Leon Parks Frazier

Celebration of Life service for Leon Parks Frazier 80, is set for 6:00pm Thursday at Memorial

Funeral Home with Rev. Trey Lambert officiating. Burial will be in the Henry Cemetery.

Mr. Frazier died September 23, 2019 at Magnolia Regional Health Center. He was born

November 19, 1938 in Washington, DC. He was raised in Statesville, N.C. and graduated from

Celeste Henkel High School, before going to North Carolina State University and graduating

with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. Projects he supervised included the Shearson

Lehman Plaza and ABC Broadcasting Company building in New York City, and the Memphis

Publishing Company and Hilton Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. He resided in the New York area

and Memphis,TN for his professional life. When he retired he moved back to Statesville, NC to

be close to his parents and then followed his grandchildren with his wife to Cincinnati and

most recently Corinth. He enjoyed putting his engineering knowledge to work by assisting

with all sorts of projects, big and small, with friends and family. He was the consummate

gentleman and was very frustrated when his ailing body would not permit him to stand when

a lady entered the room. He spent his time caring for his ailing wife of 57 years who preceded

him to the Lord 18 months previously. When he wasn't active with his or others projects,

following his grandchildren in their academic and sporting exploits, or working out doing his

cardiac rehab, you could find him watching Fox News and soaking up the political

commentary. He recently started attending Gaines Chapel Methodist Church.

He leaves behind his children; Dr. Randall P Frazier and wife Tammi of Corinth, Felicia Bourbon

of Wyoming, Ohio and Gregory L Frazier and wife Jaime of Goshen, New York. His

grandchildren; Parks Frazier, Erin Frazier, Baylor Frazier, Cooper Frazier, Mason Bourbon,

Madison Bourbon, Myles Bourbon, Cole Frazier, Sydney Frazier, Lily Frazier; his loving sister,

Gertine Agee of Richmond, VA., brother-in-law, Dr. Don Gant of Statesville, NC. and a host of

other family and friends.
