He was born April 28, 1931, in Carl, Iowa, to Nathan and Elma Frederick. After graduating from Iowa State University, he worked as a soil scientist with the Soil Conservation Service with the USDA for more than 21 years prior to farming full-time near Springdale.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara (Hand) Frederick; children Nathan (Jackie) Frederick of Tipton, Becky Frederick of Iowa City, Matthew (Sharlyn) Frederick of St. Peter, Minn., David (Kathy) Frederick of West Branch; two sisters, Bonnie Bell of Kalona and Betty Jo Freereksen of South Haven, Mich. He was very proud of his 20 grandchildren and their many accomplishments.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Carl Frederick.

He enjoyed meeting his buddies for their weekly coffee time and will also be missed by his beloved dog, Sally.

In keeping with Wayne’s directives, he has deeded his body to scientific research at the University of Iowa and no services will be held.

A private memorial will take place at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to either the West Branch or West Liberty Fire and Rescue.
