The Great Frederick, The Thunder, Donner
Reigned the earth November 27, 1964 - April 22, 2004


Greetings to the world and to them and those who live in it. I, William Maragh, AKA Super Cat, The Wild Apache, saying to the fans and friends who may be concerned, we have lost a great soul and special person from amongst us in reggae dance hall land.

Fred left us on April 22, 2004 at 7 am in the morning. Fred, the Great White Bear, as I would often refer to him has set many guidelines in our business of reggae dance hall music, especially for young and upcoming artists who know nothing about the business and are interested in creating their own production company and label.

Fred has been in the reggae business along side I, Super Cat, for over 10 years. We accomplished a lot together where show business and concerts are concerned. Frederic Donner was very professional, equipped and organized, always answered to the call. And if Fred was on the gig, there was no stalling the ball. He has never disappointed a promoter, always diligently fulfilling his obligation. He was steadfast and focused on whatever project or business he was involved in. An innovator in his thinking - he had great ideas to enhance the betterment of reggae business. Fred developed a special love for reggae music when he found the culture in the music, the roots, the weed and the ital food. He also had a fondness for the roots empress.

Frederick, the Great White Bear, went out like a trooper. Upon his dying bed at around midnight the 3rd of April his last words were, "Dad, I think this might be my last ride on the reggae starship enterprise." He said, "Don't let me down, even if I am gone the Wild Apache Shit has to go on." And I said if I had to do it all over again, there would be no other present but the Great Frederick Donor with honor, integrity, trustworthy, committed, selfless and loving.

Although he is no longer here, I say Jah continue to bless his soul and give him a safe and blessed journey to paradise where I know the Great Frederick Donner shall rise in a new life.

On April 24th, two days after Fred's calling, we celebrated in the joy of his life. The following artists paid their respects:

Don Angelo, Super Cat, Major Damage, The Selector Jukie, Selector DJ Beans, music was played by Yeshua Sound.

There will be an all-star compilation album that will be levicated perpetually to the memory of Frederick Donner. CD set includes 16 songs - series 1-3. Title track is called Reggaematic Diamond Allstar.
