Born on February 23, 1967, in Buchanan, MI, to Charles and Madalene (Seal) Frazier, Bob grew up with a strong sense of family and community. He graduated from River Valley High School in 1985, where he enjoyed playing both football and basketball. He went on to attend Michigan State University, earning his bachelor's degree in supply chain management.

Bob began his career as a Senior Analyst at Helene Curtis (1989–1991) before joining PwC (1991–1999). He later served as a Strategy Partner with the Internet Business Solutions Group at Cisco Systems (1999–2003), where he played a key role in reshaping McDonald's Happy Meal packaging. In 2003, upon the birth of his youngest daughter, Myah, Bob retired from the corporate world to dedicate himself fully to being a stay-at-home father to his three children, Kyle, Jaci, and Myah. He took great joy in supporting them through school events, sports, and daily life.

A man of many passions, Bob enjoyed playing guitar and had a deep love of music, especially 80s R&B, Queen, Foo Fighters, and The Who. He was a loyal fan of the Michigan State Spartans and the Chicago Bears. He also loved woodworking, a craft he learned from his father, and even built the family's home when they relocated to Michigan.

Bob's sense of community shone through in all he did. He was a member of the Watermark Mug Club, Director of the Materials and Logistics Management Association at Michigan State University, and an active participant in The Persty Open. He found renewed purpose during the construction of Watermark Brewery, where he eagerly shared his time, skills, and knowledge to help bring the brewery and The Solarium to life. Bob would go on to marry Kate Kapp at The Solarium during an intimate ceremony on June 30, 2023.

Above all, Bob will be remembered for his generosity, his kindness, and his unwavering dedication to caring for others. When he was diagnosed with ALS in 2022, the same love and support he had given so freely was returned to him by the many lives he touched.

Bob's greatest legacy is his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Kate; his children, Kyle Frazier of Cincinnati, Jaci Frazier of Grand Rapids, and Myah Frazier of East Lansing; siblings, Rich (Sue) Frazier, Steve (Marilyn) Frazier and Linda (Tim) Butler; and many extended family members and friends who will carry his memory forward. He is preceded in death by his parents, Charles & Madalene Frazier.
