Ronald Frazier

Mr. Ronald Dennis "Tiny" Frazier, age 83, passed away peacefully on January 30, 2026, in Kansas City, Missouri. Born on October 27, 1942, in the same city he called home throughout his life, Ronald was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend.

A proud graduate of Central Senior High School’s Class of 1961, Ronald carried the values of hard work and dedication with him throughout his life. He gave his life to Christ at an early age and remained steadfast in his faith. As a devoted member of the World Wide Church of God, he found strength and community through worship and service.

Affectionately known as “Tiny,” Ronald was a big man with an even bigger heart. And that big heart was light on his feet on the dance floor. His love for cooking brought joy to many family gatherings over the years. Whether preparing a meal or simply being present with those he loved most, Ronald created lasting memories through simple acts of care and generosity.

He leaves behind a legacy cherished by his wife of 40 years, Katherine Frazier; his daughter Regina T.D. Frazier; stepson Lionel Gaitan; stepdaughter Shelia Swinton; four grandchildren—Anthony Bostic, Dearin Robertson, Erica Smith, and Shakila—and three great-grandchildren: Elisa and Ezra Robertson. He is also fondly remembered by his oldest brother Ralph Mercer and numerous nieces and nephews.

Ronald was preceded in death by his parents, Matthew and Laura Frazier-Jamerson, three brothers—Floyd Frazier, Clifford Mercer, Ben Mercer—and his sister Deborah Frazier.

Funeral services were held on February 7th 2026, at Park Lawn Funeral in Kansas City, Missouri.

A heartfelt tribute from his daughter captures the essence of who Ronald was:
“He wasn’t many things—but he was everything to me. I love you Daddy and I’m gonna miss you.”

May Ronald’s memory continue to bring comfort to all who knew him.
