It is with heavy a heart that we announce the passing of William Scott Fredrickson, beloved husband, father, son, and friend, on December 5th, 2024, at the age of 65. Scott passed away peacefully in Brewster, WA after a battle with a failing liver due to cancer.
Scott was born on November 8th, 1959, in Moses Lake, WA to William Fredrickson (father) and Joy Olmsted (mother). He grew up in Western Washington and enlisted into the United States Navy in the late 1970's, where he developed a passion for cooking and a love for listening to music and attending concerts.
Beyond his enlistment in the Navy and following careers that included fishing from the waters off the coast of Alaska, being a lead chef in the Stehekin Valley then as a Class A Semitruck Driver, Scott was a man of great character and kindness. He was known for his generosity, sense of humor, and always putting others before himself. His love for his daughters was evident and he immensely enjoyed chatting with them and about them when he could.
Scott is survived by his wife, Melissa; his cherished daughters, Haylee and Morgan Fredrickson; his mother and dad, Joy and Keith Olmsted; as well as his devoted siblings and their spouses. Scott was predeceased by Noel Fredrickson, his beloved first wife and mother of his two beautiful daughters, as well as his father, William H. Fredrickson.
