Fernando M. Ayala (Freddy) was born May 30, 1952 in Waco, TX. Freddy had several jobs and his last known was at a nursing home. If you knew Freddy, he knew no strangers. He would ask about your whole life story. He loved all his family and friends so much and was kind, generous and compassionate with everyone. Matt Schoeplein, one of his best friends who was like a brother, really had patience and love for Freddy who stood by and visited him until his last day.

Freddy is a big Dallas Cowboys fan and I'm sure he'll be watching from heaven. He would stop everything to go watch his Cowboys...loved his football games.
