Memorial Held To Remember Gregory Fredericksen

Posted:

By Jon Berg - email

More than a week after Gregory Fredericksen jumped off of the Railroad bridge, friends and family gather to remember him.

Hundreds came out to the river tonight, just yards away from the railroad bridge.

Friends and family shared stories about Greg, everything from how he was so smart when it came to technology, to talking about how much food he could eat.

It was a time of sadness and happiness as they remembered him.

At the end of Thursday night's service, many sent balloons up in the sky and sent flowers and candles into the river.

"It was really amazing we expected a lot of people, we knew a lot of the people so, so much more here that cared for him and just loved him, and we're so happy they all came, we had a lot of people put in for this you know hu hot, they would call him his hu hot family," Jennifer Fredericksen said.
