, 1301 E. Lexington Ave, High Point, North Carolina 27262. A private family service and burial will be held on Sunday, March 22, 2020.
There are not enough words to sum up someone's life or their faith. The following scriptures reflect his life well-lived in obedience to God:
1 Corinthians 9:16 King James Version (KJV) For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
Romans 10:15 King James Version (KJV) And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
