He is survived by his sister Joan Spring of Kent, brother Jim Freeman of Issaquah, sister Kate Koppa of Fall City, brother Tom Freeman of Bremerton and sister Kelly Hill of Kent. He is preceded in death by his parents George and Elaine Freeman and his brother Rick Freeman of Kent. Memorial service to be announced at a later date.
