Fred Douglas Dove, 56, passed away at home in Warrenton, Va. on January 18th 2021. Fred was born on June 11, 1964 to Fred E. and Mary L. Dove.

Anyone who knew Fred would say he loved to laugh, had a beautiful smile and bright blue eyes. During Fred's early years he worked many hours with his dad in the construction field. As years passed Fred became an outstanding carpenter and eventually started his own business, Dove's Handyman Service. When Fred wasn't working he was doing what he loved most, fishing and hunting. Fred, his dad and family would charter a boat, travel miles out in the bay and spend the day fishing, these are the days Fred lived for. No matter how cold it was Fred enjoyed deer hunting, he was most at peace when he was in the woods, sitting in his tree stand watching the wildlife play and waiting for the big one. While words cannot truly express our immense loss, Fred will always be remembered for the love he shared with those around him. Due to the pandemic an outdoor memorial service will take place at Stonewall Memorial Gardens on February 12th at 2:00pm, mask required.
