Fred Dyess passed away peacefully on Sunday, Jan, 2 after battling Covid. We are still trying to grasp this realization as it happened so quickly. Fred loved Avondale Antiques, but mainly enjoyed the people he met and the conversations they had.

There will be a Celebration of Fred’s life on Saturday, Jan. 22 (11:00 am) at Avondale Antiques. Visitation will begin at 10:30.

Seth and I would like to thank all of you for the love and support you have given us during this time. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
