Ken Fraser

Kenneth William Frazer was born on August 9, 1926 and passed away on December 14, 2009 at the age of 83 years sitting in his chair overlooking the ranch he loved.

Ken married Roberta Harden in 1947 and since then has had his best friend always by his side. Ken loved animals, especially cattle and horses, which were his passion. He was instrumental in the beginning of the Red Angus breed in Canada. Ken took a lot of pride in the accomplishments of all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and loved spending time with them all. In his last few years Ken spent a great deal of his time trying to ensure that there would be a new swimming pool at the Wood Mountain Regional Park for everyone to enjoy.

Ken is survived by his wife Roberta Frazer (nee Harden) of Fir Mountain, SK, grandson Clayton (Corrine) Gibson of Fir Mountain, SK and their children Callie, Cade and Coy, granddaughter Sandi (Michael) Gray of Perdue, SK and their children Gage, Kylah and Luke, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

Ken was predeceased by his daughter Louise Gibson (1999), parents Annie and James Frazer, father and mother-in-law Armstead and Pearl Harden, sisters Myrtle Williams, Dorothy Hutton and brother Archie Frazer.
