David Ray Frazier, a beloved and respected member of the Perry, Oklahoma community, passed away on June 3, 2026, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Born on December 31, 1941, in Perry, David lived a life marked by dedication, hard work, and an unwavering love for his family and the outdoors.

David’s life was a testament to his character: a hardworking, loving, and caring man of few words, who was known far and wide for his impressive knowledge, especially as a numbers man and outdoorsman. His skills were many—a jack of all trades—and his passion for hunting, fishing, and identifying animals and plants was shared generously with family and friends. Whether it was tending to his beloved koi, piecing together jigsaw puzzles with his sister Sally, or volunteering at the local food pantry, David’s spirit of service and generosity was always evident.

He was a proud veteran, having served four years in the United States Navy aboard the USS Perry DD-844, an experience that held a special place in his heart alongside countless reunions. Professionally, David dedicated 39 years to Ditch Witch, a career punctuated by integrity and diligence.

Family was his greatest pride—he cherished 59 years of marriage to his devoted wife Linda Frazier. Together, they raised children who were the center of his world: his son David Frazier and daughter-in-law Kelly, and his daughter Laura Wilcoxson. His legacy extends through his grandchildren Aaron Frazier, Jacquelyn Schwickerath, Brendan Schwickerath, Cameron Wilcoxson, and his great-grandchild Linkin Frazier. The warmth of family gatherings was always present in David’s life, from Tuesday evening dinners to Independence Day fireworks, church services with lunch at Macarena, hunting and fishing trips with his son and grandson, and countless memories of him cooking marshmallows to perfection or quietly rubbing his wife's back.

He is survived by his loving spouse Linda Frazier, son David Frazier and wife Kelly, daughter Laura Wilcoxson, sister Sally Frazier, sister Kathy Taylor and husband John, brother Ron Frazier and wife Nancy, brother-in-law Mike Marshall, grandchildren Aaron Frazier, Jacquelyn Schwickerath, Brendan Schwickerath, Cameron Wilcoxson, great grandchild Linkin Frazier, wide circle of nieces and nephews, friends who's lives he touched deeply.
