Fred was born June 23, 1951, in Beasley, Texas, to Frederico and Gabina (Flores) Lerma. Fred recently retired from AAFES after 15 years of service. He was a loyal husband, father, brother and friend.

He is survived by his son, Fred William Lee Lerma and wife, Kaci, and their children, Madisyn and Jackson; daughter, Jessica Lerma and her children, Roman, Sue'Riah, and Amero; sisters, Lupe Zinz, Juanita Gonzalez, and Rosita Casarez; brothers, Jesus, Richard, and Oscar and wife Eloisa; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Dear Freddy,
I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He was always so proud of you. I spoke to him only a few weeks ago and could hear the love in his voice when he spoke of his children and grandchildren.
I hope that you all can find comfort in your many fond memories of him.
May he rest in peace.
