I was born in '69. His music , his voice and beautiful lyrics gives me the warmest feeling, when I am happy or when I am sad. It feels like a warm blanket. I can feel his honesty. It is almost like he is a father to me. I love his music very much, from the beginning , since I was a little girl and I appreciate his music even more now, due my life experience. I feel very sad that he is no longer with us anymore. Gosh how I would have loved to join a concert of him. Sweet Freddy, rest in peace, God Bless You. Muchos besos. Your spirit will never die and you Always will be remembered. Your family must miss you very much. You are a great person. Thank you so much for your beautiful energie. I hope one day we will meet in heaven. Much love to the family xxx

Just wanted to say happy belated birthday to Freddy Fender. I was a big fan growing up in New Jersey. Growing up in a north east coast city, i can't recall how came to be a fan but I was. I remember putting on a fake thick mustache at 12 years old to look like him while listening to the I'll Be There... Ran across is music recently online and downloaded my favorites again. I'm 51 now and feel like my tens listening to his sounds. Great performer.

Happy Birthday Freddie :)

We love you dad. Our hearts are not filled without your physical presence.

Wishing you a spiritual happy birthday.

Lost without you. May God watch over me and our family.

I cant wait to see you again someday and I will know laughter again.

Until then, Go with Jesus as you often said his name.

Just stopping by to wish you a Happy Birthday. Our girls were blessed to have you as their Grandfather and miss you dearly. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank-you for this site. I LOVED Freddy Fender growing up and am beginning to listen to him all over again.

I was privileged to see Freddy perform at Duffers Irish Bar, Mission Viejo, CA on Saturday 25 July 1992. I have always thought that Charlie Rich's brother was in the band but it may have been his son. I kept shouting for "Via Con Dios" but he said that he had not rehearsed that number with his new band. He did sing my favourite "Rancho Grande" and, of course, "Before The Next Teardrop Falls".

After the show, his manager kindly agreed to introduce me and Freddy stepped out of his replacement bus (the original having broken down at Needles, CA, thus delaying the show), which was parked right at the back door, to chat for a few minutes and pose for pictures.

I asked him if he would ever play in Scotland and he mentioned that he had performed at the Peterborough International C&W Festival in England and said that he may play in Scotland "someday". Sadly, so far as I know, that day never arrived.

Via con dios, mi amigo Freddy.

I had such such a crush on him when i was a little girl! So sorry to hear of his passing. But surely he now sings to Jesus....

...I'm just an old white man...but to me Freddy still lives...

Hi Freddy Fender, I'm not sure how I got here, but now I'm signing your guestbook. Hope you don't mind.

To my Dad the man in my life that loved me unconditionally and showed me how to stay strong, keep on moving forward and never give up. You always made sure to let me know you loved me and never let anyone make me think different. I miss you and thank God everyday for such a wonderful Dad. I love you... Happy Father's Day.

YOUR PRESENTS IN THE FAMILY MEANT SO MUCH TO ME. IT IS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU.

Happy Birthday Dad! I celebrate your life by not being afraid of my life (past, present or future).
I hold my head up high in the name of my higher power, Jesus Christ.

I follow the direction of truth and beauty.
I fear not; I am brave with Jesus.
I am truly free now.

I will eat a cup cake with a candle for you tonight . . .
