March 10, 1957 — November 1, 2021

Fred Michael Cersovsky, 64, of Colby, passed away at Prairie Senior Living Complex, Colby, KS, on Monday, November 1, 2021.

Fred was born March 10, 1957, in Colby, KS, to Lloyd Sr. and Eva (Renner) Cersovsky. Fred was baptized and confirmed at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Colby. He graduated from Beamgard Learning Center, in Atwood, KS, in May of 1977, where he learned life skills allowing him to work in janitorial services at Lantern Park Manor for approximately 8 years. He also helped his parents with household duties, helped his dad at the farm, and ushered at church.

Fred participated in the First International Winter Special Olympics, in Steamboat Springs, CO, in February of 1977. He played in a benefit basketball game against the Kansas City Chiefs and Buck Buchanan lifted him up to make a dunk. Some of his favorite things were bowling, maple long johns at the donut shop, and afternoon rides with his dad, which included stops for a Dr. Pepper.

Fred moved to Fairview Estates with his mother in 2011 and, following his mother’s death, he continued to live there until June 2021. He set the dining tables for meals during most of those years. Fred moved to Prairie Senior Living Complex in July 2021 and remained there until his death.

Preceding him in death were his father and mother and his brother John.

He is survived by his sister, Barbara (Richard) Williams, North Little Rock, AR; brothers, Ed (Sheryl), Lloyd Jr. (Cindy) and Mark, all of Colby; sister-in-law, Mary Sue Cersovsky, of Jackson, MS and many nieces and nephews.
