Fred Werdehausen

Fred “Freddy” Conrad Werdehausen was surrounded by his loved ones when he left us to meet his creator on November, 21, 2022. He was born on January 23, 1938, in Meta, Missouri. Fred’s life represented his favorite suite of the deck, an Ace of Spades. The Ace of Spades signifies new beginnings, fresh starts, and serves to life as a reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always hope for a better tomorrow. Fred was the Patriarch of the family, the ultimate gambler of life, and wise beyond belief, he will be missed dearly. Fred founded Doolittle Trailer Manufacturing in 1978, and from there continued to build an amazing life and legacy which he left behind for generations to follow. Fred was an amazing Grandpa, a sincere father, and a reliable husband. Fred is survived by his wife, Dorothy J. Werdehausen; sons, Dennis Werdehausen, Kenny Werdehausen (Anita), and Bryan Werdehausen (Julie); grandchildren, Corey Werdehausen, Murphy Werdehausen, Avory Werdehausen, Kyle Werdehausen (Morgan), Chelsea Ruth (Caleb), Jennifer Werdehausen, Ryan Werdehausen (Jada), Travis Werdehausen (Nichole), and Kayla Morlock (Jeff); brother, Elmer Werdehausen; and sister, Marie White. Fred is also survived by 17 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Fred was preceded in death by his parents, George and Emma Werdehausen; brothers, Edward Werdehausen, Otto Werdehausen, John Werdehausen, Casper Werdehausen, Raymond Werdehausen, August Werdehausen; siste,r Katherine Hurst; and a daughter, Katherine Werdehausen.
