Richard Lee Fredericks' Obituary
Richard Lee Fredericks, 65, left for his journey home, August 20, 2015 at the Willard Walker Hospice Home in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Richard left behind his four loving children; Kimberly Conley and her husband Joe, of Fayetteville, Kelsey Schratz and her husband Quinn of Fayetteville, Jesse Fredericks and his wife Julie of Seattle, Washington and Jared Fredericks of Fayetteville; five grandchildren; Sydney, Elijah, Kutler, Anderson and Jaime. Caregiver & confidante of 37 years, Michelle Fredericks Mattox. Also two brothers, Phil and David and countless loved ones and friends.
Richard was a friend to all who knew him and found fault in no one. His laughter was contagious and he found joy in watching movies, fireworks and humming birds. Richard was a hard worker, talented with his hands whether planting flowers or making furniture in his workshop. Above all else he loved his family well.
Throughout his life he enjoyed cooking, sports of all kinds, listening to his collection of music, fishing and bowling and his much loved animals. Richard was one to always say hello and thank you to all the many caregivers and friends whom he loved. Never was he one to complain of his life challenges, but simply appreciated what he had been given and refused to look back on what he had lost. He will always be our hero and continue to live on in our hearts.
A graveside service to be help at 2pm at Baptist Ford Cemetery on Saturday August 22, 2015.
