    • Fred M. Hite

      Morganfield, KY

      Frederick Maurice Hite, 72, of Morganfield, KY died Sunday, April 24, 2016 at St. Mary's Hospital in Evansville, IN. Born Oct. 6, 1943 in Uniontown, KY, the fifth child of Parvin and Bernadette Hite, he was named Frederick by the nuns of nearby St. Agnes Church in honor of Saint Frederick. A 1961 graduate of St. Vincent Academy, Fred spent part of his early years working at his father's gas station in Morganfield and later worked as a carry out/stock boy at the Sureway in Morganfield before a local judge offered the option of "go to jail or go into the Army." As a member of the U.S. Army, Fred would spend part of the next four years along the Cambodian-Vietnamese border as part of the military's communications surveillance team.

      Soon after returning from Vietnam, Fred was initiated in September 1967 into the Local Iron Workers 103, based in Evansville, IN. During his time with the iron workers through the 1970s and 80s, Fred worked on the construction of the St. Louis Arch and spent nine years as the assistant to the business manager.

      In addition to his parents, Fred was also preceded in death by two brothers, Jerry and Ronald "Rock" Hite.

      Survivors include two sons, Robbie Hite & wife Amy of Jackson, TN, and Ryan Hite of Dallas, TX; two grandchildren, Tyler and Nathan Hite of Jackson, TN; a brother Jim Hite & his wife Pat of Bullard, TX; a sister Beverly Baczewski & her husband Victor of Summerfield, FL; and his companion of the past 15 years, Linda R. Banks of Morganfield, KY, and her children Michael Banks, of Belmont, NC, and Stacie Banks of Henderson, KY.

      A celebration of life service will be held at 10 AM Wed, April 27, 2016 at Whitsell Funeral Home in Morganfield, KY. Rev. Jerry Manning will officiate. Visitation will be 4-8 PM Tuesday and 9 AM until service time Wednesday at the funeral home. Burial will be in West KY Veterans Cemetery in Hopkinsville, KY. Memorials can be made to the American Heart Association.
