Fred Quigg

Fred Quigg of Crawfordville passed away on Sunday, September 24, 2023, at home surrounded by his loving family. Fred was born in Sopchoppy on October 14, 1938, the sixth child of Eddie and Montie Grimes Quigg. He was no stranger to hard work since he grew up on the family farm helping his Dad and siblings with farming, raising livestock, and beekeeping. He attended the Historic Sopchoppy School all 12 years, graduating in 1956. While in school, he played football, and was a member of the Future Farmers of America and Senior Chorus, as well as Senior Class President. After graduating he worked for a short period of time for a bakery in Tallahassee before becoming a surveyor for about 2 years for the Florida State Road Department. He then became employed as a Letter Carrier for the Tallahassee Postal Service, retiring on April 1, 1991, after 31 years of postal service. Fred was a charter member of Temple Baptist Church in Tallahassee before moving his membership to Sopchoppy First Baptist Church where he taught various Sunday School classes, beginning with junior high boys in 1974, then college and career and then senior ladies class. And at the same time helped his wife teach children’s church. In 1999 he and Callie joined Lake Ellen Baptist Church in Medart where he taught the senior men’s Sunday School class for many years before his health started failing. Fred was known as a “jack-of-all-trades” and could fix most anything. He could do carpentry, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, welding and all kinds of tractor work. In addition to dearly loving his family, he also loved tractors (especially old ones), Raisin Bran Crunch and anything lemon.
