Frederick O. Maxwell, Jr.
April 14, 1969 - April 9, 2023 Kennett Square, PA | Age 53 Loving Son, Brother, Uncle, Godfather, and friend.Frederick O. Maxwell, Jr. of Kennett Square, PA departed this life at the age of 53 on April 9, 2023.
Born 1969 in Wilmington, DE, he was the son of Frederick and Sonia Maxwell.
Fred was a 1987 graduate of Kennett High School. He went on to attend Drexel University, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Business. While working full-time, he earned two Master’s degrees and obtained a Six Sigma certification in Project Management.
Fred loved sports. He played baseball, beginning with Little League, and went on to play in high school, as well as into his adult years. In addition to baseball, Fred played basketball and enjoyed sharing his love for the game with his nephews. He believed if they were going to play ball with him, they had to learn the right way, so he taught them the art of sportsmanship by dominating over them, even though they were under 12 years old at the time. Not only did Fred enjoy playing sports, he enjoyed watching it. He was a true Philadelphia “Phanatic.” When it came to the Eagles v/s the Cowboys, get out of the room and leave him alone, or you’ll get hit with is rally towel.
In addition to being passionate about sports, he was passionate about family and had a wonderful sense of humor. He was a loving son to his father and mother, had a close relationship with his sister, Kim, and enjoyed partnering with his brother-in-law, Hallie, to have fun at Kim’s expense. Fred was a loving uncle to his 3 nephews, Stanton, Cedric, and Kolton. Just like any great uncle, he was their “big brother” by giving them that ear they needed to listen and gave them advice in a way only a true big brother / uncle could give. Fred embodied the word love, and showed it in his own special way. His infectious smile and his little sayings, like “No wayyyy!” will be forever missed.
Fred is survived by his parents Frederick Sr. and Sonia of Kennett Square, PA; his sister Kimberly Jones (Hallice) of Kennett Square, PA; three nephews Stanton, Cedric, and Kolton Jones; godson Aristotle Miguel; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.

He was the nicest guy and was always a pleasure to hang out with, when we were in high school together. He will be so missed.
Fred played baseball for me, and was a great help to the team! With his speed and skill in the infield he helped us win many games. I still remember him stealing third base in a district game and when the third baseman missed the throw, Fred scored the winning run. Wonderful memories of a class young man! Miss you Fred. Coach, Tim Skiles. Kennett High School.❤️
We were very saddened to hear the news. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
He was a dear friend going back to our days at Drexel University, and later on in California as we continued on our journey. He had a big heart, and the greatest personality to match. He was always the first one to offered a helping hand to a friend in need.
We had so much fun going to the Eagles’ hang out in Irvine to watch the games. We also would be chatting with each other during the games through the good times and bad times. The Eagles would drive us nuts at times!
Fred will always be remembered for his kindness and for being a great friend! We would like to pay our respects the next time we go back to the Philadelphia area.

I was very surprised to see this. I am so sorry. Fred was such a nice guy. I will miss seeing him.
Fred Jr….only great memories of you growing up and as the one who took care of the little cousins, while the Aunties and Uncles all went to Vegas….you my cousin, were the lead instigator of the “Chili Rebellion”. No one liked my chili so you and the rest of the cousins put it all back in the pot. But you couldn’t lie, you fessed up, and I would never have known if you had kept it to yourself. Fred Jr, you are genuine, gentle soul and kind; I will miss you. Say hello to the family in heaven. Give them all a hug for us. 💗
Uncle Fred, Auntie Sonia, Kim & family, we are thinking of you all, during this difficult time. Sending you our sincerest condolences, our love and hugs. 💙 Elizabeth

I worked with Fred for 4.5 years. Fred was not just a colleague; he was a friend. I will forever miss him answering the phone: “What’s going on?” He had a quick wit and a great sense of humor. He was a great sounding board and an amazing person. I enjoyed really getting to know Fred more this past year over lunch at Hood’s and dinner at Harry’s. Fred often talked and gushed about his nephews and how proud he was of them. I admired his commitment to family and friends across the country. My sincerest condolences to his beloved family. I will miss him!
I love you Fred Jr May You Rest In Heavenly Peace you’re with my Grandma now please watch out for the family and keep us strong. I have a lot of memories with you as a kid and wild teen and always felt welcome around you. We Love You Soo Much And Will Miss You Everyday. Much Love Eleonor & Candace “your lil Raven”😘😘💔💔🙏🏽😇😓😢

My sincere condolences to the entire Jones family! ♥

He was one of a kind. I miss his silliness, his smile, his ability to listen, easy to talk to, his passion for food and movies, his views on the world, he was a news junkies and most of all he never judge anyone. He never turned down anyone when they needed his help. He was charismatic, kind and very personable. Everyone took an instant liking to him. And yes, when it came to Eagles vs Cowgirl (as he would say) he was brought all his excitement and passion with him. I miss my friend and a brother.
