Frederico

Posada

Frederico "Fred" Posada, or as known to many childhood friends and loved ones as Perica, of Harlingen, left to receive his eternal reward surrounded by family; Wednesday, October 18, 2023. Fred was born March 3, 1949, to Cosme and Maximina Posada in Harlingen, TX. He was the second youngest of 11 children. Growing up Fred spent time with his family as they would travel up north to work in the fields. Fred was a salesman all his life. He worked as a salesman with Hostess, Frito Lay, Pepsi, Hygieia, and Sears.  He could sale an ac unit to an Eskimo. Fred was also a provider. He showed his children how to provide for his family and what it meant to have a strong work ethic. Sick or hurt, Fred made it a point to be at work. Fred loved being outside working in his yard or making sure everyone's car was nice and clean. He loved listening to music, dancing, and playing his guitar, sometimes till all hours of the night. On Sundays, you could be sure to find him cheering on his Texans.  Fred took great pride in his children and grandchildren. He would take his kids and grandkids fishing, hunting or just to have a meal. Fred was a jokester, the life of the party, the one who was always ready to have a good time.

He is proceeded in death by his parents Cosme and Maximina Posada, brothers Juan Posada, Miguel Posada, sister Frances "Pancha" Gonzales, sister-in-law Maria Posada, and nephew Paul Michael Posada.

Those left to cherish his memories are his ex-wife and friend Elena, children; Ilene of Alvin, TX, Eugene (Lori) of Texas City, TX, Melissa (Tom) of Harlingen, Erik (Corissa) of Harlingen, and Jessica (Miguel) of Harlingen, Brothers Lupe (Sylvia) Posada of Primera, Armando (Yolanda) Posada of Primera, Ralph Posada of Primera, sister Nena (Joe) Valenzuela of Sugarland, as well as his many nieces and nephews, 10 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and countless friends he made over the years.

We would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Timothy Bothwell and Michele NP, the staff at Harlingen Nursing and Rehab where Fred became a resident in the past few years and who treated him like a member of the family. We appreciate all the love, kindness, and wonderful gestures you all extended to ensure he was cared for and loved till the very end.
