My condolences to the family. Mrs. Guyton Abrams, I saw your post on FB and just drove me to this page. Fly High Solider; Thanks for your Honorable Service!! Rest In Peace!
My wife and I are neighbors to Fred, his grandmother and other family members. I became acquainted with Fred when he would come over and offer his help to me with my yard work. He was such a kind, respectful and courteous young man. He shared his future college plan with me to pursue a Civil Engineer degree. I let him know how proud of him I was. And when he returned home we spoke briefly where he informed me that he had decided to join the Air Force. Again, another life milestone decision that he shared. And again I shared my proudness of him. This is a young man that all he wanted to do...was to do good in life. Rest In Peace Fred! We will miss you.
