I met Fred when we both worked at F&R many years ago. He was a great and fun guy and we stayed in occasional contact even though we were 100 miles apart for decades. He was a good salesman and an even better friend. Godspeed fellow soldier.

I remember meeting Fred for the first time shortly after he and Melinda had started dating. He was so instantly liked by everyone. Such a warm smile and easy conversationalist which never changed in all the years I knew him. Accommodating kind and generous, and a great story teller. He will be sorely missed, but well remembered. May he Rest In Peace.

Fred was one of the first guys I met when I joined Fox Run in 2013. He was always the very nicest, kindest, thoughtful guy there. Always positive, helpful and wanting to help you whenever he could. I know he is staying in the short grass with Jesus. I have and will continue to miss him. RIP buddy.

I played many rounds of golf with Fred at Fox Run until I left there in 2010. Did not know he had cancer. or I would have visited him. He was a great man and I will never forget his great personality. He was always sincere and kind. and a very good golfer. He will be missed, but we will be together again in Heaven.

In our childhood, my brother Marshall and I lived about a block away from the Wests -- Fred, Lamar, Mary Nell and John Riley, in Abbeville. Marshall and Fred were the same age, so we had many childhood and young adult adventures in Abbeville and our family farm. Our parents were best friends, and our families enjoyed time on the lake water skiing. Memories that are treasured. My heart goes out to the family and friends, praying for God's peace and comfort.

Fred and I were classmates in high school and roommates in college. He was a young man of boundless energy and a keen sense of humor. We shared many adventures together and spent many late nights at the Simple Simon and the Beacon in Spartanburg. The loss of Fred hurts, but I do hope the family can find comfort in this through their faith. The world is a lesser place without my "roomie."
