Freddie Flowers was created because too often, we admire what has grown without acknowledging what or who has helped it grow.
Fred T. Stoner Sr. was a teacher, leader, mentor, and humanitarian whose influence reached far beyond his community—yet his name did not always travel as far as his impact. And he is not alone.
There are people in communities everywhere whose names may never travel as far as the impact they have made, yet their contributions live on in the people, places, and communities they helped shape.
Through Freddie Flowers, we show appreciation, give recognition, and honor the roots while they can still bear witness to the fruit of their labor.
“We spend so much time preparing beautiful words for funerals. Freddie Flowers exists to say those words sooner — while they can still be heard.”Shavon Stoner, Founder and Executive Director
