Frederick William Abshier, 88, of Anahuac, Texas died Monday, January 4, 2016 in Baytown, Texas.

He was born on January 30, 1927 in Hankamer, Texas to George William and Margretta Bernadina Christiansen Abshier. Fred was a lifelong resident of the Chambers County area, graduating from Anahuac High School Class of 1945. He was quite the athlete in high school active in football, basketball, baseball, tennis and later took up boxing in the military. Fred honored his country by serving in the United States Army. He was part of the WWII Occupational Forces during the Korean Conflict era.

After returning from the Army, Fred worked for the county in building the road down to Smith Point, then for a brief amount of time became a rice farmer.

When he realized the rice farming was not for him, Fred began working in at Texas Gulf Sulfur in their sulfur plants.

He was instrumental in building the Anahuac Wildlife Refuge. Fred eventually retired after twenty-two years from the Refuge where he was a heavy equipment operator, even contracting out his work with them following his retirement.

He was known as the king of the duck hunters around Chambers County and even held the Redfish record in High Island for quite some time. It was said that Fred could “judge good cattle” but definitely could not judge good horses. He was a member of the Sweet Home Baptist Church in Hankamer, the American Legion and the Anahuac FFA. Fred also was a member of the Cowboy Cookers, traveling around to school events in the Winnie, Double Bayou and Anahuac areas. They even participated in the Rice festival displaying passion and love for cooking fried fish and barbeque.

Fred was a character most of the time. He was known to most as the kindest man giving the shirt off his back, unique in his own ways, a cowboy and hell raiser, someone that never met a stranger. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Fred was preceded in death by his parents; his loving wife of sixty-one years, Mary Jean Abshier; his grandson, Joshua Abshier Cooley; and brothers, R.B. and Lee Abshier.

A age two he was he was putting Tinker Toys together and at three starting building things with an Erector set by looking at the pictures. In 1943 he was exposed to radio enough to make a lasting impression. He started repairing radios for people to earn extra money.

While growing up he tinkered with everything he could get his hands on. He started fixing anything from model airplane motors, motor bikes and finally automobiles. He had become an experienced mechanic and became married at 19 and soon afterward began a job with a crop dusting outfit.

He helped out local TV shop during the winter and stayed with it until color TV began to take over.
