Freddy Buchholz, 69, of Fannett, died Wednesday, November 4, 2020, at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas, Beaumont.
Frank Fredrick Buchholz III was born November 25, 1950, in Beaumont, Texas. To his parents Frank Frederick, Jr. and Mary Lou Buchholz. Freddy was one of six siblings. Growing up in Beaumont he attended school at Forest Park ISD and worked at M&M Air Service during his high school days. Freddy was an athlete and loved the outdoors. He had a passion for Baseball and played many years at the West End Little League. Freddy inherited his passion for the outdoors from his father Frank. Freddy went on to join The United States Marine Corps in 1970 and attended Boot Camp at Camp Pendleton, California. He married Debra Ann Cuniff July 30, 1971. He often referred to her as the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. His endearing nickname for Debbie was (HEN). He was stationed in Jacksonville, North Carolina, then transferred to Beaufort, South Carolina where he became a Drill Instructor. He was a drill instructor for 2 years. This is where they started their family and Torri Ann Buchholz arrived in 1973.
Freddy was honorably discharged from the Marine Corp and they moved back to SETX. Justin Ray Buchholz was born in 1976 and his youngest son, Seth Fredrick Buchholz, was born in 1982. Freddy worked with his father building homes until he went into the Oil Field industry in the 1980’s. Freddy shared his love for baseball with his boys and coached them for several years. He loved all of his kids friends and made a big impression on just about everyone he met. He made a lifetime of friends that he held dear over the years. Freddy had many friends and never met a stranger. Freddy loved socializing and was never shy about stirring the pot a little with his friends or just about everyone he met. Many called him the town Mayor. He had countless memories Hunting and fishing with family and friends. The tradition continues with his children and grandchildren. He was at just about every ball game, Fishing Tournament, or singing event for his grandchildren he could make. He was very proud of his grandkids. One of his greatest joys was cooking and hosting large feeds. The fellowship with family and friends was what he really enjoyed even though it was intense fellowship at times. Lol.

Well, it's hard to find words to describe my ole padna Fred. There's tough but kind. There's rough but smooth. What Freddy had was yours. His door always open and food to be shared. His debates would make Trump blush. But most of all, he loved his family first. We will all miss his kind smile, his helping hand and his BIG HEART. See ya ole pal. Debbie, Tori, Justin, Seth and all of your husbands wife's and grandkids. We love y 'all.
Jo Lynn Leal
I am so sorry to hear of Freddy’s passing. I looked forward to seeing him almost every year when he came to get a couple of ducks for Thanksgiving. He was always full of great stories about the times he spent with my dad and the other Watkins boys. I’ am sure he and Uncle Jim have already visited and swapped adventures. God bless you as you face the days ahead.
