Karl R. Frasier

Karl R. Frasier, 50, of Johnstown, departed this earthly life on Thursday, July 28, 2022.
Often referred to as the best Mother's Day gift ever received, Karl was born to the late Lynne C.
(Ackerknecht) Frasier on Mother's Day, May 14, 1972, in Gloversville, NY.
Karl was a 1990 graduate of Johnstown Senior High School. From there he carved his own path,
going on countless adventures and making life-long friends everywhere he traveled. Later in life,
Karl followed in his mother's footsteps, and realized his calling working for The ARC
Lexington, finding considerable pride and purpose in all facets of his work, especially providing
care to his "Gentlemen" with whom forged a special bond.
An avid nature lover, Karl found great peace spending time outdoors, camping, fishing, hiking,
and just admiring the awe-inspiring beauty surrounding him. He was a talented artist and had a
true passion for music. Karl found immense pleasure in sharing the experience music brought
him with others. He often would "speak" through music, sharing the perfect song to convey what
he was feeling or what a person needed to hear. Karl was an exceptional, self-taught, musician,
bringing great joy to those who had the privilege to hear him play.
A free spirit, with an enormous heart, quick wit, and a compassionate soul, Karl made friends
easily and they quickly became family, instantly enveloped in the love and kindness he exuded.

Karl treasured his family, especially his cherished mother, Lynne, and his brother, Michael,
whom he looked up to and respected immensely.
