Deuane Frazier

(From Clark Funeral Home)

Deuane W. Frazier went for his last ride at the age of 93, leaving behind a life defined by dedication, craftsmanship, and deep love for his family.

Born in Hobart, Oklahoma, to Orville “Fuzzy” Frazier and Dorothy Clayton Frazier, Deuane was raised in Oklahoma, where he attended Mountain View school. There, in the third grade, he met Betty Hoover, the girl who would become his lifelong love. What began as childhood friendship grew into a marriage and partnership that endured for decades and formed the heart of a strong and loving family.

Deuane served his country in the United States Army before beginning a distinguished career in aviation and aerospace. A skilled mechanic and engineer, he contributed to the historic X-15 program and worked on the power unit that became part of the Space Shuttle program an achievement he held with quiet pride. His work helped advance American aerospace history, though he sought no recognition for it.

He retired from Sabreliner after a long and respected career. If something was broken, Deuane could fix it. His talent was matched by patience, humility, and a willingness to help anyone in need.

Above all, Deuane was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Family was his greatest joy, and he worked to ensure traditions were passed down through generations. His legacy is one of unity, strength, and unconditional love.

He is survived by his children Cheryl Frazier (Karen) of Maumelle, Arkansas; Kevin Frazier (Kandy) of St. Petersburg, Florida; Keith Frazier (Shawna) of Pleasant Hill, Missouri; and Lisa Duncan (Deon) of Grove, Oklahoma; along with seven grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

Deuane found happiness in simple pleasures hunting, fishing, riding his Harley-Davidson, cheering on women’s softball, and woodworking. He was a proud 32nd Degree Mason who valued integrity, service, and friendship.

His life was one of hard work, laughter, and love. His memory will live on in every family gathering, every shared story, and every tradition he helped create.
