I had the pleasure working with Fred since 2011. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and fun to be around. He trained so many new techs and was a big help to me with the electrical side of the aircraft early on in my inspection career. Fred will truly be missed. He put a brave fight. Rest in peace brother.

Sunni and Milton and family, I am so sorry to hear of Fred's passing. He was such a good guy with a very generous heart. He loved his family deeply. I will always remember the boy I went to school with and the good man he grew up to be. He was a dear friend and he will be sorely missed. My prayer for you all is that God will hold you in the palm of his hand during your time of grief, and that you will find comfort in knowing he is with our Heavenly Father. Love to you all.
