Fredric (Fred) Herbert West was born July 16, 1952, in Berryville to Herbert and Freddie (Gensman) West. Fred went to be with the Lord February 13, 2023, in Springdale at the age of 70.
Fred was a member of First Christian Church in Berryville, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Carroll County Country Club (where he was best known for his Razorback golf cart) and Bobcat Booster Club. He had a long career in banking at First National Bank of Berryville, where he formed countless lasting friendships with co-workers and customers. He was also well known at the bank for taking every opportunity to put on a fun costume, one of the many ways that he made people smile.
He was an avid sports fan, especially for the Razorbacks and Bobcats. He also enjoyed canoeing, _shing, cycling, and loved running before he had knee issues. But above all else, Fred was a man dedicated to his family, never missing an opportunity to spend time with his children and grandchildren – nothing on the planet brought him more joy than just being with them.
He is survived by his children, Savannah Goodall and husband Chris of Springdale, Dr. Georey West and wife Brittany of Berryville, Amy Ary and husband Blake of Berryville; brother, Brooke West and wife Linda of Berryville; sisters, Louise Rusterholz and husband Don of Berryville, Ginger Jeeries and husband Hardie of Fort Smith; sister-in-law, Elaine West of Berryville; grandchildren, Cole Parton, Addison Ary, Gavin West, Beau West, Beckham West; nine nieces and nephews along with many other family members and friends.
