Joseph Warren Frazier

“Death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.”- Julius Ceasar. One of my dads

favorite quotes. My father, Joseph Warren Frazier, A loving husband, father, grandfather and

even great-grandfather passed away last Sunday April 6th, 2025. He was born in a small town

of Franklin, PA on February 25, 1941 and grew up with a fiery temper, strong sense of justice

and a stubborn will that would make even his deep Irish roots frustrated. As John Wayne said in

the Quiet Man “I have a fearful temper. You might as well know about it now instead

of findin' out about it later.” He had bright red hair and strong wit about him. His ability to

out smart and find the loop-hole in an argument or situation was a skill you either loved or hated

depending on what end of the conversation you were on. He always had a hug for his loved

ones whenever they needed it and would listen know matter how silly the topic. He was an

honored veteran of the United States Marine Corp and served for over 20+ years to his country.

He lived through crises, wars, ups and downs and remained a true patriot to the very end. From

radio, to TV, to walking on the moon and even cell phones. He lived through it all. He has seen

more of the world than anyone could ever imagine. He would often quote Shakespeare with me

growing up whenever I started to be as stubborn as he was. “My kingdom, my kingdom for a

horse” he would say. I think we would all trade any kingdom today to have you have back for

just one more hug. You taught us all the meaning of unconditional selfless love and

understanding. Your wife, Amber Frazier, your children, Amanda Eppinga, Nicole King, Jay

Cleveland, Antonia Williams and Katherine Riley live on with your memory strong in their hearts.

Your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will always remember their one of a kind, huggable

Papa/Grandpa.

We will be having a small honors service for him on April 24th, 2025 at 11:00am at Fort Custer in Augusta,

MI. All are welcome to attend.
