Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 12, 2017.

Peter Fredericks, 62, of Merritt Island, and formerly of Plattsburg and Ogdensburg, NY, died on September 10, 2017, after a courageous battle against lung cancer.
He is survived by his wife of 37 years Mary (Carter) Fredericks; two daughters, Jennifer Nauman (Justin) and Jessica Fredericks; two grandchildren, Kennedy and Carter Nauman.
He is also survived by his in-laws, Herb and Kay Carter, his mother Mary K. Sheneman, sisters Mary Beth Johnson (Randy), Elaine Seymour (Bill), brothers Eugene (Shelley), Matthew, Jeff (Judy) and predeceased by his father Eugene, sister Jane and brother-in-law Mike Carter.

Mike and I were so sorry to hear that Pete had passed away. We meant Pete and Mary in Plattsburgh, NY and had the privilege of being their next door neighbors when are children were young and have stayed friends with them ever since. Peter was such a kind gentle soul and always was willing to help in any way he could. We will miss him greatly! Lots of love and prayers going to everyone in the family.
