Fred Franklin Williams, Jr., known affectionately as "Duffy", comfortably passed away, on April 24th, 2024. After his efforts fighting his complicated health the last couple years, his struggles ended in the care of a specialty hospital as he passed.
Fred was the "Life of the party" and had the ability to make anyone laugh. He was full of knowledge, and skilled in any trade. He showed his talent assisting family and friends with projects including anything from construction, to art, but loved and took most pride in his Automotive Interior work. Fred spent one year creating a haunted house for us all to enjoy. He showed his creativity through Christmas decorations and scenery every year, halloween scenery every year, custom costumes for trick or treat, and 100s of classic car restorations still in show to date, even more through his business. His laugh and charisma is as memorable as his name. Fred took pride in raising his family, worked hard maintaining his business and household, and spent the better part of his life making it his priority to put everyone and their needs before his own, no matter the consequences.
Fred's memory will be forever held in the hearts of his surviving family: two children, Fred, IV (Mickey) (Andrea) and Kyle; grandaughter, Kyla; siblings: Dave (Barb), Debbie (Mike), Colleen (Steve), Bonnie (Jeff), and Tim; and many nieces and nephews, along with their spouses and their thier children. Fred was preceded in death by his parents, Fred Sr. (Mickey) and Ruth, as well as his niece, Kayla, rest in peace.
A gathering to celebrate Fred's life will take place July 6th, 2024, 2pm-9pm, at Riverside park in West Bend. Games, food, water, and small selection of soda to be provided, please bring your own drinks.
