Freddy now goes to join those who passed before him, including his grandparents Klazina and Arend Lubberts, and Rolande and Bill Azure

Freddy was full of energy from the moment he was born on September 13, 1985, in The Pas, Manitoba. He was always on the go, never one to sit still for long, and he was at his best when he was around people. Freddy had a way of making everyone feel welcome—he was funny, lighthearted, and always ready with a joke or a laugh. He just had that spark, the kind that made life a little more fun when he was around. No matter where he was or what he was doing, he was the kind of person who would drop everything to help someone out, not because he had to, but because that’s just who he was.

From the time he was little, Freddy had a fascination with how things worked. Every Christmas, he’d get a new bike or a stereo, and without fail, he’d have it taken apart before the day was over—just to see if he could put it back together. Eventually, we all caught on and stopped giving him gifts with screws! That curiosity never left him. He loved tinkering in his dad’s shop, working with wood, fabricating metal, always creating something with his hands. But more than anything, Freddy had the biggest heart. He was kind in a way that you don’t come across often, and his absence leaves a hole that can never be filled. We will miss him beyond words—the laughter, the mischief, the way he made life feel lighter. He was one of a kind, and we were so lucky to have him.

A Celebration of Life in honour of Freddy will be held on SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 2025, at 4:00 PM, located at the Chapel of Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.
