Freddie Wayne Hoy, age 74, of the Roaring Spring community of Trigg County, passed away on Monday, November 11, 2024, at his home.
He was born on July 7, 1950, in the small town of Munford, TN, one of eight children and the eldest son of the late R.C. and Virginia Smith Hoy. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by a sister, Patricia Roberts, and a brother, Billy Joe Hoy.
Freddie spent over 50 years at the helm of his own concrete construction business, a testament to his strong work ethic and dedication to his craft. He founded his business in his hometown of Munford and later relocated it to Clarksville, TN, during the 1980’s construction boom.

Freddie enjoyed cooking BBQ and was passionate about pulling horses and coon hunting, showcasing his strong pair of horses and his talented coon hound. He was also recognized as a skilled wheeler and dealer, always ready to make a trade or strike a deal.
