Frederick John Haenchen

Frederick “Fred” John Haenchen, 91 of Kingston, Oklahoma passed away Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at Texoma Medical Center in Denison, Texas. He was born January 6, 1935, to the late Frederick Carlyle Haenchen Jr and Vida John (Wild) in Oklahoma City, OK. He moved to what is now Kingston, Oklahoma as a young boy where he helped his father build the family home, and he continued to live there for the remainder of his life.

Fred married Carolyn Jean Anderson on August 14, 2003, in Gordonville, Texas. He worked primarily as a truck driver in the transportation industry.

Fred was a talented and hardworking man who enjoyed sailing, riding his motorcycle, a good joke that made you think, working with his hands, and construction of anything from a boat to a house. He had an engineer’s mind and was able to do just about anything he set his mind to and took pride in being able to create, repair, and build things with his own hands.

He is survived by his wife, Carolyn Haenchen, of Kingston, Oklahoma; his children, Christina Reno and husband Rob, Steve Haenchen and wife Sandra, Mark Haenchen, Jim Haenchen and wife Robin, Sandra Lawson and husband Tim, Ron Haenchen and wife Brenda, June Marinis and husband John, Michael Presnell and wife Susan, and Bill Presnell and wife Brooke; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and his sister, Carol Shahandeh.

He was preceded in death by his parents and wife Ingrid Haenchen (Schaveland).
