Fred Wilks Mohr, Jr.

Fred Wilks Mohr, Jr., 78, of Cape Coral, Florida, formerly of Elkhart, Indiana, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family after a courageous battle with cancer, Saturday, August 23, 2025, in Cape Coral. He was born July 13, 1947, in Elkhart to Betty and Fred W. Mohr Sr. now deceased. A man whose heart was as generous as his spirit was strong, Fred lived a life full of love, laughter, and purpose.

Fred was a US Army Vietnam War Veteran and was honorably discharged in 1971.

Fred built a life rooted in dedication to his family and community. A natural entrepreneur, he founded and led several successful businesses in the Elkhart, IN area before proudly retiring at the age of 50. He then relocated to Cape Coral, Florida, with his beloved family, where he embraced a life of service and serenity.

Fred had a deep and abiding passion for helping others. He generously gave his time and heart to many charitable organizations, but his most cherished work was with the Special Populations program in Cape Coral. There, he found joy and fulfillment supporting a community that meant so much to him.

Among his many passions—boating, traveling adventures and fishing, chief among them—none compared to the love he held for his wife and partner in life, Jane. Fred was a devoted husband, a loving father, a proud grandfather, and a loyal friend. His wisdom, warmth, and unwavering kindness left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.

Fred is survived by his cherished wife, Jane; daughters Kimberly (Patrick) Shuler and Amy Abercrombie; and his treasured grandsons, Parker and Davis. He is also survived by his brother Bob (Bonnie) Mohr and sister Vickie Hilbert. He was preceded in death by his sister, Terry Ralston. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Fred’s legacy is one of compassion, dedication, and boundless love. His presence will be deeply missed, but the light he brought into this world will continue to shine in the lives he touched.

Celebration of life at a later date.
