David M. Fraser Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 22, 2006.
If you want to see David M. Fraser's legacy, just take a look at the bridge and landscaping next to the West Point Youth Activities Center. He designed the beautiful timber bridge, negotiated with post agencies and contractors, and managed the volunteers who helped build the site. He unveiled the bridge during graduation and was commissioned as an officer on it. "Today, the bridge stands as a testament to his spirit of service and commitment to excellence," said 1st Lt. Seth Chappell, a friend and West Point classmate. Fraser, 25, of Houston, Texas, was killed Nov. 26 by an explosive in Baghdad. He was assigned to Fort Hood. Fraser graduated in 2004 from U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he was a member of the cross-country and track teams, and received a civil engineering degree. He liked NASCAR, country music, fishing, big trucks, mountain biking and playing his guitar. "He was a true Texan, for sure," classmate First Lt. Ahren Reiter said, adding that Fraser was "very outgoing, incredibly friendly, almost always had a great big smile on his face." He is survived by his parents, Richard and Helen.

Dave,
I still miss you all the time, buddy. I was just thinking about when you came into the TOC and put some of my flavored powdered creamer into your hot chocolate, got a huge goofy grin on your face, and said "It tastes MAGICAL!" I know we both love Texas and we both love God, and I wish we had gotten a chance to hang out in a non-combat zone. Hope you're having a blast in Heaven, and I'll see you when I get there.

I'll never forget the time you flew down to Balad Medical Cash with PFC Demarco to drop off some of my stuff and wish me luck and a safe trip home after i was wounded. It was a honor and pleasure serving with you, and everyone else from E company. Engineers lead the way, sir!

November 13, 2009

David was my LT in Baghdad and he never once lost that smile of his. He was always happy and ready to help any soldier with any problem. He was a source of inspiration and courage for me. Always the professional soldier, he was not afraid to get on his knees and pray for all of us in 1st platoon. I will miss him but I will see him again standing next to the Father with that big goofy grin of his.

In Memory of David ~ (Debra Estep)

November 26, 2008

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know David, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Remembering
Go ahead and mention my child,
You know, the one that died.
Don't worry about hurting me further
The depth of pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry.
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
the tears that I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending he did not exist.
I'd rather you mention him
knowing that he has been missed.
You asked me how I am doing.
I say "pretty good" or "fine."
But healing is something ongoing.
I feel it will take a lifetime.

Sir,

I remember the first time I saw you when you limped into our office after you had just finished Ranger school, and you said I work for you guys now, the engineer company doesnt have a place for me yet, and you had a grin on your face. It was deeply saddened when I awoke up that fateful day to learn you were no longer among us. I remember you being so full of life. You were the type of man I expected to see on the news one day of climbing Mount Everest. You had so much you still needed to do, and see. I still remember the last conversation we had the last time I saw you, about living life to the fullest. You will never be forgetten. Hounds of Hell, Sir!

I'll never forget you sir. It was a pleasure serving with you. You are truly a hero. God Bless.

August 16, 2007

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

It is with great sorrow that I am sending a note of symphathy to another young soldiers family. We will keep you in our prayers. May you be comforted by God in your time of grief. Our hearts go out to you.

To the Family of 1st Lt. David M. Fraser:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. David you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.

He's in the very best of company now, Our beloved son, LCpl Leon B.Deraps USMC was killed in action 05/06/06 in Al Anbar. We are all a family forged of pain and loss, But I pray for us all to find peace and keep the joy of the times we had alive. This will test your faith as never before, but We find that the harder we lean on our Lord, Some how He carries us on. When it gets dark, force yourself, if you must, to say the Lords Prayer and Thank Him for the Blessing and privilege of have such a Bright Star in your life. The pain will stop your heart sometimes but the darkness will pass slowly but surely and the day will come when he pops into your head and you will smile again. God bless Them All. E-mail me if you wish.

Words cannot express my gratitude for your service. You were an "older brother" to me and to so many others. I will never forget the early morning cross country practices when you would pick Gavin & I up. You made waking up at 6am enjoyable...not many people can do that!

You are my hero!

Dave was all that anyone could ask for from a friend. We were in the same plebe year company at USMA and I loved going to his room and listening to him play the guitar. His faith was so important to him and he truly lived a God centered life. I am blessed to have known such a wonderful man and Soldier. Be thou at peace.
