Obituary

Kenneth Fraser (Ken), age 78, passed away in his home in Plano, Texas on May 31, 2016, after a long hard fought battle with cancer. Ken is preceded in death by his parents, John Opal and Ozella Davis Fraser, his brother, Ray Fraser, sister-in-law, Billie Ray Fraser and his sister, Joan McClure of Rusk, Texas. He is survived by his wife Maurice of Plano, Texas; son, Randall Fraser and Family from Rusk, Texas; daughter, Tiffany Fraser of Frisco, Texas; son, Kendall Fraser and grandsons, Kameron, and Keaton Fraser of McKinney, Texas. Ken graduated from Abilene High School in 1955 and attended all of his class reunions for the past 60 years and kept in touch with classmates. He and his brother grew up working with their dad and uncles learning all aspects of construction. After high school, he attended college in Denton, Texas and joined the Army in 1957.  Following the Army, Ken worked in construction, mainly concrete. He did everything from building dormitories at Texas Tech University to building high rises in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the seventies, Ken moved his family to Texas and settled in Frisco. This is where he started his own business, Fraser Construction. His specialty became building pool decks. He was well known in the Dallas area for his design and quality of work. He held that reputation for approximately 25 years until he retired in the mid-nineties. Ken loved his family and put them above all. He enjoyed basketball and especially enjoyed watching his grandsons play sports. After retirement, Ken enjoyed playing golf with his wife and friends. He became Marshall for the Plantation Golf Course in Frisco, where he enjoyed many hours of golf. He was active, always building things for their home; spas, sidewalks, decks, etc. He also enjoyed playing dominoes, dancing, crossword puzzles, and traveling with his wife. Ken will be missed by all who loved him and forever in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the American Lung Association or to a charity of one’s choice.

    We had just moved to Spur Ranch and Ken was one of the first people that we met. We had some good discussions about his backyard designs and we will miss those times. He was such an interesting person. We wish we had had time to get to know him better and maybe play a round of golf.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
