Gary Reed Frazier, age 76, of Etowah, Tennessee, passed away peacefully at his home on September 11, 2026. He was born on June 23, 1950, to the late Ray and Nell Frazier.

Gary was a devoted family man known for his irrefutable kindness, unwavering resolve, and generous heart. He was the kind of person who would give his all to ensure that no one else had to go without. Incredibly resilient and strong, Gary was never afraid to express the love he carried in his heart for those around him.

Throughout his life, Gary worked in many different fields, always demonstrating an impeccable work ethic and dedication to whatever task was before him. His primary career was as a Maintenance Supervisor at Johns Manville, where he took great pride in his work.

Outside of work, Gary enjoyed fishing, target shooting, reading, and watching western movies. He cherished the simple things in life, especially the time spent with those he loved.

Gary was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Kim Frazier, with whom he shared his life and raised two sons. He outlived Kim by just four years.

He is survived by his two sons, Jacob Frazier and Luke Frazier; his grandson, Waylon Frazier; and five of his seven siblings, Pam, Harold, Ricky, Randy, and Rella. He is also survived by his partner, Cindy Hightower.

Gary leaves behind a lifetime of love, respect, and cherished memories. His kindness, strength, and love for his family will remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him for generations to come. He has now gone to be with the Lord, but the memories he created and the lives he touched will never be forgotten.

At this time, there are no formal services planned. The family will announce any future services should plans be made at a later date.
