James Fraser Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 20, 2025.
Austin, Texas - James Kennedy Fraser passed away on July 23, 2025 in Austin, Texas. He was predeceased by his parents Charles Kennedy Fraser and Ann Fraser Abbott.

At a young age he developed a knack for zany performance and adventure, unafraid of singing at the top of his lungs. As a proud United States Marine, he served in the President's band while stationed in Okinawa.

His love and pride in son Travis was never more evident than when Travis was commissioned as an officer in the United States Army.

James is survived by his wife, Mary Fraser and her dear family; his son Captain Travis Fraser, daughter-in-law Devon Fraser; grandchildren Sadie, Levi, Isla, and Miles Fraser; sister Carla Fraser, brother-in-law Herman Dyal; brother Robert Fraser, along with aunts, uncles, nieces and grand-nephews.

A memorial service will be held on August 28, at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas.
