Fred C. Fritts, 66, of Jacksonville, left this world too soon on Wednesday, May 6, 2020. He was born on September 2, 1953 to parents Bobby Gene and Bonnie Fritts in Carlisle, Arkansas.

Fred was the jokester, the story teller and the life of the party in his family. He earned his 300-bowling ring before any of his brothers (which they were never happy about), enjoyed fishing, drinking Budweiser and playing cards all night long – especially poker and spades. The one thing he loved more than anything else, though, was his wife, children and grandson.

Although we would prefer for Fred be here with us on Earth, we can be happy to know he is finally with the love of his life again, Karen Lynn Fritts, as well as his parents and his brothers, James William and Roger Glenn Fritts.

He leaves behind his children, TJ Fritts and Courtney (Derek) Day; his grandson, Lukas Day and several nieces, nephews and friends who will all miss him dearly.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a celebration of life for Fred will be held at a later date.  Arrangements by Moore's Jacksonville Funeral Home, 501-982-2136.
