It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Frederick William Sterling Jr., age 53, of Sackville, NB.  Fred passed away at the Moncton Hospital on Sunday August 7, 2022 with his family by his side.  Born in Windsor, ON, he was a son of Oressa Sterling, and the late Frederick Sterling Sr.

Fred graduated from Tantramar Regional High School and went on to attend NBCC's cooking program in Moncton.  He was previously employed with Mount Allison University and SUBWAY in Sackville where he became known as "SUBWAY Fred".

Fred enjoyed finding deals at yard sales, coin collecting as well as other collectible items.  In his younger years he loved fishing and camping.  Most recently he took great joy in feeding the birds in the yard.

Fred had a big heart, he was a caring and loving man who was affectionately known by all his nieces and nephews as Uncle Freddie.
