Fred Voss

Fred W. Voss, 75, who loved big and laughed hard, died peacefully at home in Louisville, KY, surrounded by his family, on May 2, 2025.

"Freddy" and Debbie (Clements) were married for 47 years, and together they built a family rooted in boundless affection for one another. He was an incredibly proud father, and his enthusiasm for his four children was infectious; whatever they might do throughout their lives, he would proclaim it "incredible", "the best", "unusually good", or "out of this world". He loved them fiercely and without reservation.

Freddy believed that a handshake was forever, that arriving on time meant you were 10 minutes late, that Lake Cumberland was a magical place, that you measure twice and cut once, that good music was among the most important things in life, and that friendships last a lifetime.

Whatever task lay before him, from lending a hand on home improvement projects to mending broken hearts, Freddy approached it with passion, honor, and his absolute fullest effort. His laugh was among the most genuinely joyful sounds to be heard. Above all, Freddy Voss loved unconditionally.

Fred is survived by his wife Debbie; his children Abby Turnier (Steve), Lucas (Hannah), Alex McCoy (Eric) and Becca Faubel (Mark); grandchildren Eden, Sylvia, Maddox, Ethan, Isla, Noelle, Forrest, and Boone; four sisters, his nieces and nephews, and more friends than we can count.

A celebration of Freddy's life will be held at the Peterson - Dumesnil House, 301 S. Peterson Ave, on Thursday May 15, 4:30 - 7:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a gift in Fred's name to the Children's Tumor Foundation, Mail Code 6895, PO Box 7247, Philadelphia, PA 19170-0001.
