Frederick Paul Joyce Jr. (64) passed away peacefully on January 7th, 2023, with his family lovingly by his side.

Born August 13th, 1958 to Marguerite and Frederick Joyce Sr., Fred lived his rambunctious young life in Boxborough, MA with his three siblings Timothy, Christine, and Lisa, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends nearby.

Family vacations up at “camp” in Meredith, NH led to a love of the Lakes Region and the friends he found there. It was there that he and Cynda Warren Joyce had their two children Melissa Joyce and Frederick Paul Joyce III. Forever proud of his children, touting them as “his greatest accomplishments,” they both found their own families in Dream Joyce and Ian Demers, respectfully. Fred was joyfully “Poppy” to Fred III and Dream’s two beautiful girls Magnolia and Callalily, loving them greater than he ever imagined possible.

Fred was strong willed and stubborn at times, but he also had an enormous heart and wonderful sense of humor. He was generous, loyal, and brave. He was clever and full to the brim with knowledge gained through all of his life experiences: mechanic, firefighter, fisherman, contractor- he could fix or build anything.

He will be remembered for all the heart he shared with his friends and family. He truly loved each of them- and if you knew him, you knew it. When his time came, he carried himself with dignity, strength, and full of love for those who went before him. He will be missed dearly.

In typical Fred fashion, there are no services planned, certainly no pomp and circumstance. A celebration of life will occur with details to be determined.
