Fred passed away in the early hours of the morning, leaving behind a legacy that reaches far beyond the field.

Fred’s contribution to soccer was truly remarkable.

He played a key role in nurturing young talent, promoting sportsmanship, and building a strong sense of community rooted in teamwork and passion. His vision and commitment helped shape the club into what it is today, and his influence will continue to be felt for many years to come.

Within the Vikings community, Fred was much more than a founding member—he was a trusted friend, mentor, and source of inspiration. His guidance and encouragement touched the lives of many players, officials, and supporters. Beyond the club, he was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose love and wisdom helped shape his family. Many of his children and grandchildren remain actively involved in the club, continuing the legacy he worked so hard to build.
