Jesse Blaine Frazier, “Blaine,” age 80, was born January 30, 1942 and passed away August 22, 2022 at Regency Retirement Village in Morristown, TN. One of Blaine’s greatest joys were his dogs and any animal that happened to be fortunate to call Blaine’s home theirs. Blaine’s other joy was racing and in 1965 Blaine, and his late brother, Bill Frazier, built the Tazewell Speedway. The Speedway is known to be one of the fastest, most exciting dirt race tracks, and a great family event on Saturday nights. Blaine was known for his charming and charismatic personality. He never met a stranger and had a positive effect on everyone he met. He was a friend to many and will be greatly missed by all.
Preceding him in death are his parents Jesse and Vickie Henry Frazier, brothers Chester and Bill Frazier, sister Ina Lee Tipton.
Blaine is survived by his sister Freda Wallace, his nieces Brenda Neill, Denise Wallace, Debbie Norris, and nephew Wesley Frazier.
The family will receive friends and family Sunday, August 28 from 10:00 to 11:00am at Coffey Funeral Home. Immediately following the visitation will be the service at 11:00am, also at Coffey Funeral Home, 937 Broad Street, New Tazewell, TN 37825. Burial will be held after on the Manning Cemetery.
