Obituary of Frederick G Henderson

Frederick G. Henderson (Bud) went to be with his Lord on Sunday, April 5, 2020, in Punta Gorda, Florida. Fred was born August 25, 1932, on White’s Mountain, New Brunswick, Canada to the late George F. and Mabel D. (Goold) Henderson. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Mabel, his brother Robert, and his son, Mark G. Henderson. Fred is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Sharron (Levitt) Henderson, his children Pamela Luce (Robin), Jeff (Anne), Todd (Crystal), Mitchell, Christopher (Shanna), Erin, and KaCee; his siblings, Bernard, William, Vernon, Harold, and Serena; his grandchildren Ryan (Emily), Jared, Jordan (Holly), Caleb (Courtney), Zachary, Alex, Lauren, Lindsay (Steven), Ava, Briella, Ashley (Jeremy), Madison, Mitchell, Mark, Joshua, Tayler, MaKayla, JaLynne; great-grandchildren River, Emersyn, Oakley, Jameson, and Emery. Fred is a Veteran of the U.S. Airforce. Fred retired from Michigan State University in 1990, after 30 years of service. Fred was Chief Engineer of Instructional Broadcasting and Technical Services Director for WKAR. Fred will be remembered for a wonderful legacy of impacting the lives of family and friends, through his warm personality, wisdom, and steadfast integrity. Fred led by example and always let his words and actions speak for himself. His leadership, guidance, and love for all who knew him were what made him unique. Fred’s impact on the lives of all those who met and knew him, speaks of the lasting legacy he has left. Fred loved to travel and spent many summers with his family driving across the U.S. and Canada, early on with a camper, and later in a motorhome known as “The Hens Nest”. In more recent years Fred and Sharron enjoyed their summers at his property on White’s Mountain Canada, where they loved visiting with friends and relatives and enjoyed the lovely mountain view. Fred was involved throughout his adult life in things he knew he could impact and make a difference in the lives of others, always for the good. Fred will be deeply missed by his wife and family. There will be a warm reunion with his son Mark and loved ones, so we wait together until we can join them in a heavenly celebration. Donations can be made to the charity of your choice.
