Frederick Splinter Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 21, 2025.
Frederick Paul Splinter, born on December 14, 1946, in Florida, passed away on August 31, 2025, in Athens, Texas. He was 78 years old.

His hands were rarely idle-he found joy and fulfillment in gardening and woodworking, pursuits that reflected his creativity and love for working with the natural world. Whether tending to a garden bed or crafting something from wood, Fred approached each task with care and dedication.

Fred believed in Jesus Christ and spent his life hoping to one day be reunited with his mother.

Fred is survived by his children Christopher, Daniel, Fred Jr., Jennifer, Joshua, Judith, and Natalie. He is also remembered by his siblings: brothers Chip and Tim, and sister Virgie. He was preceded in death by his mother Virgie, father Raymond, and brother Chris.

A Celebration of Life will be held on October 11, 2025, from 01:00 PM to 03:00 PM at St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica Day Chapel, 700 Jefferson St, Beaumont, TX, 77701.

Fred's family welcomes friends and family old and new to celebrate the life and memories of Fred Splinter.

Hello Fred,
Loved hanging around and getting to know you when you came to SoCal. I hope you are in a beautiful space now and have shed the burdens of this life. Until we meet again watch out for us, will you?
Thanks buddy,
Max

Hi Fred,
I have enjoyed knowing you for over forty years. Life was busy, but the times we were able to come to Texas and you made trips to California were always full of laughter and good times. Somehow we managed to pick up right where we left off from one visit to the next no matter how much time had passed. I hope in some way we can do that again.
Wishing you much peace and love,
David

Hi Fred,
I found you one of the nicest photos of Mom from her wedding day, July 31, 1943. I also came up with all of your school portraits from Grades 1 to 12, which you might not be so fond of. I thought they were important because I don't know if anyone else has a set of these to show your early years. Connections don't fade for old souls. Be there when it is my time to cross over.
Love you always,
Sissy

He raised some of my favorite people that are in our lives. They are all smart, driven and entrepreneurial very much like Fred was... His craftsmanship was beautiful and I hope he is enjoying his new spiritual life.
