Stage family,
We are so sorry for your loss. We know Fred is in a better place and is experiencing the Lords promises. This knowledge is comforting but doesn’t mean we don’t morn our losses. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,

Mr. Stage was my favorite teacher when I was in school in Rapid River, it’s where I began my love of government.

Fred Stage will always be an icon of Rapid River High School. He was an excellent family man, teacher, coach, and hunter as stories will be told.
His funeral being held on Opening Day of Deer Season is his “Last Laugh” exit. He was a role model of integrity, honesty, and the list goes on.
Prayers for his family during this hard time.
