Frederick “Fred” Keith Fey Jr, age 71 of Auburn, NY, passed on the morning of May 1st in his sleep. Fred was a free spirit born on April 16, 1952. He grew up in the Onondaga Hill area and attended Onondaga Central Schools. Anyone who knew Fred, knew he danced to the beat of his own drum. He embodied the counterculture of the 1960s, spending time in the Haight-Ashbury district of California and attending Woodstock. Fred loved music, with a particular preference for any kind of rock music. Fred was a talented artist. He could carve anything out of a hunk of wood while his partner, Jeanie, painted the details.
For more than 30 years, Fred’s partner Jeanie had the task of keeping him somewhat in line. He loved her with his whole heart and was heartbroken after her passing last December. Fred was also predeceased by his daughter Larissa Fey, father Fred Fey, mother Trudy Llewellyn, stepmother Shirley Fey and sisters Michelle and Tina Fey. He is survived by his siblings Rebecca Fey, Daniel (Robin) Fey, Tim Fey; his Aunt Genevieve Savey, six nieces, three great grand nieces (and another on the way), four great grand nephews, Jean’s granddaughters, his best friend Dutch, and many more dear friends.
Services will be held at the White Chapel Funeral Home located at 197 South Auburn St, Auburn, NY 13021 on Friday, May 12, 2023. Calling hours will be from 2 to 4pm, funeral service to follow at 4pm.
