To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant; and a time to pluck up that which is planted.

A TIME TO BE BORN

Frederick Alexander Bain was born into this world on September 21,1972 on the island of West End, Grand Bahama, born to the late Frederick Bain of Turks and Caicos and Cynthia Clarke of Jamaica. Frederick was affectionately called " Fred" or "Freddie".

A TIME TO LEARN

Freddie received his early education at Lewis Yard Primary School (Freeport, Bahamas) where he excelled and won many Spelling Bee competitions. He then continued his education at the number one school in Freeport, Grand Bahama attending Hawksbill Senior High where he was recognized as an outstanding athlete both track and field.

On February 9,1986 Freddie along with his family migrated to Miami, Florida and he continued his education attending Ponce De Leon and later graduating from Coral Gables Senior High School.

A TIME TO WORK

Freddie worked as a Security Officer for over 20 years. His Supervisor Juan said that "Fred was the most dedicated, hardworking and dependable" employee he had ever had on his team. However, due to illness in March 2017 Freddie had no choice but to resign from a job he loved.

A TIME TO LAUGH

Freddie loved movies and music! He was most happy when he was able to share what movies or television shows he liked or wanted you to watch, or he would call you on the phone just to play a song he liked while giggling the entire time.

A TIME TO SERVE THE LORD

"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

Freddie attended Trinity Church of Miami. Before his passing, Freddie wholeheartedly and humbly repented his ways and seeked God's forgiveness. He would often sit for hours in devotion with his neighbor and friend discussing the goodness of God. His favorite books in the Bible were Genesis (The Beginning) and Revelations (The End).

A TIME TO DIE

In the early morning of September 26, 2021, Freddie was rushed to the hospital after suffering a massive stroke. He would remain in the hospital on life support, unresponsive for the next 5 days until on October 2, 2021, God looked down and saw a blooming rose that would fill his Heavenly Garden and called him home to take his eternal rest. His memories will live on in the lives of those whom he shared tremendous joy with.
