We posted back in April about the multiple hospitalizations of Fred Veeder, a longtime math teacher at Dodgen Middle School who was named the Cobb County School District Teacher of the Year in 2018.
Veeder had been suffering from congestive heart failure and he died on June 23 at the age of 65, according to his obituary, which said he had been in hospice care.
Dodgen teacher Kari Viland, who organized an online fundraiser to help pay for Veeder’s medical expenses, said that “he was with his beloved family and was not in pain. We take comfort in knowing that his legacy will live on in the minds and hearts of so many. Please know that he so enjoyed receiving and reading all of your messages.”
She said there will be a memorial service for Veeder July 28 at Mt. Bethel United Methodist Church (4385 Lower Roswell Road) at 2 p.m.
In honor of his memory donations may be made to the Atlanta Humane Society or any other charity.
