Freddie will be greatly missed for his talent at music as well as his humitarianism.. God Bless Freddie.. be at peace now..

I loved Freddy's music, like so many others, I grew up listening to his music. I remember when he came to Prairie Wind Casino, and the staff of KILI Radio had a short interview with him, he was so awesome. Prayers were requested in church this past Sunday for the family. My sympathy goes out to his family and his fans, God Bless.

Growing up in San Benito at the time you started singing I felt very proud in later years when you became famous and famous you will be for generations. I remember Saturdays and Sundays in the 50's when you used to sing at Tio Leno's and Tio Pancho's neighborhood grocery stores (this was mentioned in one of your albums). You use to come on your motorcycle and put nickels in the jukebox and sing along with the songs. I remember the days you were called the "B-Bop Kid" and I still have a 45 record with this name. I went to one of your concerts here in Houston and you still ask for my family using their nicknames and after all this years you still remember us. I felt honored and proud. I took a picture with you that day and I will show it to future generations and tell them that we grew up together and that my mother Catarina use to take care of you when you were a baby. As a matter of fact you and your family use to live in a house which was behind ours in San Benito . I saw your face painted on one of the water towers in San Benito, I saw Freddy Fender Lane and soon I hope they erect a statue in your honor. You put San Benito on the minds of the whole world because of your culture which is rare now a days. You were a migrant worker just like myself and I know what you went thru in life to get what you became in later years. I read that you are going to be buried in the San Benito Cemetery and when in the Valley I will go see you to pay my respect.

From one fellow Marine to another--SEMPER FI!

AHUA, thanks for the memories. Vaya con dios.

Thanks Freddy for the great music that you sang. You will truly be missed as a prominent hispanic singer. See you on the other side

We absolutely loved hearing "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" from the jukebox of our favorite bar in San Luis Obispo. Your music became an inextricable part of our college memories and you will never be forgotten.

Love,
Jen, Melin, Teres, Kath, Ang, Leslie & TIs (and Carlos!)

Our hearts go out to Freddy's Family during this time. Freddy you will truly be missed by all. We will never forget the day we met on the road going to Oatman with Teddy and Eilene Dunn. We will treasure the picture we have from there forever. May God Bless the entire family in your time of sorrow.

WE share these teardrops from our eyes to see a great singer pass on by but we know you'll be singing in heaven next to God's side you'll be missed and we know this is true May God bless you Freddy and we'll see you in heaven cause one day we'll be up there too.
