Frederick E. Turner Obituary

Published by Bevis Funeral Home on Oct. 13, 2022.

Frederick E. Turner, a second generation Tallahassean, died peacefully on Wednesday, October 12, 2022. He was born on June 14, 1931 to the late Louis and Lena Turner, and graduated from Leon High School. He graduated from University of Miami with a Bachelors Degree in Business as a member of the ROTC program. When he returned to Tallahassee, he was deployed to the Philippines in the United States Air Force and gained the rank of First Lieutenant.

After his service was complete, he returned home and went to work in his parents' store, Turner's Doorway Fashion. A new opportunity came when his uncle, Sam Myers, invested in a property currently known as Scenic Heights. Once he started in the residential home building business, he knew this would be his passion. He would continue to make a huge difference in the housing market. Fred founded Century Construction, which later became Turner Heritage Homes. One of his greatest joys were his children Devra and Doug. Fred enjoyed seeing his son Doug develop the same passion for homebuilding. He retired in 2012. Fred Turner was "one-of-kind" and left behind a legacy. He had a long, fulfilling life with many accomplishments.

Fred is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, June Turner; his son, Doug Turner (Teresa); Terri O'Neal-Schaffer (Norman) and Todd O'Neal (Michelle); his brother, Steve Turner (Susan); grandchildren, Chennel Turner McCranie (Colin), Evan Turner (Katherine), Andrea Tuijten, Sanne Tuijten, Will O'Neal (Kirsten), Lacy Guthrie (Josh), Jacob Kodner (Madison) and Joshua Kodner as well as multiple great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his beautiful daughter, Devra Turner Tuijten and his brother, Mel Turner.
