Celebrating the Life of Fred Canaday

Saturday, August 22, 2026, 1:00 pm

With sadness, but also with the hope we have in Christ, we invite our Grace family to join Wanda and the Canaday family as we gather to remember and celebrate the life of Fred Canaday.

Fred was a beloved part of the Grace family for many years. He served faithfully, loved deeply, and leaves behind a legacy of faith and service that has touched our church and so many who knew him.

As Wanda and the family walk through these difficult days, your presence, prayers, and love are a beautiful way for us to surround them as the body of Christ.

A Life of Faith, Love & Service

Although my own time knowing Fred was much too short, I am incredibly grateful that God allowed our paths to cross.

Fred made an impression on me that I will not forget. His faith, his humor, his servant's heart, and especially the love he had for Wanda and his family touched my life.

It will be a tremendous honor to join Rev. Dr. Meg Bellows in celebrating Fred's life and proclaiming the Christian hope that was so central to his faith.

Please continue to hold Wanda, their family, and all who loved Fred close in prayer in the days ahead.

In Christ,

Pastor Lisa
