Fred was born in Columbus in 1947 to mother Leona Mae Kern and father Fred E Kern Jr, both deceased.

Fred spent his retirement golfing, rescuing feral cats, and bird watching from his favorite chair. He was also very active caring for a large yard and garden.
The family wishes to thank the army of doctors, nurses, and health professionals that enabled Fred to live his last years and days as actively as he always lived.
In accordance with Fred's wishes there will be no visiting hours or service. Donations to charity such as American Heart Association or cat welfare would be appreciated.
