Frederick Mesquit Obituary

Frederick Ellis Mesquit was born on June 11th, in Hollister, Ca. He died peacefully on September 8th, 2010, in Sierra Vista, Arizona. Fred graduated from Santa Maria High School in 1940, and married the love of his life, Jeanne Johnson on July 3, 1943. He proudly served his country in the Army during world war II from Oct. 20, 1942 to Dec. 12, 1945.
Looking for a better life, Fred moved his family to Apple Valley, Ca. in 1956, where he continued his career as the best salesman in town. His business, Mesquit's Vacuums grew, as did his family. Fred was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather preceded in death by his beautiful wife Jeanne. He is survived by a wonderful family that will miss him tremendously. Fred is survived by one sister, Leola Rush of Medford, Or. " Dad " leaves four sons and their families; Freddie & Glenda of Louisville, Ky., Don & Sharon of Yucca Valley, Ca., Mike & Sherrie of Apple Valley, Ca., and Bob & Terri of Bisbee, Az. He leaves two daughters and their families; Linda & George Vasquez of Apple Valley, Ca., and Michelle & Art Gerardo of Apple Valley, Ca. " Grampa " will also be missed by his twenty-five grandchildren and great grandchildren!
Fred's love for his family, good music and good food, along with his great personality and sense of humor made him such an inspiration to anyone who knew him.
We're celebrating dad's life with a memorial service on Sept. 25th, 2010, at 1:00 p.m. at the Desert View Memorial Park Chapel, Victorville, Ca. Please join us on this special day.

May the God of all Comfort be with you and your entire family at this time of great sorrow. Our hearts and prayers are with you all too. We can find much refreshment for our souls when we read God's Word. The Bible shows that God truly cares for EACH one of us and as John 3:16 shows, we even have hope of everlasting life. One day very soon God promises to do away with all the sickness and sorrow we feel. We pray for this each time we say the Lord's Prayer found at Matthew 6:9,10, asking, "Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in Heaven, also upon the earth." May you enjoy many memories too of such a dear, loving man. With our love and friendship, Mike & Lydia Montross
