Fred S. Nieves, 94, of Santa Barbara passed away on Saturday Nov. 26, 2022. Fred was born to Juan and Carmen Nieves on March 14, 1928 in Carpinteria.
Fred lived his life with a smile on his face, a humble heart, and complete devotion and true love to his wife Virginia and his family.
Many knew Fred and loved him, from his years at Raytheon Technologies to his years of being the popular and very loved crossing guard at Monroe Elementary School. He was fun-loving, always willing to lend a hand, and had a smile that brightened any room.
Fred is survived by his wife Virginia of 66 years; his sons Richard and Robert Nieves of Santa Barbara; sister Francis Cerda of Carpinteria; granddaughters Crystal Godinez of Templeton California, Diana Martinez of Columbus, Indiana; grandson David Velasco of Las Vegas, Nevada; along with many great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
