life story

A wonderful husband, father, and friend

It is with great sadness we announce that John Albert Frazier, age 76, passed away on Saturday, November 23, 2024 in Rockdale, Texas after a battle with cancer.

He is preceded in death by his parents, John E. Frazier and Hazel Frazier; also grandchild, Brandon Jackson. He is survived by his wife, Arietta Frazier; two brothers and sisters-in-law, Mike and Sharon Frazier and Doug and Colleen Frazier. Also surviving: two daughters, Kristin Jackson and Kathryn Verheek; two sons and daughter-in-law, Jon and Sherri Frazier and Kevin Frazier DeWitt; stepson John Thomas Roberts; also fifteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Born March 12, 1948, John grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia until he joined the United States Airforce after high school. He served with distinction as an Aviation Meteorologist for 20 years before retiring to Virginia. There he became a successful small business owner of Carlton Medical Supply and worked with the adult care facilities in his local area.

In 1996, John met the love of his life, Arietta, in Charlottesville, Virginia through mutual family connections. After a year they were happily married on March 22, 1997, beginning a beautiful journey together full of love and happiness. They moved to Rockdale, Texas in November of 2021 to be closer to his children and his new great-grandchildren.

John was an avid pool and card player, frequently found at the VFW. His generosity shone through in the form of home-cooked meals and warm hospitality. He loved spending time with family and swapping stories with friends on the front porch. Known for his love of classic films, he also had a unique sense of humor that was unforgettable. With a smile always on his face, John had a positive anecdote ready to brighten anyone's day.

The family is having a private gathering in memoriam. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to John's favorite charitable organizations, Wounded Warriors Project or Tunnel To Towers Foundation.
