James Mark Frazier, 82, of Houston, Texas (formerly of the Nashville area) died December 17, 2023, after a long battle with cancer.  Born September 6, 1941, in Sumner County, he was the son of the late John B. Frazier and Velma M Tidwell Frazier.

James was a graduate of Hendersonville High School and received his degree in civil engineering at UT Knoxville. After years of employment with the State of Tennessee, Boeing Aerospace and the City of Houston, he was able to retire early, focusing on his many hobbies and engaging with friends at the Delta and Belair clubs in Houston.

In addition to his parents, James was preceded in death by his brothers, JB Frazier, and Charles Frazier and sister Betty Jo McKinney.

He is survived by sister, Mary Sue Hughes of Cary, North Carolina; nieces and nephews Greg Hughes of Cary, North Carolina, Darlene (David) Garvey of White Bluff, Tennessee, Tommy (Marilyn) Kemper of Cane, Ridge, Tennessee, and Velma (Rusty) Edwards of Nashville Tennessee.

Special thanks to the Houston Transitional for the loving caregiving and to the many friends in Houston, Texas for their support.
