Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Didn’t really get to know the Tom Fradet, but I knew him as a little kid. His mom, Patty, was my wife’s maid of honor and thus Tom was at our wedding.

    Our condolences and prayers go out to all of his family and friends.

  2. I got to meet Tommy(Red) through my daughter and son inlaw who is a member of the Apathy MC. What times we talked at events he was a really nice guy. He will be riding his Motorcycle on the Stairway to heaven.

  3. I will always remember Tommy as the dorky little brother that wore braces bugged the absolute crap out of his sister on the bus.
    He was a good guy and will be missed by many.

  4. You will be greatly missed. So many memories of you from when I lived at the farm, and what a delight when I moved to West Fargo and got to see you quite often again…and always with a
    Hug. My family was truly blessed to have known you and have you in our lives.

  5. Tommy was such a good person through school and after. He was like one more son as hung with my two boys so much. He was a good friend and always there to lend a hand.

    He will be so deeply missed by myself, my son’s and oh so many other.

    My deepest condolences.

  6. Deepest condolences to Tommy’s family and friends. I knew him from King Bay. I actually went with Tommy to get my first tattoo. He was getting the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima. I have other memories of him to cherish. I’m blessed to be able to call him a friend.

  7. So sorry to the family for this tragic loss. So many memories to think of! Tommy will be missed by so many! He truly was one of a kind! Always there when you needed him, fly high my friend!

  11. Patty, I’m so sorry to hear of Tommy’s passing. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

  12. We met Tommy at our daughter, Kandra and Jesse’s wedding, July 2015. We knew Tommy had a big heart and a lot of love for children when we watched him dance with our six year old niece while she was standing on his toes the entire song.

    We are so sorry for this heartbreaking loss. Our most sincere condolences and prayers go out to Tommy’s entire family and friends. May God bless you with comfort during this difficult time.

  13. Patty and Family,
    No words adequately express my sympathy for your loss. Many thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and going forward to the future. May God provide you with comfort in your sorrow.

  14. What a remarkable young man. In every aspect of life he truly exemplified the highest standards of being a Marine. We shared crayons, patches and vest extenders for our cuts. We also shared great times together whether it was at our clubhouse, on the bike, or most recently in Minot celebrating the 10th anniversary of AOMC in Minot.

    I’ll leave the couch open for you Devil Dog! Love you Brother!

  15. Patty and family, Martin shared Tom’s obituary with us. We wanted you to know we are thinking about you and send Love and Light. Butch and Sue

  16. We met Tommy at Kandra and Jesse’s wedding. He danced a lot with our little 6 yr. old granddaughter and she enjoyed every minute of it. Very nice guy. We are Kandra’s grandparents, Paul and Shirley Sauer.
    We offer our condolences to all the family and our prayers.

  17. Scott & Family, we are very sorry to hear of your terrible loss. Our thoughts are with you. Maree Lou Larson and family

  19. I am thinking of you all. I have fond memories of Tommy from when he was in HS. He did a great job in the video productions class. He’s been on my mind since reading the news on Wednesday night. Please know I am sending you love and prayers at this time.

  20. Scott, Patty, Jenny and Louise and families; my heart goes out to all of you! Terrible things like this shouldn’t happen. I always thought a lot of Tom. God be with you all and peace be to Tom! 🥰❤️🙏

  21. May you forever be riding the golden paved roads above and watching those who ride down here missing you everyday.

  22. My deepest sympathies to you Patty, and all of Tom’s family. It is so difficult to bury your child, no matter the age. Though I did not know Tom it is obvious to me that he touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed. Thank you for your service Tom and Semper Fi.
