William was born August 13, 1930, to Will and Lora Roby Frasier in Leake County, Mississippi. He was a devoted pastor who served various Assembly of God churches around Mississippi for 69 years, with his dedicated wife by his side. For many years, William also owned Frasier Pest Control, which served Winston County and the surrounding areas. He was known for his “green thumb” abilities; he loved gardening and sharing what he grew with the community. He also enjoyed working in his flowers.
William is survived by his children: Gail (Ray) Uhrich of Jacksonville, Arkansas; Kay Ming; Jan (Robert) Lowery all of Louisville; and daughter-in-law, Joyce Frasier of Waynesboro, Mississippi. One of his greatest joys was being “PaPaw Bud” to his grandchildren: Heath (Amber) Barnette, Jarrod (Crystal) Frasier, Kyle (Lacie) Frasier, Alison (Matt) Woods, Jonathan (Jennifer) Lowery, and Caden Lowery; and to his bonus grandchildren: Angie Springer, Charles (Cristina) Ming, Linda Ming, and Kim (George) Haydu. He also dearly loved his great-grandchildren: Dylan (Madisin) Barnette, Lakeyn Barnette, Drake Frasier, Grant Frasier, Landon Frasier, Londyn Frasier, Mason Woods, Mary Morgan Woods, Maggie Mae Woods, Miles Woods, and Ellie Lowery, and was looking forward to the arrival of another great-grandson; and his great-great-granddaughter, Annaleigh Kate Barnette, as well as a host of loving nieces, nephews, other family members, and friends. William was preceded in death by his wife of 70 years, Ernestine Frasier; son, Anthony Frasier; granddaughter, Amy Marie Frasier; son-in-law, Charles Ming; bonus grandson, Doug Ming; his parents; and his siblings: Katherine Odom, Sarah Lamb, Paul Frasier, and Juanita Lamb.
