Fred was born November 21, 1929 in Kenzua, Oregon (near Fossil, Oregon), and passed away at the age of 85 in his home in Yacolt, Washington, on June 10, 2015. He is survived by his wife Carmella Adams and four children, Florenda May Adams, Donna Lee Norton, Steven Edwawrd Adams, and Fredric Martin Adams, nine grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

Kenzua, Oregon is a ghost town now, only remembered by those who knew the logging families who lived there. But Fred followed naturally in his father's footsteps and took a job cutting timber when he was old enough to work. His passions were fishing, hunting, trapping, and cutting timber. He was a rough character throughout much of his life, but in later years told his daughters that he truly believed in God, and many of his rough ways changed. He will always be remembered as the man he became, and for the many huts and fishing trips he shared with family and friends.

Fred was buried in View Cemetery near LaCenter, Washington where Douglas-firs remind us of his love for nature and the live he lived. There was a family graveside service and after that a Celebration of Life where friends were invited to gather at the home of Marshall and Flora Adams on Saturday, July 20th, 2015.
