Born in Odessa, Texas, on December 9, 1987, Freddie lived a life full of adventure and love. From a young age, he found his passion in the craft of welding, a skill that shaped and represented his dedication and precision. Freddie’s hands always sought to create, build, and repair, reflecting his generous nature and willingness to help others.

Freddie had an unwavering love for the outdoors, and this deep connection to nature led him to pursue hobbies such as hiking, camping, and fishing. Whether he was casting a line by a peaceful lake or climbing a mountain trail, he found solace in the serenity of the wilderness. His move to Colorado was a reflection of this love where he sought a life closer to the beauty that captivated him.

Freddie's green eyes were as striking as his spirit—bright and full of life, they reflected the beauty of nature and curiosity he saw in the world. Those who knew him will always remember how his eyes seemed to sparkle when he talked about the things he loved, whether it was his family, the outdoors, or his faith in God. They were a window to the warmth and depth of his soul.

Above all, Freddie loved his family with his whole heart. He cherished his role as a father to his daughter and looked forward with great excitement to becoming a grandfather. His family was his greatest treasure, and he would often express how proud he was of his loved ones. Freddie was also a cherished son and brother, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Freddie’s laughter, kindness, and the warmth of his spirit will remain with us forever. His legacy lives on through the countless memories he created with his family and friends, and his love and determination will continue to inspire those who were fortunate to know him.

A public viewing will be held Tuesday September 2nd from 4:00pm-8:00pm as well as a Rosary will be held at 7:00pm. The funeral service will be held in his memory, Wednesday September 3rd at 1:00pm, and we invite all who knew Freddie to remember him in their own way—whether it be through a quiet moment in nature or a shared memory of his warmth and humor.

Rest in peace, Freddie. You are loved, and you will be missed more than words can express.
