Freddie Howard "Fred" McCain

1940 - 2009

GORDONVILLE - Memorial Services for Freddie Howard "Fred" McCain, 68, will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2009 at Meador Funeral Home Chapel in Whitesboro with Rev. Wendyl Glenn of Sherwood Shores Baptist Church officiating.
Fred passed away on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009 at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas after a painful battle with heart disease.
He was born on Dec. 29, 1940 in Denton County, and married Mary Lynn Forester on July 8, 1961. Their union lasted 48 years until his death. They were the loves of each others lives.
Through the 1970s and early 1980s, Fred owned and successfully operated Fred's Body Shop in Denton. He was very active in the community, sponsoring several championship men's and women's softball teams.
He was saved and then baptized by Bro. Lester Singleton at Central Baptist Church in Denton, where he and his wife, Mary Lynn, served the Lord for many years as youth directors, touching many young people's lives. Their daughters, Rena and Toni were also saved and baptized during this time.
In the late 80s, Fred started his second career as an insurance adjuster for USAA Insurance. He retired in 2003 after 15 years of dedicated service.
Throughout Fred's life, he always worked hard to provide for his family who loved him deeply. We now feel comfort in the knowledge that he is no longer in pain and has gone to be with the Lord who also loves him deeply. We will miss him terribly and he will forever be in our hearts.
Surviving him are his wife, Mary Lynn McCain of Gordonville; a daughter, Rena McCain McAdams and husband, Alan of Whitesboro; grandchildren, Trevor and Tayler McAdams; and two aunts, Gwen Snider and Lois Coss of Denton.
He was preceded in death by a daughter, Toni Denise McCain.
