Freddie was born on August 17, 1945, in Dallas, Texas to Doil and Vernal Fox. On April 24, 1971, he married Marcia (Childress) Fox. Freddie was a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He was also a dedicated brother of the Free Masons, Master Mason of Greenville, Texas Lodge 335. He worked for the Kansas City Southern Railroad for 35 years and retired at the age of 62. After retirement, he spent most of his time with his two granddaughters, who he loved more than anything. He also enjoyed sitting back in his favorite recliner and watching his favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys, which was well deserved after all those years of hard work.
Freddie is survived by his wife, Marcia Fox; his children, Farrah Fox and David Fox; his two granddaughters, Victoria Habluetzel and Gracie Ray Fox; his brother, Jerry Fox; his nephew, Sam Fox; and many others who will miss him greatly.
He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Wesley Fox; aunt, Ima Lou Young; and nephew, Ronnie Fox.
Pallbearers will be Eddy Ball, Duane Gaulden, Fred Gaulden, Jerry Mainord, Charlie Mize, and Jim Woodfield.
