Frederick A. Petrovich, of Greensburg, passed peacefully on Monday, December 6, 2021 at the age of 70. He was born on July 24, 1951 in Latrobe. He is the son of the late Regis A. and Eleanor Peterson Neiman and his uncle Gene Peterson whom he loved dearly. He is survived by his devoted wife, Nancy Liddle Petrovich; his son, Anthony Petrovich; his step-son, Richard (Angie) Verbanick; step-daughter, Carrie (Tony) Verbanick Noll; and his grand-children, Jacob & Lucas Verbanick.

Fred was a truck driver for Ward Trucking and retired in 2015 after 27 years of service. His passion was music; he was a gifted musician and drummer who played in many bands over the course of his life. In his retirement, you would be able to see him and his lifelong, best-friend, Paul “T-Bird” Kettren play in their band “T-Bird & Freddie”. Many happy memories and friends were made listening to them at local establishments and wineries. He enjoyed model trains and built an elaborate model train layout in his basement. He also took great pride and loved being at home with his wife, his Camero SS, patriotism, and watching Steeler games.

Special thanks to those who lovingly cared for him, including the wonderful staff at Excela Health Westmoreland Hospital in Greensburg.

A celebration of his life will be held at a later date with family and friends. Entombment was held at Lebanon Chapel Mausoleum.

Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be sent to an organization that Fred gave to regularly: The Arbor Day Foundation, 211 N. 12^th Street Lincoln NE 68508 (1-888-448-7337).
