Fred Smith Switzer, Jr.
Dearest Friends in Christ!
You may have already received the news that our faithful and loving servant Fred Switzer has transitioned from this world to his heavenly home yesterday afternoon, Thursday, October 29, 2020.
Fred joined First United Methodist – Taylor in 1975. He was not only active in the church, but held multiple roles and served in all of our church committees for many years, including Lay Leader and Lay Servant Speaker. He was truly a servant of Christ.
Let us give thanks to God for Fred’s life and the time we were privileged to know and serve alongside him. We are grateful and blessed to have known Fred and his faithfulness to his family, friends, community, and the church.
Please keep Fred’s family and many friends in your prayers.
