My prayers go out to the family during this very difficult time. He was such a good friend to me an always had a warm smile. He had such a big heart. Playing little league baseball through high school with Lil Freddy. He would make it between his shifts to come cheer us on. I can still hear his voice yelling come on wato get on base. An even if you struck out he had positive words. He was a very positive role model on the sidelines weather it was a lost or a win. I remember the impact he had on me as a child during Red Ribbon week an through JR. High an High School. He played such a major role in my life an many others. I truly lost a dear friend an I love you so much. You will be in my heart an prayers. R.I.P. Officer Dietz

My condolences to the Dietz family. I am currently retired from the Houston Police Department, but, back in the day, I was part of the State of Texas D.A.R.E. Training team that trained Freddy in his D.A.R.E. Officer Training School. My memories of Freddy are that he was a heck of a funny guy, but serious when it came to going back home and changing the lives of children In San Angelo! I am so glad to read in some of the articles and remembrances that Freddy is being remembered for his time in D.A.R.E. He made such a difference!! God bless him; he is free pain.
