Frederick Aaron "Fred" Struckmann

Frederick Aaron Struckmann, age 55, received his wings on January 15, 2026 while surrounded by loved ones.

Fred was born the third son to Gary and Sandra Struckmann of Pine Island, MN. Fred fit in well with siblings, grew up enjoying many adventures, and graduated from Pine Island High School in 1989.

Fred was real. He did not mess around but got straight to the point so you always knew where you stood with him.

Fred was a doer. He cared about the quality of the final project that he was a part of, whether it was autobody work, bartending, roofing, wiring, plumbing, construction, supervising window construction, carpentry, driving truck, wrenching on cars, and of course, helping friends get out of the ditch!

Fred enjoyed many things in his life. Vikings, fishing, hunting with his Dad and brothers, dogs (maybe even the cat but he would not say so!!) Fred also had an Airstream camper and enjoyed seasonal camping with Stacy for many years.

Fred loved deeply. If you were on the receiving end of that love, you were the lucky one. We will miss his hugs!

Fred is survived by his lifelong love Stacy, mother Sandy, brothers Phil (Kathy) and Matt. Step-children Heather and Jake (Candace), 5 grandchildren, numerous nieces/nephews, aunts/uncles, and cousins.

Fred is preceded in death by paternal/maternal grandparents, father Gary, brother Dennis, sister Annette, friend Travis, and father-in-law Emory.

Thank you to City of Hope doctors, nurses, and all staff. Each and every one of you were so helpful each time Fred was there. Thank you to St. Croix Hospice for understanding what was needed for his journey to be comfortable. Thank you to Rochester Cremation Services for being there.
