Begravelsesnotater:
Fremont Buchanan, 77, a longtime Sedro-Woolley resident passed away unexpectedly at his home on Friday September 16, 2005.
He was born on May 12, 1928 in East LaPort, North Carolina, the fourth of six children of John J. & Mary Jane Hooper Buchanan. He was raised and attended school in the Moses Creek area of North Carolina.
In 1945 at the age of 17 he enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving his country until the end of WW II.
In 1951 Fremont came to Skagit County and worked for the Scott Paper Company, starting a 38 year career as a diesel mechanic.
He met his soul mate in Joan Jensen, and they were united in marriage on June 25, 1955. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this past summer.
Fremont also hauled cattle and bulls for area farmers, taking them to breeding sites or to auctions and was known as the 'Bullman' to those in the industry.
He enjoyed being around his cattle, visiting with his many friends, taking horseback trips into the mountains to go hunting and fishing and had spent many a day in the North Cascades even before the highway was built.
He was a member of the United Lodge # 93 where he was a 32nd Degree Mason. He also belonged to the Calvary Baptist Church in Burlington, and his heart was always near the Moses Creek Baptist Church in North Carolina.
Fremont is survived by his wife of 50 years, Joan, at the family home in Sedro-Woolley; daughter, Julia Ann (Tony) Sosa, of Sedro Woolley; his son, Fremont Jeffrey (Julie Elizabeth) Buchanan, of Sedro-Woolley; grandchildren: Janel Woiwod, Eric, Renee, Jason & Geoffrey Buchanan; his great-granddaughter, Gracie Rose Woiwod, who has brought so much joy to his life; three brothers: John & Claude Buchanan, of Brevard, NC, and Huey Buchanan, of Cullowhee, NC; two sisters: Alice Morgan, of Klamath, CA and Barbara Payne, of Cape Coral, FL; and dear friends, Hod Wood, Doug & Stephanie Wood, Dan & Sherry Adams and Ann Leopard who was there when needed.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Jonathan Axel Buchanan in 1981; a great-granddaughter, Aubrey Rose Woiwod in 2003; and his parents-in-law, Axel & Phyllis Jensen.
