The Folk Remember

The Ásatrú Folk Assembly is saddened by the passing of our brother, John “Fred” Kilpatrick of Kentucky. He departed Midgard to be with his ancestors June 8th. Fred had been a loyal member of the Ásatrú Folk Assembly since 2017.

He is survived by his domestic partner Sherry, son Kevin, and 2 granddaughters, Guthrun (2) and Thorra (10 months.) as well as his brother, Jerry.

Born to a preacher in Shreveport Louisiana, Fred grew up all over the state, before going to college and settling in Kentucky.

Fred had a PhD in Psychology as well as a BSEE in Engineering. He was also 5th Dan in Aikido, as well as Temple Guard in Kuta.

Fred was a dedicated Ásatrúar, a family man and our kinsman.

Cattle die, and kinsmen die

And so does one’s self die

But a noble name will never die

If good renown one gets
