He was born on March 20, 1947, in Ames, Iowa the son of Howard and Alice (Shearer) Oxley. Fred attended school at Colo, Iowa.

He was employed with Jack Vincent for Best Lines and for 15 years was a lease operator, driving for Roger Morberg at SAV until December of 2002, when poor health forced him to retire. Fred enjoyed putting puzzles together and gluing them together to make hanging wall pictures.
