Carey Fredrick Sparks Jr. age 57, of Quinlan, TX passed away March 19,2023.  He was born  October 28, 1965, in Dallas, TX, to Carey Fredrick Sparks Sr. and Betty Elaine (Boles) Sparks.

Fred was an extremely hard worker all his life.  His love for big trucks and heavy equipment started at a very young age.  Fred and his dad were very close, and he taught him all that he knew, and Fred was more than eager to learn.

Fred was a good and loyal friend to everyone.  If anyone needed help, he was there for them.

Fred loved and adored his family and his dogs. His dogs were his family as well. When new puppies arrived, he couldn’t part with them.  He would say to Julie, “how could you?!”, if she even suggested finding new homes for them.

Fred is survived by his wife: Julie of Quinlan, TX; daughter: Randi Sparks of Fayetteville, AR, son: Connor Jensen of Quinlan; brothers: Kenneth Sparks of Lawton, OK and Raymond (Pat) Sparks of Terrell, TX; sisters: Kathy (Charles) Castleberry of Mineola, TX; Debra (Ray) Wells of Rowlett, TX and Patsy Marshall of East Tawakoni, TX.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Betty Sparks, his brother Johnny Mosley, sister, Evelyn Mosley, sister-in-law Melissa Sparks and brother-in-law Bill Marshall, and nephew Derek Wells.

Fred will be sorely missed and forever remembered, by his loving family and friends. A Celebration of Life Service, will be held at 1:00pm at First Baptist Church in Terrell, Texas on March 25, 2023.
