Will Fraser


(From Parker Mortuary)

William Elliot Fraser, passed away on September 26, 2024, in Joplin, Missouri, just shy of his 14th birthday. He was born on September 28, 2010, in Harrison, Arkansas, to parents Diamonde Bogachoff and Michael Fraser.

Will was a bright student at Joplin South Middle School, where he had just begun his 8th-grade year. Will's academic interests were as diverse as his hobbies; he found as much pleasure in the virtual worlds of Fortnite, Minecraft, and Roblox as he did in the timeless tunes of classics and oldies.








Known for his sense of humor, Will had an uncanny ability to lift the spirits of those around him. Will was also recognized for his kind heart and caring nature. He was always the first to lend a helping hand.

He is survived by his loving mother, Diamonde Bogachoff; his father, Michael Fraser; his stepfather, Donald Schneider; his stepmother, Lauren Fraser; his siblings, Katelynn Fraser, Isabella Schneider, and Gabriel Fraser; his cousins, Demarcus Smith, Xavier Twing, Kyle Wallace, Austin Wallace, Jackson Wallace, Alisha Hageness, Alisha T. & Jeffrey, Lazzaries, Lakeysha, Zaire, Joycie, Chris Barnard, and Nicky Barnard; aunts and uncles, Kevin and Crystal Hageness, Jessica and Danny Wallace, Nena and AJ Lovell, Toby Denman, Bernie Schneider, Anne Marie Schneider; and his grandparents, David and Sarah Fraser and Kenneth Hageness. 

Will was preceded in death by his grandmother Sally Hageness, great-grandmother Joyce Edgerly, and great-grandfather David Fraser, Sr.

As we mourn the loss of Will, we also celebrate the profound impact he had in his brief time with us. His memory will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have felt the warmth of his smile and the generosity of his spirit. Will's legacy is one of love, laughter, and the simple, yet profound reminder to always care for others.
