FRASER

Lonnie Richard Fraser, 62, of Red Deer County, Alberta passed away surrounded by his loving family at the Red Deer Regional Hospital on February 15, 2018 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Lonnie was born on October 27, 1955 in Rimbey, Alberta; the only son and youngest of four children to Robert Douglas and Ines (Bjur).

On December 20, 1974 he married the love of his life, Cheryl Denise (Nakaska). Together, they have two loving sons; Scott Robert and Craig Edward.

Lonnie attended SAIT and acquired the trade of carpentry in 1982. His desire for exceptional detail and perfectionism is evident today throughout Central Alberta and beyond in the countless projects his extraordinary talents have crafted.

Along with his love for work, his love for family was equally strong. Lonnie sacrificed much to ensure his boys could attend sports and education, but always made time for family camping trips, Sunday BBQ's and attending family events. Cheryl, sharing his work ethic and desire to create, together they won the County of Red Deer beautification award for their acreage in 2006.

The most enduring value Lonnie impressed on all who knew him is his unbreakable honesty and ability to connect with anyone. Captivating everyone he met, his unique bright blue eyes and genuine smile is sorely missed. Lonnie will be greatly missed by his loving wife Cheryl of 43 years; sons Scott (Kelly), Craig (Jennifer); granddaughters Alexandra, Rebecca, Jillian, Aubrey and Cara; sisters Louise Becker, Ellen Caldwell and Roberta Johnson; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

The family wishes to thank the countless staff of the Red Deer Regional Hospital for the exceptional care given to Lonnie during his battle, especially for the incredible compassion and care received by the staff in Palliative Care in his last few weeks.

In keeping with Lonnie's wishes a family gathering will held be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made directly to the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
