In Loving Memory
Scott Spenser Fraser
1981 - 2025
Life Lived in Full Color
On the afternoon of July 17, 1981, our hearts were filled with joy when God made George and Jean, the proud parents of Scott Spenser Fraser. Born in Cleveland, Ohio. He was received with great pride, not only by his parents, but grandparents, aunts, uncles and close friends anxiously awaiting with a loving attention to the family. As a second born four years after his brother Kyle, he quickly became the delight of the entire family. Scott attended First Baptist preschool in Shaker Heights and went on to graduate from Orange High School in Pepper Pike and then on to Kent State University where he met his future wife and life partner Maya Mitchell. Shortly after their college years in 2005, they moved to Las Vegas in pursuit of new opportunities and a warm climate. By 2012 they both had found great jobs, got married and close behind Annalise was born. A new "Fraser" legacy was born.
Scott Fraser, our beloved youngest, blessed us with 44 years of love, laughter, and brilliance. His was not an ordinary life - it was a canvas painted in bold strokes of joy, compassion, humility, service, and love.
Scott carried a mind sharp as a blade and a heart soft enough to heal. He possessed high emotional intelligence, a rare gift that allowed him to see the inner person, not just the person. He was very "people" smart, yes - but it was the way he used that brilliance, with kindness, grace, and humor, that made him an unforgettable server of people. To that end he eagerly pursued a career doing what he really loved, thus he received great satisfaction, joy and compensation.
He had a way of showing up for others, of reminding us that life's true wealth is not measured in possessions, but in love given and love received.
Scott wore many crowns, each with honor.
As a father, he was devoted - pouring his love, pride, and laughter into the life of his daughter Annalise, his greatest joy and his legacy.
As a brother, he was light and laughter - the one who could turn an ordinary day into a lively but prickly debate or a contest of wit.
As a son, he was steady and respectful - a blessing to those who raised him, and a source of pride to his family.
Even in the smallest moments, Scott carried. A splash in the ocean with his brother became a friendly contest, and a symphony of laughter. A meal around the table became a beautiful memory etched in the minds of his family, friends or tablemates. His presence transformed the ordinary into interesting and fun.
A Final Journey, A Lasting Gift
In July, our family shared one last annual family vacation in the Dominican Republic with Scott. The ocean embraced us, the air carried our laughter, and both Kyle and Scott's light shone brightly among us. That trip turned out to be more than a vacation - it was a sacred gift. A reminder that time is fleeting but love is eternal. It was God's whisper to us: hold this moment, for it is precious.
The Legacy of Scott Fraser
Though Scott's earthly journey has ended, his spirit lives on. He is with us in every smile, every gathering, every story retold. Scott will forever be remembered as a loving son of a loving family - the youngest of us, yet carrying wisdom beyond his years. He leaves behind not just memories, but a daughter who carries his light forward, a living testament to his love. On Thursday, August 7, 2025. Scott went home to be with God, he leaves to cherish his memories: his life partner Maya Fraser, daughter Annalise, father and mother George and Jean Fraser, his brother Kyle Fraser, his best friend Antwone Peoples, loving aunts: Emma Fraser-Pendleton, June Landry, Juanita Golson, Millicent Fraser, Vickie Marsh, great aunt Myra James, uncles: Herb Spencer, Eric Spenser, Donald Williams, Bruce Williams, great uncle James Baldwin, many cousins, and a host of dear relatives and friends.
His life is not over. It has simply changed form. His legacy is alive - in us, through us, and through Maya and Annalise.
With Deep Gratitude
On behalf of the Fraser Family, we thank you for honoring Scott's memory with us. Your prayers, presence, and love remind us that even in sorrow, we are never alone.
"I Will Always Be Here for You"
Do not mourn nor cry for me. I am still here,
though you do not see me.
I am right by your side each night and day,
and within your heart, I long to stay.
My body is gone, but I'm always near.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart,
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight.
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach.
I'm the warm, moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around,
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you are so fond,
the clear, cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first blossom you'll see in spring,
the first warm rain drop that April will bring.
I'm the ray of light when the sun starts to shine
and you'll see that face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
I'll whisper my words through the leaves in the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot, salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come When you sleep.
