Fred Bacon Stieg III

[Aggie]

Fred Bacon Stieg III, beloved husband, father, grandfather, nuclear Physicist and snazzy dresser drifted off this mortal coil on Saturday, November 30th, 2024.

Fred was born on April 4, 1940, in Yonkers, New York. He graduated from Annapolis Naval Academy in 1965. He had a lifelong love of learning and devoured as many new topics as possible to include the many years he spent obtaining several master’s degrees in Math, Electrical Engineering, Business Administration and his PhD in Physics. He also loved to share his knowledge with others and was a natural born teacher and leader.

Fred was a man of many talents. He loved to ride motorcycles, ride horses, ski, and even managed to shipwreck his boat on a deserted island once. He was a connoisseur of ice cream and passionately believed no dish should be served without salt! He was generous to a fault, a teddy bear at heart, yet he sugar-coated nothing. He had an overabundance of charisma, charm, corny jokes and feistiness.

Fred married his main squeeze Elizabeth over 40 years ago, with whom he is survived by, as well as his children Trixy Elizabeth Stieg, Aaron Frederick Stieg (Jennifer), and Joshua Santino Spatola. He was a proud Grandfather to his six grandchildren Aruna, Aaron, Colette, Anusha, Violette, and Aaralyn. He also leaves behind his fur babies Ziggy & Ruckus, with whom we all know he loved more than us.

Services will be held on January 10, 2024, at 1:45 at Riverside National Cemetery, 22495 Van Buren Blvd. Riverside, CA 92518.
