Alton Wayne Frazier
June 20, 1950 – January 14, 2025
Alton “Wayne” Frazier, 74, of Summit, passed away on January 14, 2025 at Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center. Wayne was born in McComb, MS to James Benton and Lonie Mae Frazier and grew up in Kentwood, LA.
Visitation is at 12pm on Thursday, January 16th, with service to follow at 2pm at Hartman-Jones Funeral Home.
Wayne’s life was marked by his love for family, and a passion for sports. Wayne was a proud LSU Tiger, playing football for the University after graduating from Kentwood High School where he was selected All-State three years in a row by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association from 1966-1968.
His professional journey reflected his adaptability and strong work ethic, beginning his career in the logging industry, then transitioning to the oil and gas industry. In the 1990s, he found his final calling as a realtor, a profession he continued until his passing.
Wayne found joy in deer hunting and remained a devoted LSU football fan throughout his life.
Wayne is survived by his wife of 53 years, Margaret Roberts Frazier, his sons Brandon (Rebekah) Frazier of Summit and Adam “Blake” (Penny) Frazier of Witchita Falls, TX, and his granddaughters Elana, Maisey, and Savannah.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and his sisters, Bessie Bell Frazier Brabham and Katherine Frazier Hernandez.
