Remembering Fred Deaver
(March 1, 2016)
It is with sadness that I have to send this message. Fred Deaver, National FCF President Emeritus, has gone to be with the Lord. Fred helped mold Royal Rangers and FCF through a lot of years. He was one of our most influential leaders. He will be greatly missed around our campfires. Please remember to pray for the Deaver family and all of those he touched through the years.
National Announcement
This morning (3/1/2016) at 4:30 am Fred Deaver left this earth for his eternal Rendezvous. We all will miss him greatly, but we also take comfort in the knowledge that he is with the Lord and that someday we shall see him again. Please keep the entire Deaver family in your prayers in the days ahead as arrangements are made. Keep all those in prayer who have been mentored by Fred over the years for they are also experiencing loss at this time.
Fred Deaver was foundational in the formation and ongoing support of Royal Rangers. His love for this ministry and mentoring the next generation of Christ-like men had a huge impact. Fred enriched our lives, and we will greatly miss him.
