I remember my Mom loving his music around 1975. He was on the radio all the time back in the 70’s. I think his daughter donated one of her kidneys to him a few years before he died.

He seemed a wonderful gentlemen. We need more like him💖

san benito is where i was born , still live here

I remember my two girlfriends from Corpus Christ, Texas. We skipped school and went to the Airport and met Freddy Fender coming off a flight and I got his autograph for my Mom, she loved his music in the70’s! He was so nice to us and gave me his autograph! Good Times!

I grew up with my parents listening to him, he had quite the voice & hair. Before the next teardrop falls & wasted days & wasted nights were my favorites. Thanks for showing this. So cool.

Thank You so much for sharing, I loved Freddy Fender music. I was fortunate to have met him in Tucson Arizona when he was starting his carrer, he was a GREAT , and he sat at my table and we talked for a little while

Also, Look up The Texas Tornados. Freddy, Doug Sahm, Augie Meyers and Flaco Jimenez. Great Texas music.

I met Freddy at the San Diego Airport around 1999-2000. He was waiting for the rest of the band to show up so I had about a 40 minute conversation with him. He was very nice and we talked about riding our Harleys. He talked about his Knucklehead Harley and how he loved to ride it. I was working in law enforcement at the airport at the time when I met him. He was a real down to earth guy and invited me and my fellow officer to be his guest that night at his performance at Pachanga Casino in Temecula. Unfortunately we both had to work early the next day so we just thanked him for his kind offer. Looking back I should had gone even though I would had been tired for work the next day. I missed a once in a lifetime chance. Freddy was much thinner than I had seen him on TV but I did not know he was sick at the time. Sorry that he passed he was a nice guy.

Thank you so much for the tour and remembering Freddie. In the 70's my dad's friend left an 8 track of him in his suburban & I fell in love with his music. I was such a fan my mother drove me from Dallas to Corsicana to see him perform, and I got an autograph with a pen a kept forever. His music always touched my heart❤

Thanks for sharing Freddy's resting place . Apreciate the respect you give him . R.I.H Freddy Fender 🙏

Freddy Fender always and forever played beautiful music. I loved his singing voice.

That colourful cemetery is beautiful and how cemetery s should be xx

I like this cemetery.. different that's for sure. 🖤

I love to see Colourful Cemetery's,it makes me think that people still remember their Loved ones ...

Wasted days and wasted nights. As soon as you said it I could hear the song in my head, he was all over the TV in the 70s. He had that awesome head of hair that made me think of a lion.

Lovely cemetery, so bright and decorated. Thanks for letting us see it.

Hi I really like Freddy fender and the way he sang his songs thanks

I loved Freddy Fender, "Before the next teardrop falls".

My mom loved Freddy Fender's music:) I like this cemetery> it has personality! Thanks for the video.

What a beautiful cemetery, another hit Rhetty. You & your family have a great Thanksgiving.

That cemetery is exactly like the cemeteries in Mexico, full of love.

Just when you said Freddy Fender his songs started playing in my head. I find it hard to believe that you were a boy back then, I thought you were closer to my age. On another note, the little church on that one grave reminded me of a spirit house. Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe and God bless.

I sure enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.

Freddy was very popular when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. Thank you for this video. My uncle is buried in the same cemetery as Freddy.

Yep, welcome to South Texas. He was a good friend of my Uncle's. RIP Freddy. ❤

Loved freddy he was one of the best. Greetings from anglesey north wales uk

that was nice. if you are ever in glen rose tx. look at squaw valley cemetery. keep up the good work!

thanks for all the good Memories Mr Freddy Fender my father was a gigantic Cuntry Western Fan and i grew up with his music and Charlie Pride playing on every car trip and every repair or project my Father and I worked on together in the Garage we built attached to our family home in South Florida BTW my Father had a nice singing voice and a general love of music when i was a young boy my Dad drove Classic Volkswagen Beetles and everywhere we went he would tap to the music with his left hand and aaron hanging out of the drivers side Window he did that so much on those Beetles that the roof would actually become dented where his fingers tapped on the Roof top above the door

love Freddy's sound and music fabulous singer

I talk to his son all the time. Wonderful man with a wonderful sense of humor.

I am sorry I haven't posted anything lately. My beloved brother was very ill and passed peacefully this morning. I just can't watch cemetery.

Love your music/songs; rest easy mr fender

I seen Freddy in the late 70's. I still love this man's music!

This is amazing.God bless you,Freddy Fender.Tony has spoken.

Gracias por mostrarnos donde descansan el señor Freddy Fender.

What a great memorial and grave. And what a neat cemetery. I really like that miniature church grave or crypt. Another very interesting grave tour, Rhetty! Hope you guys had a nice Thanksgiving!

One and Only Freddy Fender Respect to You Sadly missed R.I.P 🌷💗

Many years ago met and provided security for Freddie at an autograph signing session in Tucson. Such a nice and personable guy. I've been a fan every since. He stayed and met every fan that came out that day. I'll always cherish the memory.

With San Benito being so close to the border that cemetery resembles the ones in Mexico according to videos that I've seen. I didn't think "they" would allow those big head stones that take up so much room here in the United States !! I'd never seen a cemetery like that here.

Loved that man, i still have music from him.

You were excellent...vaya con dios Freddie...wish we are able to see you all again..it was.a.beautiful run with the music . Love and miss you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙋🏾‍♀️

That grave's more elaborate than most veteran's memorials.

That was so interesting & different Rhett i would love to visit somewhere like that thank you always great

What a beautiful memorial ! Loved his music! Beautiful voice!❤️ (No more spinning around please! I almost lost it!)

Very Good....

Oh my gosh, I didnt know Freddy had passed. It is so sad to find that out. What an awesome resting place for him. Also I saw you pass by quickly what looked like a bed. I wish you had told about it. What a nice resting place. These are very loved people. rip

very cool cemetery as well

I yes subscribe love the content

It looks so different from when I visited his grave before his museum opened. I hope to one day get to visit again. Till then I'm still freddysfan. Carole of New Orleans.

*Loved the little Church!*

Talk to his son all the time. If his dad had the same sense of humor - he was a blast

Freddy Fender was good

Hadn't heard of Freddy . I did do a search , and I did know some of his music. His grave marker is probably one of the coolest I've seen. Thanks for sharing as always.

I like that a real memorial place was made for him in eternal memory.🎸

He is my great Grama’s first cousin. She has always wanted to go back to Texas to visit his grave and her family that’s is there. Super cool to see it. I hope I can go to see the distant family I have

This was awesome to see I loved his music

Freddy Fender was popular with country and western music lovers in Australia during his time.

RIP Freddy.. You are not forgotten

El era y será el de REY de la canciones románticas , seguirá viviendo en nuestros corazones

The first time I heard teardrop I cried so hard. Since then I fell in love with him and after I googled him and found out he died, I cried all over again. May his soul rest in peace in our Lord JESUS CHRIST precious Name amen. GOD bless his family 🙏

Mexican/American cemeteries are pretty cool!

love Freddy Fender

I live right down the road from there. Welcome to san benito friend

I remember when he first came out in the 70s. At first I thought his songs were wack but them they grew on me My favorite one is the one where one of the lyrics is " just call my name and I will be there before the last teardrop fall. RIP

REST IN PEACE MY DEAREST FREDDY
