Fred was a former truck driver for Holland Enterprises, and an avid fan of Marvel comics/movies and Notre Dame football.

He was active in Boy Scouts of America until his high school graduation in 1995 from Calumet High School in Gary. Fred had a life-long illness that he never let hold him back or define his life, and was making plans for his homecoming and life with his wife the day he left this world. He married his love, Margaret (Maggie) Mathews on October 31, 2013, who survives. Other survivors include 2 daughters Briana Loomis of Alabama and Corin Loomis of LaPorte; one son Elijah Clarkson of Elwood; his father Frederick (Ruth) Loomis Jr. of Michigan; two sisters Anastasia and Kim; one brother Ricky; his grandmother Roberta Loomis of Griffith; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Fred was preceded in death by his mother Susan Loomis; one sister Amanda Loomis; one brother Jonathan Loomis; 2 grandfathers William H. Stone and Frederick Loomis Sr.; and one grandmother Betty Stone. Fred’s wishes were for his family and friends to celebrate his life just as he lived it. He wanted to be cremated, and a Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held at 3:00 PM CDT Sunday, October 31, 2021 at the new Clear Lake Bridge in LaPorte. Everyone whose life Fred touched is better for having known and loved him. He was an extraordinary man who will be truly missed.
