Frederick Ose

Frederick Dean “Fred” Ose, age 58, of Crookston, MN, passed away on Monday, August 2, 2021, at his home with family by his side.

Frederick was born on September 4, 1962, in Spokane, WA, the son of Dean and Sydnee (Bambino) Ose, and was raised in Crookston, MN.  He attended Crookston Schools and after school he went straight to working.  He worked at various jobs across the US, including driving for his father and as a farmhand when he returned to Crookston working for Brekken Farms.

Fred was a dedicated family man.  He was married to Deborah Smart on July 8, 2006, and though he had no children of his own he helped to raise many of his grandchildren and was a devoted hands-on dad.  He helped raise Salome “Brandon” and Samuel Hinojosa and they turned out to be amazing young men.  He also loved tinkering in his man cave (garage) on motorcycles, cars, and snowmobiles.  While he was doing this the area could hear his love of music from AC/DC to Disco.

Fred is survived by his loving wife and partner, Deb Ose, sons/grandsons, Salome “Brandon” and Samuel Hinojosa, all of Crookston, MN; stepson, Orion Weiman; stepdaughter, Marie Summers Hileman; grandchildren, Dylan, Ashley, Andrew, Blake, and Shane; great-grandson, Brentley; parents, Dean and Sydnee Ose of Spokane, WA; sister, Cindy Ose of Spokane, WA; and brother, Dean Ose of Desert Palm Springs, CA.  He was preceded in death by grandparents, Einar and Alice Ose and Fred and Lucille Bambino; and stepdaughter, Deseree Jean Hileman.
