Fredrick E. Sletvold, 72

Fredrick E. Sletvold died Feb. 21, 2025, from cancer at 72, almost 73, which he would’ve turned on March 19. He was born in North Dakota to Helmer Sletwold and Gladys Wilke March 19, 1952. 

His family moved to Montana where he went to school in Libby then later to Kalispell where he graduated from Flathead High School. He then joined the Navy where he trained to be a machinist. When he got out he came back to Kalispell for a short visit then moved to Hawail where he got a job fixing appliances and was flown into many of the Hawaii Islands to fix them. 

He made his home on a boat and lived there for the most of his life, then came back to Kalispell for the last of his days. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and the outdoors. 

Fred fell on some hard times in his last days and there are friends out there I would like to thank for helping him in his last days.

There will be a private scattering of ashes and a memorial on a later date this summer.
