With heavy hearts and deep faith in God's eternal promise, we announce the passing of Arthur Benson Frago, age 27, of Viburnum, Missouri. Arthur left this world on March 12, 2025, and now rests in the arms of his Savior, Jesus Christ.
Born with a curious mind and a kind soul, Arthur graduated from Viburnum High School in 2016. He carried an enduring passion for history, especially World War II, and had an unmatched enthusiasm for politics, SpaceX, and the ever-evolving world of technology. A devoted fan of Star Wars and video games, Arthur loved immersing himself in stories of courage, adventure, and the limitless possibilities of the universe.
Arthur was a man of integrity and hard work. He was always willing to lend a hand and put forth his best effort in everything he did. His love for family and friends was unwavering, and he uniquely made others feel seen, valued and appreciated. His laughter was infectious, his heart was generous, and his spirit was one of kindness and strength.
Among the many things he cherished, Arthur found joy in the sound of music, the peaceful embrace of the beach, and the deep conversations that brought meaning to life. He loved learning and was keenly interested in the past, always seeking to understand the world and his place in it.
Though our hearts ache in his absence, we take comfort in knowing that Arthur is now at peace, walking the shores of Heaven's golden sea. His memory will live on in the hearts of all blessed to know him.
A memorial service will be held on April 5 at 10:30 at First Presbyterian Church in Corpus Christi, Texas.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. https://supporting.afsp.org/campaign/Arthur-Frago-s-Memorial-Fund
Rest in peace, Arthur, your legacy of love and laughter will forever be cherished in the hearts of those touched by your presence.
"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." – Matthew 11:28
