Fred Ernest Fuger, age 82, of Blackfoot, passed away after a long struggle with Alzheimer's and heart failure.
He leaves behind Ava, his wife of 61 years and his four children: Steven (Gigi), Neil (Kelli), Holly (Jon), and Kyle (Kassy); as well as nine grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and two of his sisters - Joan and Rose.
Fred was a Space Tech. He was instrumental in re-engineering and testing spacecraft for lunar and space exploration, and he received many awards for that work.
He was also a carpenter who enjoyed scale model design and building, and his eye for detail also made him an art critic.
He spent eight years coordinating the construction of Bible Distribution Centers in five different countries, as well as teaching people to love and trust God's Word.
He is missed by those who worked with him, his family, and friends.
