Freddie Allen Edwards was #37 with the University of Texas Longhorns and #35 with the Donna Redskins. Butch or Flex left this world to begin his new journey with his Lord on April 13, 2020.
Remaining to cherish his memory, Fred is survived by his wife, Lisa Edwards, of Paige, TX; his ex-wife, Ida Edwards of Austin; his daughter, Traci Lynn Edwards of New York City; stepson Michael Wayne Johnson and wife Bee Gee of Austin; sister, Linda Jo Edwards of Bryan, TX, who watched over him daily; brother, Art Edwards, and wife Carleen of Florida; 6 grandchildren – Joshua Johnson, Caleb Johnson, Jordan Johnson, Aaron Johnson, Joseph Johnson, and Mary Jane Johnson of Austin; niece Dr. Brenda Kocman and husband Michael, along with daughter Denae of Bryan, TX; nephews Arthur Kaml of Bryan, TX, and Keith and Carl Edwards of Florida.
Due to our present situation with social distancing, there are no plans for a memorial service at this time. Fred made previous arrangements for his body to be donated for research purposes to the University of Texas Health Center. He had been battling with CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) for a while. It is a neurodegenerative disease caused by head injuries.
