He is preceded in death by his father and mother, Adeline and Roy Benz.  Fred was incredibly active in church, a devoted Christian, and passionate drummer. He played on the Worship Team Sunday mornings, praising his Lord and Savior. He enjoyed golfing, fishing, hunting and running.  He will always be remembered for his love of music, his love of Jesus, and his love for helping others.
