On March 3, 2021, Richard C. âDickâ Frazier, loving husband and father, passed away at the age of 89.
Dick was born on September 28, 1931, in Portland, Oregon, to Wilbur and Bernice (Proctor) Frazier. On July 12, 1951, he married Joyce M. Lyon in Umatilla, Oregon. They initially lived in California where Dick was stationed in the Navy. After completing his tour in the Navy, they moved back to Oregon where they began raising their two daughters, Linda and Brenda, and son Steve.
Dickâs passion was horses. During WWII, while his dad was away in the Navy, Dick lied about his age so he could race horses professionally. That was followed up by riding rough stock at rodeos throughout the Northwest and working on ranches where horses were a necessity. He shared his passion with his kids and horses were always a part of his life. Even in his last days he enjoyed spending time in his daughterâs barn with her horses.
