Frederick was preceded in death by his mom, Reverend Ruby Mills, his brother, Undrea M. Mathis, and sister-in-law, Sandra Wilson. 

At an early age, he received Christ and was baptized and became a member of New Enon Baptist Church. Frederick met the love of his life, Balinda E. Mills, 28 years ago in April of 1992. Frederick and Balinda joined in holy matrimony on September 18, 1999, in McDonough, Georgia. He was a devoted family man and all those who came in contact with him knew it.

In 1986, Frederick graduated from Morgan County High School, where he enjoyed playing all sports. When it came to playing football, he was the best running back ever. He joined the Army after high school. While in the Army, he worked as an administration specialist.

Later in life, he began working for Ivex, then moved on to start his career at Georgia Pacific, in Madison, Georgia. He was employed at Georgia Pacific for 32 years. Between his employment at Georgia Pacific and the Dallas Cowboys, his love ran deep. Frederick was a very proud man.
