Funeral services will be held
on Wednesday, December 30, at 10:30
a.m., at the Zion United Church of Christ in Hubbard, with burial
in the Hubbard Cemetery. The Boeke Funeral Home is in charge of the

Frederick William Kix, was born
on May 23, 1928,
on the Kix family farm seven miles southeast of Hubbard. He
was the second child born to Arthur and Erna (Brandt) Kix,
joining the family along with his older sister, Gladys. Fred
attended country school in Grant Township and graduated from
the
Hubbard High School in 1945. He sang in a high school
quartet and served as senior class president.
After high school, he began farming with his father. On
August 24, 1949, he was united in marriage to Melba Ann Engelking at
the Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church, with the
Rev. Arthur Kruetzman officiating. Fred and Melba began
farming at the home place after their wedding. In the next
few years, they became the proud parents of four children,
Kathy, John, Steven and Deb.
Fred was a lifelong member of
the Zion United Church of
Christ, where he served as Sunday School Superintendent and
Church Council member and president. Fred and Melba were the
Zion Youth Fellowship leaders as well. Fred also served on
the Finance Committee, the Mission Committee and the Organ
Committee at Zion. At the Hubbard Farmers Cooperative, Fred
was both a board member and served as the board’s president.
Fred joined other community members to serve on the
Retirement Home Committee in Hubbard. He was a Grant
Township Drainage District Director for many years.
Fred loved farming. He loved the “prrrrr” of the tractors
in the field. He loved climbing into a powerful
tractor...driving it down the road and through the farm
field. Fred enjoyed raising livestock and helped his
children with their 4-H projects by getting calves ready to
show at the Hardin County Fair. He farmed for many years
with John, Steve and Kevin and later farmed with his
grandson, Wes. Fred continued farming until his retirement.
Music was always special to Fred. He sang solos at many
weddings and funerals in his younger years. He joined Cecil
Tesdahl, Dean Henricks and Lowell Kulow to form the Men’s
Quartet. This group sang at church and community events for
over 30 years. Reflecting on the quartet always brought Fred
many good memories.
Fred was happy to be with his family to celebrate his
80th birthday in May 2008. This past August, Fred and Melba
celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary and he spent the
evening with his wife and family. It was very important to
him to reach both of these milestones.
Fred was encircled by his family when death came to him
on Saturday evening, December 26, 2009, at the Hubbard Care
Center.
Those remaining to cherish his memory include his wife,
Melba of Hubbard; two daughters, Kathy (Mark) Muhs of Perry and
Deb (Kevin) Eilbeck of Story City; two sons, John (Joy) Kix
and Steven (Joyce) Kix, both of Hubbard; 12 grandchildren; 13
great-grandchildren; one sister, Gladys Ziebell of Hubbard;
one step-sister, Elda Jane Halfpop of Hubbard; and one
sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Mary and John Perkins of
Whitten.
Fred was preceded in death by his parents; his
brothers-in-law, Ervin Ziebell and Gene Halfpop; and one of
his grandsons, Christopher Muhs.
