Family, Work, and Community

Freddie graduated from O’Fallon Technical High School in 1966. That same year, while attending the “God’s Sons of Liberty” District Assembly of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Baltimore, Maryland, he met the love of his life, Sharon Porter. They were married on May 5, 1967, in Newark, New Jersey, beginning a devoted union that spanned 58 years. A skilled union carpenter, Freddie established his own door business in 1975 and became widely known throughout the community as “The Door Man.” He took great pride in his work and continued working until 2025. In his leisure time, Freddie enjoyed boating aboard his vessel, Old Well, traveling, and following baseball and basketball.

A Life of Faith and Service

Freddie’s spiritual journey began in 1955 when his mother, Elizabeth Brown, accepted a Bible study with Jehovah’s Witnesses. He symbolized his dedication through baptism on May 28, 1960. Throughout his life, Freddie served faithfully as an elder in the East Unit, Sherman Park, Penrose Park, and Newstead Congregations. Freddie found great joy in volunteering his skills on Kingdom Hall Quick Build construction projects throughout Missouri, working closely with his door crew, and assisting with home restoration efforts following Hurricane Katrina. Above all, his greatest joy was found in sharing in the door-to-door ministry as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and in offering spiritual encouragement to friends, family, and all who were in need. Those who knew Freddie remember him as a man of diligence, integrity, and quiet strength. He was genuine and trustworthy, known for his strong work ethic, steady focus, and skilled hands. Freddie carried himself with pride and wisdom, always inquisitive and eager to learn, yet grounded and dependable. He was deeply loyal, considerate, and supportive, offering encouragement freely and lending a helping hand wherever needed. With an optimistic spirit and a warm, conversational nature, Freddie could make others laugh with his humor and feel at ease in his presence. Above all, he was faithful – in his service to Jehovah, his relationships, and his love for family.

Memorial will be held on 04/11/2026 at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses 3000 Park Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63104, beginning at 02:00 pm.
