Fred had a great love for God and his family whom he loved, cared for and cherished. He had no fear of death and was eager to see his Savior. Unlike most men, he didn't hunt, fish or have hobbies because he treasured that time to be with his family.
Besides loving God and family, Fred loved his country and would fight for it in a minute if called to do so. Profanity was never heard from his lips but he gave sound advice whether you asked for it or not. Fred was an honorable, faithful husband, father and servant of the Lord to the end.
His parents, Fred and Lillie Catron and two brothers, Bob and Vesper Catron preceded him in death.
