Read More	Frederick John Graber was born to John P. and Velda (Schrag) Graber on August 2, 1951 at Sioux Valley Hospital. He was called peacefully to his heavenly home on March 18, 2016 at the Dougherty Hospice House, surrounded by Lucille, Charles, and Richard. Fred passed away at the age of 64 from kidney failure and respiratory complications. Fred’s education consisted of attending Hillside Country School #92 and Freeman Academy. After his graduation in 1969 his decision to continue his education took him to Mitchell Vo-Tech to enroll in the two year Ag-Farming program. Fred was an only child and was raised in a loving home. His parents taught him the importance of church attendance and Christian values. Upon his confession of faith, he was baptized at Salem Mennonite Church by Wilfred Ulrich on September 9, 1968. Fred remained a lifelong member of Salem Mennonite Church, serving the church as an usher and on the grounds committee. Fred also worked on numerous Mennonite Disaster Service projects and making sausage at Schmeckfest. At the age of five Fred began driving his Farmall B tractor, thus creating his lifelong passion and love for red tractors. Hard work was no stranger to Fred. At an early age he was taught to help with the field work and do chores. When farmers in the area needed help, they could count on Fred. For 22 years he operated the road grader for the township. Fred’s love of animals was most evident by his special bonds he made with his dogs over the years. Most recently he loved to spend time with Chewy, who loved riding along with Fred in the Polaris and playing with Squish, Charles and Megan’s dog. On November 4, 1989, Fred married Lucille E. Glanzer. God blessed them with two sons, Charles and Richard. Together the family shared the joys and sorrows of life. One of those special joys was celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary with family and friends. Last November, Fred and Lucille celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary. Lucille was the love of his life. Fred enjoyed canning and helping Lucille in the kitchen. They enjoyed working together on the farm. Throughout their years, Lucille stood by him, with encouragement and assistance, as did many neighbors and friends. Life has not always been easy for Fred, especially in recent years. As his health continued to fail, he faced the challenges by trusting God to face each situation, and wisdom for decisions. To all those who knew and loved him, he will be missed, but rejoice that he is free from the pain and suffering of this life and with his Lord and Savior and with those who have gone before. Those remaining are his wife, Lucille, sons, Charles of Sioux Falls, SD and Richard of Yankton, SD. His aunt Loreene Schrag of Carpenter, Iowa; brothers-in-law, Marvin (DeLila) Glanzer of Woodstock, Georgia; and Clifford (Donna) Glanzer of Wolsey, SD. Also many nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of friends. Preceding him in death are his parents, John P. and Velda (Schrag) Graber, his father and mother in-law, Sam E. and Sarah (Tschetter) Glanzer and a sister-in-law, Madelyn (Glanzer) Glanzer.
