Rodney Frazier Obituary

Rodney L. Frazier, life-long resident of Marion, IN, died peacefully in his home on 7/3/2025 at the age of 68.

Rodney was born in Marion on December 2, 1956 to Paul and Violet Frazier. He graduated from Mississinewa High School in 1975. He joined the Sheet Metal Worker's Local 20 in 1978 and retired in 2011 after 33 years.

In 1980, Rodney saw Judy leaving his best friend and next-door neighbor's house, and it was love at first sight. They were married on April 25 and spent 45 wonderful years together. They enjoyed mushroom hunting, camping, watching sports, spending time with their dogs and grand dogs, and traveling, especially to Hawaii.

Rodney was an avid hunter and enjoyed fishing. He also loved to spend time making his family and friends laugh. Rodney was the self-proclaimed mayor of Jalapa and built a reputation as a prolific storyteller. He loved to embellish stories and knew how to entertain his audience.

Rodney is survived by his wife Judy Frazier; his mother Violet Frazier; his children Jamie (Mitch) Wells of Whitestown, IN and Josh (Michelle) Frazier of Marion, IN; and four grandchildren. He is predeceased by his father, Paul Frazier.

Visitation will be held at Armes-Hunt Funeral Home 4601 Western Ave, Marion, IN on Saturday, July 12th from 10-11am with services to follow.
