Sgt Daniel Frazier of St. Joseph,
Michigan, formerly of Niles, Michigan, graduated from St. Joseph High
School in St. Joseph, Michigan in 2003. A simple and quiet man, he
enjoyed playing his Xbox 360, eating at Burger King and mud bogging in
his 4x4 Dodge. Daniel enlisted in the Army at the age of 22. He was very
close to his family and always looked out for others. In 2006 Daniel
enlisted in the Army and like his brother, dedicated himself to service.
He was a "big brother" to many of his fellow soldiers and listened to
them as he helped with anything possible. Rather than being concerned
with himself Daniel was always giving to his fellow soldiers serving
along side him. When home he enjoyed spending time with his family;
Daniel was a wonderful uncle and especially enjoyed his nieces and
nephews. He was a man of sound character and loved his family. Daniel
had an infectious smile about him that always put others at ease. To say
he will be missed is an understatement. On March 21, 2009 Daniel wed the
love of his life, Brittany Lea Jensen at a ceremony in Kernersville,
North Carolina. While |
the two hadn't known each other
long, in the grand scheme of life, they both knew they had the type of
love that is once in a life time. As a couple the two shared a strong
passion and mutual respect for one another. He is preceded in death by
his paternal grandfather Bruce Frazier and maternal grandfather Allen
Beebe. Daniel is survived by his wife Brittany Frazier, his father David
(Sheri) Frazier, mother Roxana (William) Walter, paternal grandmother
Geraldine Frazier. maternal grandmother Donna Beebe, siblings; Jessica
(David) Marquardt, David (Amanda) Frazier, Marie (Cory) Culver, Amanda
(Mike) McLain, Lauren (Kevin) Lamb, David Walter. Daniel has always been
a hero to his parents and siblings, from the birth of his nephews and
nieces "Uncle Dan" was a hero, to Brittney, Daniel was her romantic
hero, who swept her off her feet. Daniel died at age 25 in Zabul
province, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when a suicide car-bomber
attacked their unit. He was assigned to the 782d Brigade Support
Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg,
