Fred Herbert Andrews was born on June 17, 1917, in Oktaha, OK., the oldest of four children born to Edgar and Ressie Andrews. As a young boy the family settled in Dinuba, CA, where Fred later met and married the love of his life, June Trevis. They shared 64 years wonderful years together as husband and wife.

In 1944 they moved onto the family farm in southwest Fresno and together, with God's help, raised three children. Fred enjoyed farming the property while working as a route salesman for Rainbo Bread for 28 years.

He was a humble man who blessed many lives, teaching the definition of a Godly life, while putting God and his family first. He served as an Elder for 30 years at the Palm Avenue Church of Christ. He shared a deep love for the Lord to his very last days with his friends and family, including the staff at Horizon Health Care, where he resided for the last two months.

In his home you could find him singing old hymns or reading his Bible. He was also an avid reader of books on his iPad. He was quite proud to have been able to use current technology at his age. He had an unbelievable memory that served him well while story telling. He truly was a "man of God", and we were blessed to be his children, and will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his infant brother Norman; his wife June; and his great-grandson, Christopher Steinman.

He is survived by his sister, Louise Kent; and brother and sister-in-law, Dean Andrews and Flora; his sons and their spouses, Robert and Joyce, and Gary and Barbara; his daughter Barbara Steinman and husband Bob; his grandchildren and their spouses, Lynette Smith and Don, Vince Steinman and Lori, Jeff Andrews and Cheryl, Craig Andrews, Todd Andrews, Tahiea Fortmeyer and Justin, and Garrett Andrews and Christina; his great grandchildren, Josh Smith, Kattie Marean and husband Rob, Elliot, Audrey and Jack Fortmeyer, and Christian and Trevis Andrews.
