Erik Frazee Obituary

Frazee, Erik Ryan
On April 2, 2010, Erik Ryan Frazee, 25, arrived safely to the welcoming arms of Jesus. Erik is survived by his parents, Brad and Jennifer, and brothers, Brant and Andy; also his Grandpa Keith, Grandma Mary, Grandpa Bob, and Grandma Carol; and his Uncle Chad. Aunt Marci, and Aunt Stephanie. He also left behind many cousins and friends. We will all remember Erik as God's gift to family for 25 years and it is with great sorrow and sadness that he left us all too suddenly for our own understanding, but with the reassurance of his eternal presence now with his Lord, the Creator of all life, and with those family members who also lived and preceded him; Grandpa & Grandma Houser, Grandpa & Grandma Schram, Grandpa & Grandma Stiegman, and Grandpa & Grandma Frazee. The viewing and the funeral will be at West Resthaven Funeral Home, 6450 W Northern Ave. The viewing will be Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 from 6 PM to 8 PM, and the funeral will be Thursday, April 8, 2010 at 7:00 P.M.

Erik would have been 34 years old today......I miss you son!! There is a missing piece of my heart that can never be filled. It's been over 8 years and life has gone on. The last couple of years have been great, but there is always, and will always be a hole that can never be filled. I know that Erik is around us, Brant, Andy and I. A little over a year ago, I had a mammogram and then had to have an ultrasound. While the technician was doing the ultrasound a song came on the radio. Fly away from Lenny Kravitz. There was only 1 cd that Erik ever gave me, it was Fly Away. I started crying, I knew he was with me. I love you Erik....I miss you so much.....Mom

They say now you're in a better place
And I would be too if I could see your face.

You should be here, standing with your arm around me here.
Cutting up, cracking a cold beer, saying cheers, hey y'all it's sure been a good year.
It's one of those moments, that's got your name written all over it.
And you know that if I had just one wish it'd be that you didn't have to miss this.
Aw you should be here.

You'd be loving this, you'd be freaking out, you'd be smiling, yeah
I know you'd be all about what's going on right here right now.
God I wish somehow you could be here.

Miss you always.

I am thinking of Erik's family today. May God comfort you and give you sweet memories of Erik on his birthday and every day.

November 15, 2015

Erik,

I woke up in the middle of the night.....my heart was so heavy. 31 years ago you came into our lives. I miss you so much. I miss your smile. I miss your laugh. Erik, you never met a stranger......you had a heart of gold. You always thought the best of others and made them feel special. You always wanted to help those in need and was there for the underdog. You love your brothers.....you were a good big brother, they miss you so much. You constantly told us, " I love you". Your teachers described you as sweet.....they were so right. I believe that you are surrounded by your Grandparents. You are so loved by so many.
I love you Son. Happy Birthday.
Mom

I miss you.

December 24, 2014

Something will remind me
I never know just when,
It might be something someone says
And it all comes back again

The times we spent together
The happiness, the fun,
Once again I feel the pain
Of life without my Son.

It's said that time's a healer
I'm not so sure that's true,
There's not a day goes by Son
That I don't cry for you.

I love you Erik!

Mom

April 7, 2014

We thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
and days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
we often speak your name.
All we have are memories,
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
with which we will never part.
God has you in His keeping,
we have you in our hearts.
A million times we`ve wanted you.
A million times we cried.
If love could only have saved you,
you never would have died.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn`t go alone.
For a part of us went with you...
the day God called you Home.
Love
Mom

Think about you all the time. Found the Cubs baseball t-shirt you gave me in the back of my closet the other day. I'll cherish it forever.You were a brother from another mother. Love and miss you kid.

Another year and not a day goes go that I don't carry you in my heart. When I got the news today, I didn't know what to say.
So I just hung up the phone.
I took a walk to clear my head,
This is where the walking lead
Can't believe you're really gone
Don't feel like going home.
So I'm gonna sit right here
On the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear.
Funny how the good ones go
Too soon, but the good lord knows. The reasons why, I guess.Sometimes the greater plan is kinda hard to understand!
I miss you Erik!

You are always in my thoughts. I never knew one person could have such an impact in someone elses life in a short amount of time. I must admit, you stole my heart!! I miss you Erik.

Erik, it has been 2 years since you left your family. Can't believe it. I know you and my son Scott are both rejoicing in heaven but you are both greatly missed. I am praying for your family to be comforted by sweet memories.

April 2, 2012

We miss you so much. Dad, Brant, Andy and I try hard to have fun but its so hard without you.
You would be so proud of Andy. He's in a chess club and he's such a natural at it like his big brother who taught him.
Andy has told me that he feels you near. Thanks for visiting my dreams. We know that you are close by.

Love you so much,
Mom

2 years ago were some of the happiest days of my life and then in a split second you were gone and all that changed! I miss you more than words can ever express. Until we meet again my friend!!

April 15, 2011

Erik,
There is not an hour that goes by that I don't think about you. There is an ache in my heart...that is always there. There seems to be a never ending supply of tears.
I don't know how Grandma Houser lived with the loss of her son for 45 years.
Love you and miss you so much...you are forever in my heart.
Thank you for the candle and the words that you wrote......I read it often.
I love you too....

