I would like to thank God for Blessing us with Freddy's great voice. I am only 27 years old and although I never met him or knew him personally I always felt like I did. Growing up whenever I heard a Freddy Fender song I would turn the radio up real loud because I admired his unique voice. I am also a Christian and although he is gone from us, his great Legacy will live on forever. A few days after his death I was visiting my uncle in Stafford Tx and he was listening to a local Fm station that plays the good old stuff ( Tejano oldies )and they were playing some very old Live performances from way back then of Freddy Fender. The sound of his unique voice and music hit me in my Tejano Heart and I had tears in my eyes knowing that he was no longer here. God Bless you and your family. Hope the Lord Jesus Christ grants you the stength to cope. Thanks, JM Flores******God is good all the time!

Only just learned Freddy's death. Enjoyed the music. RIP

I can remember listening to his music at a young age and have always been a fan. I have been overseas in the military and was sad to hear of his passing. I just wanted to say his music touched me for so many years and he will be missed.

I was so upset when i found out freddy passed on. I seen him at the casino with my father that was and always will be a huge fan.I had a song from freddy on my wedding dance and it brings tears to my eyes till this day because it was my parents wedding song too. my mother passed away from cancer to when I was young so I know how hard it is.

Dear Vangie and family, I wish you the best for this holiday season. I know Freddy will be with you in spirit today and always. You'll always have such beautiful memories of your lives with Freddy. I hope those memories will see you through the tough times ahead. Please take care of yourselves and each other. Carole Canant AKA Freddys Fan

Mrs. Huerta,

My condolences, I had the pleasure of meeting Freddy on several occasions and then working with Freddy when I managed "Los Rock Angels", who opened on a few occassions for the "Texas Tornados"; you may have seen a few of our T-Shirts Freddy collected,,,,,,

Freddy and I would always discuss acting, as I really enjoyed his performance in my favorite movie, "The Milagro Beanfield War". Freddy told me he never saw his work in the movie "Who will Sing the Songs"; I mailed him a copy to Corpus Christi and I hope you both enjoyed it,,,,,,

My friend's wife passed away from cancer 14 years ago and we immediately played the last album left on the record player, which was Freddy's "After the next Teardrop Falls". The next night, we heard Freddy was performing with Little Joe, and Margarito, Joe's then Road Manager heard our story and introduced us to Freddy. Freddy was gracious enough to hear our story and sign the album for my friend's family,,,,,,

Meeting Freddy was a dream come true for me; as he continues to be an inspiration to us Chicanos, as he was a Great Actor & Musician,,,,,,

Merry Xmas

Huge Fan of Freddie Fender. I sing all of his hits when I sing Karaoke at the club's

People love him here in southern Illinois. Got the chance to meet him in person when I

was stationed in Frankfurt Germany. He performed at the NCO club Main

Shopping px complex. Told him that the Cordova family from New Mexico Loves

him. He signed two 8x10 Photo's which I still have. One to All the Cordova's from

New Mexico, and the other to me and my Wife. He will be greatly missed. Peace to

you my Brother..... God Bless You Vangie And Your Familia.

I think I speak for the world when I say we will miss Freddy. I want to tell Fred Garcia and his family I am very sorry for their loss, and to thank them for the gifts they gave my family. I hope to get in touch with you again someday. Love to your family and always know there were never ANY "Wasted Days or Wasted Nights"

May God hold you in his hands. My mother was a fan of Freddie's. I remember listening to him when I was very young. Now at ripe age of 40, I can sit back & think of the words to alot of the older songs my mom listen to..
Again God Bless you all.
He will be missed by many..

Freddie,
You will truely be missed. Thank you for all you have done and to date continue to do for the Latino culture!!!. Although I am only 41 years old I love to listen to your music because it takes me back to my childhood and I remember my grandparents, my parents, my aunts, my uncles all dancing to your music, those were truely the Good old days. My grand parents are up in heaven and I am sure they are delighted to be able to dance once again to your music. Have fun
and Gracias for the music

We are so broken hearted right now that I, myself can hardly bare to hear my father's Christian CD title "Coming Home". He sings...

"How can I sing a sad song," when I have Jesus in my heart, and when God gives me grace in place of mourning". "I love Jesus, Jesus, Jesus"!

It makes me smile and cry for my father and God at the same time.

You'll be missed, Freddy. Your's were truly not 'Wasted Days and Wasted Nights'.

freddy you will be missed
