Fredric Richard Ewing Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Fredrick Richard Ewing was born on March 8, 1919 in St. Louis, MO. He was a serious man full of one-liners and ironic observations. He had a handshake that taught you what respect was, and an affinity for sweets. He was a doting husband, and a loving father, step father and grandfather. He was a patient teacher, an illustrious storyteller and had a smile that made you feel welcomed. After spending some time in medical school, he left Tulane University and learned to fly planes. Joining the U.S. Army Corps in 1940, he spent his time in WWII and the Korean Conflict flying multiple kinds of aircraft. He left the United Stated Air Force in 1953. Fred proudly served on the school board while he worked in Human Resources for Mobil Oil. After 38 years, Fred retired from Mobil Oil and picked up a photography hobby-turned-career where he shot fashion photography for ten years with a portfolio that included Liz Claiborne, features in ‘Jill’ and ‘Teen’ magazines, and the Faberge Eggs. Fred met the love of his life, Lucille, in 1992. They were married in Lake Havasu City in April of 1994 and spent 25 wonderful years together. They have stayed active in their church, community, and grandchildren’s lives. Fred died peacefully at home on June 21, 2019 at the age of 100. He is survived by his four sons, six step children, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren from across the United States. A funeral mass will be held at Our Lady of the Lake Roman Catholic Church on Friday, July 5th 2019, at 10:00 AM. A graveside service with Military Honors will immediately follow at Lake Havasu Memorial Gardens. A reception will be held at our Lady of the Lake reception hall at noon. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Fred’s name to Hospice of Havasu. Thoughts and condolences can be sent to the Ewing family at mohavememorial.com
