In Loving Memory of Fred

In Loving Memory of Fred

Driving fast and Turning Left


Slinger, WI January 26,2002, age 29 years.
Loving father of Kayla Christine Strobel.
Beloved son of Albert Strobel, Jr. and Karen Tronecker.
Dearest brother of Albert III ( Kimberly) and Russel (Connie) Strobel.
Proud uncle of Alexas, Nathan, Bradley and Mitchell.
Further survived by other relatives and many friends.

Usually at times like this we are unable to find words to express our most private feelings. Not now. There are a thousand words that come to mind about Fred. Funny, humorous, hardworking, dependable, compassionate, understanding. To some he was just Number 15, to others he was a friend, to us..family, a son, a brother, a father and an uncle. I still hear him laughing at some corny joke, I can see the joy in his eyes as he holds his daughter, I can still hear the anticipation in his voice as he rushes to put the finishing touches on the #15 on race day. I play memories of Freddie over and over in my mind. Let it be known that we could all learn from Fred, he loved his daughter, he followed his dreams of becoming a race car driver and he ran his own business successfully. He made a difference in the lives of everyone who knew him, especially children. I'm sure that what helped Fred obtain all of these goals and challenges in life was the love of his mother. Memories of Fred will make those he loved smile even on the saddest day. Fred Strobel earned his wings. So when a sudden breeze comes across the land, rustling through the trees and it touches you and me, that is Fred. Everyone who knew him loved and respected him. Always remember, never forget....drive fast and turn left.

I know you miss me mom and you cry your soul out everyday.
I know your world is empty and you're sad 'cause I've gone away.
I know I put a void in your life, But mom,
I'm in heaven and I see the light!

Please be happy, Mom, when you rise every morn
And rejoice the day i was born
And sleep peaceful When you lay down at night
'Cause, Mom, I'm in Heaven and I see the light!

The sky holds such beautiful things,
Like clouds and loved ones with angel wings.
Proving that God does take the BEST!
Our loved ones sit on the clouds above
Watching over us with all their love.
Sickness or accident took some away,
while others found it impossible to stay.
They released their pain into the sky
Leaving us to wonder why.

Fred and Kayla in 1998

You left us all very suddenly, shattered and beyond repair...
We knew you were sad but we could have been there....
We all came when you called and did what you wanted,
In the end it just wasn't enough to pull you back to us...

Our lives have changed now never to be the same,
My sorrow and grief is here, as I am,
For your brothers are still angry with you and said
That they just don't understand...

Your dad's grief is very deep but silent he stays...
and when he thinks no one is watching he also weeps

You have a beautiful daughter and we will keep your memory
alive for her, but it doesn't replace your hugs and kisses.

You had so much to live for but decided not to stay...
I know you continue to watch over us in your own way.
Your in our hearts and memories and our love will never die,
Until we meet again, my son, in that wonderful land in the sky.

We love and miss you forever and always.

To Daddy from Kayla

Daddy I miss you with all my heart
You were there for me from the start
every time I cry a tear,
I'm wishing you were here
I know you're with Grandpa Rod
Sharing heaven with God
If your time is ever free
please hurry back to me
Oh daddy, I hope you see
you will always mean the world to me
