Ola Freddy. I am so sad that you have departed but I am so glad that you will now be in heaven with the Lord and with all of the other great entertainers. I am a entertainer and I do your songs and the crowds just loves to hear them. I will make sure that your memory lives on.
Gracias yi vaya con Dios amigo.

Hi Vangie and kids, my favorite scripture at the times my Mom and Dad went to Heaven. God said He is the God of Abraham, Issacc and Jacob, and Jesus said He's not the God of the dead but of the living. Though they had been in their graves for years, from the Master's own lips they are alive. Although I knew this, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" it somehow made it even more real and precious that they are alive but in a different place, a wonderful place Heaven. I am so glad to hear that Freddy accepted Jesus as his Saviour.

May the Angels who protected you
through your earthly stay
remain with you and comfort you
with gentle love, we pray.

May your spirit soar with the Angels
to your heavenly reward and
dwell through all eternity
in the presence of the Lord.

Love Stacee & Marissa

Freddy Fender, you will be missed dearly. Your "Since I Met You Baby" was the first song my husband and I danced to at our wedding 2 years ago. On Saturday, we saw your dear friend Flaco Jimemez pay tribute to you with a moment of silence at the accordion festival. Everyone's thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

I listened to Freddy when I was a child and I became hooked and still am, my thoughts are with your family, you will be well and truly missed, may your music live on Vaya Con Dios "Go with God" my brother

We as a family are saddened by the news of Freddie's death. While our fathers and uncles grew up next door to him in Harlingen and Los Indios. They picked the same cotton and migrated to some of the same areas in Texas.

For the children in the family we can remember the barbcues that played your beautiful music and the dancing, singing, and great time of our parents, friends and family.

My dad still has one of your 8 track tapes that he can still play on an 8 track player.

You are truly an inspiration for what you accomplished in your life.

You will be missed not only by the man you were, but because of the legacy you leave behind.

God take care of Freddy - see you in heaven.

Javier Diaz and Family

"Freddy Fender of the Hollywood" is what I called him as a little girl my mom tells me and she does not know where I got this from. Thanks to my mom and dad's love for him & his music, I too became a huge fan @ the age of three. I was fortunate enough to attend two of his concerts with my mom, was able to meet him and shake his hand. My mom would joke and say he was my real dad...my dad who passed in 2005 never made it to any of his concerts but we know Freddy is singing for him right now. When we heard Freddy passed my mom and I went to my aunts house had his autographed picture up,his music playing,some drinks, and reminisced(she remembers the way she and my dad danced to each of his songs). He will always be in our hearts and his music forever in our lives. Thank you Freddy Fender for your GREAT music and memories you created for my family. Huerta family- May God give you strength.

Our prayers will always be with you. God bless you all. May he live on in heaven singing with the angels.

wow! A great legend gone to heaven to begin his new life. My mom passed away 9-16-2006 Freddy was one of her favorite artist for many many years.
Now she will enjoy his music all the time for they are both in heaven.
God bless the family for I know how hard this is but just remember there is not a better reward. Someday may we all be together with all our love ones.

My deepest condolences to his family. I am a country singer and TV presenter from Malta. This Sunday I will make a feature on my program, and give Him recognition to all the achievements in Country Music. His wonderful voice will live forever. Thanks Freddy for all your wonderful songs!

MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD TURN THE MUSIC ON AND WE WOULD HERE YOUR MUSIC ALL DAY AND I LOVED HERE YOU SING YOU WILL NEVER DIE IN ARE HEARTS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY

Our condolences go out to the Fender family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you and may God bless you all. Mr. Fender's music was the first tejano music I'd ever heard when I was young, and it was very popular in our parts. I'm sure he's up in heaven singing away and performing his heart out.

Loved your music you will be deeply missed. you were one of the greatest singers ever, and in my opinion never got enough recognition.

I was deeply saddenned by your loss. As a kid my Dad had the album "Before the Next Teadrop Falls." I listened to that album who knows how many times in my life. My Dad actually lost that album and thanks to Ebay I found it again. Thank you Freddy...Vaya con Dios!

My deepest condolences to: the Huerta Family in San Benito and in Corpus Christy.

Freddy, May you now sing with the Angels about as you have on earth for so many years.

The Martinez family

My deepest condolences to his family, he was a true inspiration and a legend to anyone he touched with his music and his life, Thanks Freddy we will miss you and we know that God called you up just to hear your music in person. Give him a good show.

I was sad and in shock when my dad told me that Freddy had passed away. I grew up listening to his music because of my dad. Every weekend his friends and him would party at our house in el jardin listening to freddy's music. My favorite songs were If you loose a good thing, and wasted days and wasted nights. My condolences go out to the Huerta Family he introduce the world to great music and to our little town of San Benito. He will be missed but always remembered. God Bless Freddy for now you will be singing with the angels for a greater audience.

My deepest condolences to his family and his fans all over the world. I think Freddy IS the one of the greatest Texas Soul singer all the time! R.I.P. Tejas Tornado.
