William “Bill” Robert Frasier

He was born on October 28, 1954, in Graham, Texas, to Robert J “Bob” and Wanda Lue (Brittain) Frasier. He considered home Point Comfort TX, where he grew up and discovered his lifelong love of fishing and the outdoors.

Bill worked in the oil field for over 40 years, including some time spent on offshore platforms. He later founded Frasier Contract Gauging, putting his deep knowledge and unmatched experience to work. Bill was passionate about his work and there wasn’t much he didn’t know in the field. That experience earned him the respect of many throughout his career. However, his days on the job were rarely complete without a stop at the local coffee shop where he loved to visit, swap stories, and check in on the day’s happenings.

He was best known for his love of classic cars, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and an ever-present white Toyota truck. A Marlboro cigarette and a cold Dr Pepper were never far from reach. Bill had a deep love for music, but only the classics. As he liked to say, “nothing good has come out in the last 30 years.” His truck often doubled as his personal concert hall while he made his rounds, windows down and volume up. If he wasn’t working, he was either fishing or camping. Bill was an amazing camp cook. He could make a four-course meal on a simple fire pit. Some of his most treasured memories were with friends around a campfire.

Bill proudly checked off a major item on his bucket list when he rode across the country on his motorcycle - his beloved “scooter” - with Diane by his side. Over several summers, they toured the U.S. together, from the mountains to the coastlines and everything in between. Those road trips were filled with stories, laughter, and the kind of open-road freedom that Bill cherished most.

Above all, Bill was a family man. He often said that raising his daughters, Allison and Mallory, to be good people was his greatest accomplishment. He never missed a chance to brag about his grandsons, Will, Jacob, and John, who brought him endless pride and joy. Stubborn yet soft-hearted, Bill had a generous spirit and a goofy sense of humor that he passed down to his girls. Even as they grew older, he never stopped being their dad; always guiding, and hoping they’d learn from the mistakes he had made.

Bill will be remembered for his grit, his laughter, and his generous heart. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.

He is survived by his companion, Diane Sanders of Abilene, TX; his daughters, Allison (Seth) Canalichio of Bulverde, TX, and Mallory (Jayson) McKeon of El Campo, TX; and his grandsons, Will Canalichio, Jacob McKeon, and John McKeon. He is also survived by his sisters, Donna Williams of Jacksonville, TX, and Rebecca Frasier of New Castle, KY.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert J and Wanda Lue Frasier; his sister, Ramona Zeller; and his sons, Chase and Chance Frasier.

Services will be held at a later date yet to be determined.
