Rolland Dean Fraley, 83, of Columbia City, Indiana passed away Friday, December 26, 2025, at Parkview Noble Hospital. Born February 11, 1942, in Hamilton, Indiana, he was a son of the late Rollie and Martha (Legge) Fraley.
He graduated from Hamilton High School with the Class of 1960. Ron was a proud Vietnam Veteran serving in the United States Army. On September 26, 1981, he married Deborah Hinman in Muncie, Indiana. Ron worked for Moore Business Forms for 36 years as a machinist. He was a member of the Hamilton Indiana American Legion.
In his pastime Ron enjoyed gardening and spending time outdoors hunting and fishing. His family was the most important part of his life. He loved spending time with them and his dogs. Also, in his later years he looked forward to taking rides on the golf cart around the deer farm.
Ron is survived by his wife, Deborah; children, Donald (Mindy) McKean, Angella (Todd) Hoeffel, and Rebecca (John) Amick; grandchildren, Owen, Kort, Cooper, Vivian, Maxton, Chloie, Summer, Claire, and Emma; sisters, Jan (Gary) Myers, and Joyce (Larry) Ice; and brother-in-law, Allen Musser.
