Obituary

Michael Croft Fraker was called home to be with our Lord on January 29, 2022. Michael was born on January 25, 1956 in Shreveport, LA to Walter Vere Fraker and Barbara Roberts Fraker. Michael grew up in a happy and loving home. He had a very active childhood, always being outdoors and making many friends, many of them becoming life-long friends. He was a graduate of W T White High School and The University of North Texas.

Michael was a dedicated father and loving husband who worked hard every day to take care of his family, and always put those he loved first. He was a devoted and fun-loving husband to Dora Elia Fraker, who he met in 1988, and later married in 2003. Michael always made it known that his family was his life, and everything he did was for his wife and children. He enjoyed walks with his children, being outdoors and exercising. He loved to share his knowledge of history and music with his children. He was a committed and loving friend to all who knew him.

Michael was preceded in death by his parents, and is survived by his loving wife, Dora C. Fraker, his children: Derek Daulton Fleming (Hillary), Stephanie Ann Fraker and fiancé Guillermo Herrera, Michael James Fraker, Sophia Marie Fraker, and his siblings: Jack Fraker, Kathleen Cox (Pat), and Jim Fraker (Lynn). He is survived also by nieces and nephews whom he loved very much: Daniela Lombrano, Marcus and Alex Flores, Daniel Cox, Michelle Chiara , Julie Cox, Jackie Marshall and Kevin Fraker.

Michael was taken too soon from his family and those that he loved. He was well loved in return. Michael had an amazing and loving personality, a great sense of humor, was caring, smart, passionate, and loved life. He had a big heart, was always there to listen, and gave heartfelt advice. Michael had everything that made us love him, and we loved being around him.

He will be missed by so many. There will never be another Michael Croft Fraker.

    I’ve spent many hours during the noon time with Michael and will always remember him for his quiet humility and calm demeanor. A gentleman whose time came too early. My prayers to Dora and the family. My heart goes out to all of you and I know you must take some comfort that he suffers no more, though he made a valiant effort to get well. ❤️‍

"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!!"
