Fredrick Kuehl

Fredrick Earl Kuehl or as one of the many nicknames he had: the “Fredster”, “Fast Freddy,” “Skipper,” or “Earl,” age 46, of  Albert Lea, Minnesota, formerly of Garnavillo and Clayton, Iowa, passed away suddenly on May 16, 2017, at Sanford Sheldon Medical Center in Sheldon, Iowa. Fred was the son of Billy Ray and Barbara (Schlesselman) Kuehl. He was born on April 22, 1971, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. 

Fred grew up along the Mississippi river in Clayton, and attended Garnavillo High School. Throughout his life he had many odd jobs. All who knew Fred knew him to play more than he worked. Living much of his life around here, he enjoyed spending his time on the river, boating, hunting and fishing. He enjoyed classic cars, bowling, playing card games like euchre and poker, and spending time and causing trouble with his friends. 

Fred made countless memories by going to many concerts and on road trips with his friends and Erika. Going out to eat was something he liked to do with his all throughout his life.  

Those left to cherish his memory are his sister, Kimberly Kuehl, and niece, Kaitlyn Kuehl-Berns, both of Clayton, Iowa; special friend Dawn Hansen of Albert Lea, Minnesota; and many relatives and friends.

Fred joins into eternal life with his parents, Billy Ray and Barbara Kuehl, longtime companion, Erika Moser, and grandparents, Walter and Wanda James and Earl and Leta Kuehl
