It is with deep sadness, and also deep gratitude for a life well lived, that we share the passing of Fredrick Carlyle Roberts III who died peacefully on December 20, 2025 at the age of 90.
Fred was a well-known and deeply loved member of the Patagonia community. Over the years, he formed many friendships and connections, leaving a lasting impression through his wit, intelligence, strong opinions and unmistakable presence. Patagonia was not just where Fred lived—it was where he belonged, and where his life was woven into the fabric of the community.
Fred lived life on his own terms and remained true to himself until the very end. His final days were calm and peaceful, marked by dignity and care. Those who knew him will remember his sharp mind, his stories, his humor, and the authenticity with which he moved through the world.
