October 6, 1943 – August 4, 2022
Dr. Paul K. Frederick, 78, passed away August 4, 2022, surrounded by his family. He was born to Kenneth Frederick and Eleanor (Loudon) Frederick in Lake Forest, Illinois on October 6, 1943.
Paul graduated from Grinnell College in Iowa before attending medical school at Albany Medical College. He arrived at Indiana University in 1969 where he completed an internal medicine residency and a two-year fellowship in gastroenterology. Paul was a founding member of Indiana Gastroenterology, which was established in 1975. He also practiced medicine at Riverview Hospital in Noblesville and St. Vincent Hospital in Carmel and Indianapolis.
Paul moved to Westfield in 1980 when he married Judy in the back pasture of the home where they lived and loved for 42 years. Paul’s passion was practicing medicine and he was truly sad to retire after 53 years. In his free time, he enjoyed gardening and excelled at tomatoes. He was an avid sports fan and never missed the Hoosiers, the Colts, or the Cubs. Paul was a proud pet dad to Rusty and Bowie. He cooked a mean trash can turkey, was a big fan of Diet Coke, loved every show on the ION network and was always up for his favorite dessert, a peanut buster parfait.
Paul will be dearly missed by his loving wife and best friend, Judy. He will forever remain in the hearts and minds of his children, Kim (Darren), Kelli (Scott), Kirstie, Colby (Precilla) and Gary (Kelly); as well as his grandchildren, Elias, Taylor, Jacob, Irie, Dane, Charlie, Bo and Finn. Paul is also survived by his brother Eric.
In addition to his parents, Paul was preceded in death by his brother, Mark, who passed away in 2021.
A memorial visitation will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 13, 2022, at Randall and Roberts Funeral Center, 1685 Westfield Road, Noblesville.
