Freddie Ray Blevins

Marion, Va.

Freddie Ray Blevins age 75, passed away December 24, 2023 at his home.

There is not enough ink or paper to write the good things of Freddie. He had his priorities straight: God, family and country. He was a proud Vietnam Marine Veteran, loving husband to Cathy for 54 years and a best friend, dad and papaw. Freddie was the most humble and kind person you would find, always smiling and caring. If you wanted to be where the fun was, it was with Freddie, typically a house full of kids who he cared for as his own. He loved being with family, hunting and fishing, he even took Cathy once. There will never be another Freddie Ray Blevins. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Tracy and Helen Blevins and sister, Mary Etta Nicholson.
