Fred was born on July 7, 1934, in Cleburne, Texas to Ward and Alice Buchanan. He married Carol Wheeler on July 28, 1961 and together had one son, Bryan. Fred proudly served his country in the U.S. Army and served in Germany. He began his working career on the Santa Fe Railroad and later as a draftsman for Tri-County Electric for 22 years. He was a long-time member of North Main Church of Christ in Weatherford and was an active participant of the men’s prayer group – The ROMEO Club (Retired Old Men Eating Out). Fred was an avid reader, enjoyed doing cross-stitch, and was an avid railroad fan. Most of all, Fred cherished time spent with his beloved family.
