Fredrick Griffin

April 29, 1945 — June 19, 2022

Fredrick Harold Griffin, 77, of Smelterville, ID, passed away on June 19, 2022 at the home of his daughter in Post Falls, ID. Fred was born on April 29, 1945 in Vancouver, WA, a son of the late Fredrick Harold Hermann and Rena Butterfield.

Fred married Janice Marlene Asche on August 9, 1974 at The Hitching Post in Coeur d’Alene, ID. Together they had three daughters, Heather, Holly, and Hilary. In 1988, Fred completed the automotive mechanic program at North Idaho College and also worked as a computer board printer.

He enjoyed reminiscing with friends and family about the “good old days” and in his later years, loved to go fishing. Fred was always working on old cars, and when he wasn’t doing that, he was poking around at the thrift store, whittling, and cross-stitching. Fred was also a collector of old guns and knives.

Survivors include his loving wife, Jan, of Smelterville, ID; three daughters, Heather (Mark) Freber of Smelterville, ID, Holly (Marc) Olson of Post Falls, ID, and Hilary (Travis) Guertin, also of Post Falls, ID; five grandchildren, Lakoda Griffin, Victoria Olson, Prestin Gibbs, Madison Gibbs, and Samuel Olson; a great-grandson, Bentley Griffin; two sisters, Midgette Moore and Nancy Scofield; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear friends.
