I am so very sorry for your loss. I just wanted to let you know that I grew up listening to Freddy's music. He was my mother's favorite singer bar none and she had every album he ever made up until her death back in 95 so I have had a love for his music ever since I can remember.
He will be missed.
But yes, he is in a better place where he can rest and feel healthy again.
Hugs to the whole family,
Tonya

To the Fender family,
I am so sorry for your lost. I just found out today. I came across his music and I am listening to him as I write this. I lost my sister, age 48 of lung cancer, in Jan, 2007. Another sister of breast cancer in Dec. 2003. Also at the age of 48. I know what you all went through. My sister also loved his music. I know one day we will all be together again. He left us with all his music. Which will live on forever. Thank you, FREDDY FENDER. May you rest in peace. We love you and miss you.

Thank you for your sweet and sexy music. I love how you often broke into Spanish; it's so much prettier though I don't understand a lot of the words. Thanks for the dance it's been a long time. May your family find comfort in the blessing of your life. Be sure to look up Johnny Horton; he's a sweet spirit too.

I have offered my condolences to Freddys'
family shortly after his death. Since then I visit the guestbook once a week.
When family / friends & fans write their
feelings...I am getting to know the man
that puts me to sleep most nights with his music. I am just about his age having
been a fan from the beginning. Please
continue to write your feelings for Freddy & his family. Rest in Peace Freddy.

Freddy, thank you so much for representing me, my family, and the rest of the Mexican Americans from the Valley and all over the United States. You never were embarrassed of who you were and you never forgot where you came from nor denied your heritage. You proved that when we accept who we are we can shine so brightly that you can succeed in any environment..i.e. country, top 40, rock and roll, movies etc. Born in Edinburg, Texas and having been raised in Pharr, Texas, I as well as my father, mother and other family members enjoy your songs, the Milagro Beanfield War and are proud to say that Freddie was one of us. Thank you for being the great person and role model that you were and still are. Thank You Baldemar. You did it!

I loved all of your music Freddie.Some of your songs that you recorded are classics and will live on forever.I enjoyed you and the Texas Tornados also. I got to see you in Las Vegas with Leroy Van Dyke.Thank You Freddie,I will miss you.

THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC YOU MADE, MY DAD REALLY LOVED YOU HE PASSED IN 1988, AND I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC SINCE. REST IN PEACE FREDDY.

It's been only a few months since you passed on to be with our Lord. All I can say is if you see my father, say hello to him for me and I'm sure you both will end up singing together up there. He loved your music and I remember all the times with the familia playing your songs. You truly are an inspiration and I want to thank you for all that you have given to so many of us. You surely are an angel that needed to be here on earth. Now it's time for you to finish your journey in heaven. May God Bless the familia of Freddy Fender and God Bless all those who have been touched by him.

I just read the e-mail that was sent a couple of days ago. regarding the article on Valley Morning Star, "Peace after a painful struggle" and You know my heart goes out to You and your family because We know how much it hurts to go on without someone that your so use to seeing and talkin to ,growin up with.. the lost of my 3 aunts to cancer, my Grandmother, and my brother who was murderd. but they r in heaven but i sure wish they didn't have to go becuase the loss of a loved one so close ..takes so long to get over and really live life again. thou sometimes it doesn't feel that it isn't fair ,but what can we do but to cry and feel the loss all over again and turn to the lord for his blessings. May the lord bless you all!

I just found out about Freddy's demise. As a kid I used to listen to him a LOT.

Recently I started playing my old LPs for my wife who is from Mexico. Yesterday we were listening to a "country gold" program in the Atlanta area when the DJ played one of Freddy's hits and then had some commentary about Freddy's life and passing.

It was a shock. But know this: I know the words to MANY of Freddy Fender's songs and he will live in my heart as long as I live.

was always a pleasure riding with him and going for coffee