Erik, we all miss you so much, but it makes it hurt a little less that we can know you are in heaven and with other loved ones. I hope you are taking care of my Daizy up there! I have so many good memories of you that just make me smile when I think of them. You will never be forgotten, and the day will come when we're all up there laughing and smiling with you! Until that day comes, thank you for looking down on all of us, and thank you for your impact on my life. Love you and miss you tons. ~your cousin, Shastyn

This is very belated but since we have recently lost our son Scott and found out about the loss of your son Erik, we have some idea of what you have gone through. We pray that you are finding some rest and peace, that which eludes us at present. We know that Scott and Erik are getting to know each other in heaven as well as worshiping our Lord Jesus together. Prayers for you.

Erik,

I love you and miss you! Its hard to stop the tears.
I thank God for preparing me for this the day before it happened. Grandma Houser has always been near and it was her way of telling me that she was going to take care of you. It gives me such comfort knowing that Grandma Houser is holding you.
Love you Erik.....give Grandma a great big hug and hope you are having fun playing checkers with Grandpa.

Love,
Mom

I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in
silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture
in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part...God
has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.

Erik,
I love you and miss you so much it hurts. You are in my thoughts from the moment I wake up til the moment I go to bed. I look forward to sleeping because that is the only time that I can forget that you're gone.
You are forever in my heart,

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

My Precious Grandson Erik,
I love you so much and have so many wonderful memories of you. You were my first Grandchild and I thought you were the most adorable baby I had ever seen. You were always so loving and always said, "I love you Grandma." I know from many confirmations that we have had since you left us here on earth, that you are in heaven with all the Grandpas and Grandmas and all of our other loved ones who have gone before you. I will miss you so much that it hurt my heart, but I know you are free and happy now. I will never forget you. Love, Grandma Mary

Jennifer, Brad, Brant, Andy, Stephanie & family, Uncle Bob, and Aunt Carol,
We are so sorry for this grievous loss your family has suffered. I can't even imagine what all of you are going through right now. Even though we are all thankful for the knowledge we have that Erik has gone to be with loved ones who have passed before, I know that you will always wish that he could have stayed here longer with you and that all of you will miss him terribly. You will continue to be in our prayers that the Lord will send his comforting spirit to be with you and give you the strength to go on during these dark times.
With all of our love,
Julie Sullivan and family

Erik was full of love, and life, and laughter. His smile, his laugh and that twinkle in his eyes will be missed but never forgotten. To the family, may God shine his grace and help you through this difficult time.

Erik, though I really never got to know you and I am sorry for that, I loved your mom and dad, and somehow wanted to believe that you were named after my Eric,(I know you weren't) but your dad always laughed so hard at Eric. I loved to see that smile on your dad's face!! I know you brought your mom and dad a life time of memories and many smiles. Your passing on to heaven will leave us missing you, but your gifts and story will remain for a long time. Love, Anita and family

Dear Brad,
I was very saddened to hear of your loss of Erik. I wish you and your family the best, and hope you all find your way to peace.

April 7, 2010

It is said that 'it is in death that we find eternal life' and now dear Erik can thrive fully. There is no doubt he is with God now. My sympathy to the bereaved family. I am truly, truly sorry.

April 7, 2010

Even though I don't remember Erik, perhaps because I never met him, I do know his mother Jennifer. I send my condolences to the Frazee family and to his mom and dad and Grandpa Bob and Grandma Carol. Tim Smith, Bob's cousin.

April 7, 2010

Erik was the kindest, most thoughtful, enthusiastic, energetic person I have met in a long while. He was excited about his future helping others. I am sure I cannot adequately express my deepest sympathy, but you, the Frazee family deserve to know that Erik touched many people in a positive way especially with his gift of making people laugh. As a fellow student I will remember how he helped me through a very difficult time. Peace be with you.

My heart is so saddened by the loss of Erik. I pray that each of you will find comfort in your memories of him during this most difficult time. He was a wonderful son, grandson, brother, cousin, nephew & friend. He touched many with his beautiful smile. The Lord has called him home & we must find comfort in that somehow. Lean on each other during this time & know that there are many many friends and family there for you too. Peace be with each of you.

I am so sad for the sudden passing away of your beloved grandson, Erik. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, God Bless you all during this very trying time.

Erik would say "Be not bereft,you see, because only my body has left. I have found God to be good and kind, so to be in Heaven I do not mind. To all of my family, and friends that I knew, let the love in my heart forever remain, and on that note I bid you adieu."
Now, as for me I did not know you long, but my memory of you will remain strong. Your sense of humor was tremendous, I said you could do stand-up, the applause would be thunderous. So for the few times we met you were the best, for this I can attest. And now, dearest Erik, in Heaven with God, you can have peace and rest. AMEN To those very close to Erik I wish to relay my deepest, sincerest sympathy. You had a wonderful, precious son, brother, nephew,cousin and grandson.I am most proud to have known him. He is a shining star in Heaven, next to and comforted by our Lord, Jesus Christ.

April 7, 2010

My prayers go out to your family. I'll shed my tears for those you've left behind. I'll miss you and thanks for being Brant's awesome big brother and never picking on us at school =) -Just an old friend from Southwest Christian

We miss you, Erik! What a joy to know you are with the Lord! Last November when you flew to Virginia and then drove back to Phoenix with Grandpa Bob, we only had one day to get to know you. You endeared yourself to us, and we were sad to see you go. We just wanted to keep you here. Our hearts ache for your family now, but rejoice that you are at home in Heaven with Jesus and with loved ones. We'll meet again someday.
Love, Aunt Arlene and Uncle Dan
