Freddie's journey through education commenced within the halls of the Meridian Public Schools, where he was a 1982 graduate of Meridian High School. He furthered his education at Meridian Community College.

Freddie loved sports, especially football. He was an avid Los Angeles Rams fan. He also loved playing softball with many teams as a means to stay fit.
