Fred Earl Young, Jr. “Freddie” of Eagle Lake passed away, Jan. 16, 2023, at the age of 60 after fighting a courageous battle against Glioblastoma. He was born on Nov. 8, 1962, in Eagle Lake, Texas and was a graduate of Rice High School class of 1981.
Freddie was a free spirit and lived life to the fullest without a worry. His mantra was “It will be alright!” He was happiest when he was outdoors, whether he was driving for Pagel Trucking, Hines Nursery or riding a tractor on the prairie for Fossil Farms and Gertson Farms. He also enjoyed spending time at deer camp with friends and going to South Texas. Freddie was a loving family man that will be dearly missed.
He is survived by his daughter, Brittany Young and fiancé Brazos King; brothers James Young, John Young and wife Jeanne, Joe Mike Young and wife Theresa; and sisters Frances Leopold and husband Mark, and Elizabeth Young.
