Houston Sports Media Remembers Fred Faour

Fred and I worked together for almost 12 years. I spent more time with him than I can count. Fred was a great guy. He had his flaws, and he knew them. But he always meant well and ALWAYS went out of his way to help out his friends.

Fred would love this. I always made fun of him for giving himself a nickname. But people would call him Falcon and he would light up.

Man. This hits so hard. pic.twitter.com/c6pw8SlHcY

RIP to a real one in Houston media, Fred Faour. From the Chronicle to the Blitz and Gow media, he was one of a kind. Very sad

When I was 1st out of a gig, @FredFaour gave me work writing for @SportsMap. He was very kind to me.

What he & @AJIsTheReal did w/ The Blitz was 12 years of fun radio. Many of my friends believe it was Houston’s best.

I’ll miss swapping drinking stories with him. RIP Falcon.

We are devastated to hear the news about @FredFaour. Fred was a Houston sports radio icon, helped launch many careers, and co-created the SportsMap platform. He meant so much to so many. We will miss you, Falcon. ????

So sorry to learn about Fred Faour’s passing. He was one of the first people I met during my time in Houston radio and he was incredibly kind.

He would go out of his way to invite me to Steak night with his friends because he knew I didn’t know anyone when I first arrived. https://t.co/LWgqaTcrvt
