OBITUARY
 Fred
Posey, beloved husband, brother, and uncle, passed away on June 8, 2024,
at the age of 79. He was born on June 18, 1944, in Palestine, TX, to his
loving parents Roy Posey and Freida (Lawrence) Posey. Fred was a man of
unwavering faith, known for his deep love for the Lord from a young age.
At just 6 years old, Fred made the life-changing decision to follow
Jesus, setting the foundation for a lifetime dedicated to spreading love
and faith. His commitment to serving others led him to establish Walking
in Love Ministries as Missionaries in Eku, Nigeria, West Africa, where
he touched the lives of many with his message of compassion and
kindness.
Fred's faith guided him throughout his life, leading him to pursue a
higher calling to preach while still in high school. He continued his
journey by attending Southern Methodist University on a football
scholarship, ultimately earning a bachelor's degree in Business. Fred's
dedication to his work was evident in his years of service at Texas
Power and Light, where he made a lasting impact on his colleagues and
community.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Fred found his greatest
joy in his family. He shared 57 beautiful years of marriage with his
devoted wife, Mary Kay Posey, who stood by his side through thick and
thin. Fred is survived by his cherished sisters, Dorothy Jean Posey Ward
and Roxanna Posey, as well as his brother-in-law, Bill Howell, and a
host of nieces and nephews who adored him. He was preceded in death by
his parents and brother-in-law, Dan Howell.
Fred's life was characterized by his love for people and his unwavering
devotion to the Lord. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but
his legacy of faith and compassion will live on in the hearts of those
he touched.
