And Feel Your Presence Once Again
I Am Thankful For All The 14 Years

We Will Always Remember “You for everything you have done for us & others you have helped in your lifetime”
Whose Love Was Honest And True!
You are A true Hero & thatz why God put u on this earth to save the many lives you saved during ur call of duties as a dedicated Firefighter & 1st. Responder.

My name is Sarena Shaw and I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Childress death. On Black Friday he came to my home and helped me with my son Ayden who had a Christmas Ornament in his eye. I wish I had gotten the chance to tell him how grateful I was for his help with Ayden. I am so sorry to his family he was a wonderful man and I will forever be indebted to him for helping my child.
Freddy, it is so hard sitting here & knowing u are gone. Me & the kids miss u so much. We know u are in a better place. I thank God that he Blessed me with 14yrs to be with you & our kids. You are a true HERO & you knew that u were called by God to do the duties u have done & touched so many lives. You went out alot out alot of nights to help save lives & put out fires.
I thank God so much for u.
(In Memory... A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best
never a day goes by that you’re not in my heart and my soul.
R.I.P. LOVE YOUR WIFE, JANET & OUR KIDS

R.I.P. Freddy! He will be missed by his family, friends, & the whole community. Freddy wasn't just my neighbor, he was my friend/brother. Whenever we needed him, no matter the time or weather, he was there willing & ready to help in any way possible. I am deeply sadden by his death. My prayers, thoughts, & love go out to his entire family & friends. To his wife {Janet} & children: You know Im only a call or a few steps away if you need me. We will get through this by the grace of God! I love you all, Be Blessed, Love Lydia Barner
