Charles passed away on Sunday, November 21, 2010 in Roswell. Charles was born to Morris Palmer Frederick and Helen Irene Buffum Frederick on April 28, 1950 in El Paso, Texas. He married Kathy Mask on September 18, 1971 in Tucumcari, New Mexico. After graduation from NMMI, Charles proudly served our nation for 13 years reaching the Army rank of Sgt. E-7. He coached his sons and numerous others in baseball and life, and proudly assisted as his sons took over the role of coaches. Charles loved his Brothers and Sisters in Christ at Highland Baptist Church. He was never shy about sharing his Lord and Savior with others. He always enjoyed the small things in life spent with his family camping, fishing, and golfing. Charlie was a talented artist in paint, words, and pens. He always had a joke to make you smile and grin; poems to make you laugh or cry. Those left behind to cherish his memory are his wife of 39 years Kathy Frederick; two sons Lee Frederick and wife Rebecca, and Cory Frederick; two brothers William Frederick and wife Jimmie, and Frank “Corky” Frederick and wife Patti; a granddaughter Lena Marie Frederick; nieces and nephews: Roy, Robert, Virginia, Hayley, Abbey, and Jason; and Whit Hamill who was thought of as another son. He was preceded in death by his parents Morris and Helen Frederick. The family would like to send a special “Thank You” to Dr. Daniel Raes for the wonderful care he gave Charlie and for the special relationship he had with him over the years. The family says “Thank You” to Brother Richard Smith whose love and friendship meant so much to Charlie. “Thank You” Roswell Hospice for all the care, compassion, and help given to our family during the last months of Charlie’s life.
