Obituary for Freddie Edward Ellis
Freddie Edward Ellis-age 81 of Washburn, born October 26, 1940 in Bristol, Virginia to Verlin and Thelma Ellis passed away peacefully in his sleep Tuesday, November 30, 2021. Freddie was an active, healthy man until he obtained his second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination on September 28, 2021. Shortly afterward, his health started declining rapidly. By mid-November, he was a shell of the man he had been. He was admitted to the hospital November 19 and the infectious disease physician confirmed from testing, that an enzyme in the COVID vaccine had attacked his kidneys and liver. Freddie’s kidneys recovered. However, the damage to his liver precipitated a fast-moving liver cancer. Freddie came home to live his last days on Monday, November 29th. The Lord mercifully took him home the next day.
Freddie loved his family above everything else. He was the most selfless man, and an example of a true Christian. We were blessed to have him as a father. He brought us up in a Christian home and trained us to follow Christ. Thank you, Dad!

He will also be missed by his dear Aunt Mary, his cousin, Bill Griffin and a host of other relatives.
