Obituary of Paul Ronald Fraser

In Loving Memory of Paul Ronald Fraser
1951 - 2025

 

With immense sadness, the family of Paul Ronald Fraser of Consort, Alberta, announces his unexpected passing at home on Saturday, February 1, 2025. He was called home to be with the Lord, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and unwavering love. The world has lost a devoted son, brother, uncle, husband, father, and friend.

Paul was born on December 7, 1951, in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and spent most of his life on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Later, he relocated to central Alberta with his beloved wife Patricia, stepchildren, and grandchildren, embracing a new chapter filled with love and family. Paul had a heart of gold and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Whether
sharing wisdom passed down from his grandmother, telling stories of adventures with his brothers, or simply brightening a room with his charismatic presence, he touched the lives of many. A hard-working and skilled millworker and lumber grader, he dedicated much of his life to his craft with diligence and pride.

Beyond work, Paul found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved singing, gardening, spending time in nature, caring for animals, camping, and going on long walks. He enjoyed watching wrestling, hockey and Star Wars, sharing a good yarn, faithfully attending church and creating cherished memories with family and friends - especially his nephew Henry. Above all, his greatest happiness was spending time with his wife, Patricia, their beloved dog Sasha, their cherished cats, and his stepchildren and grandchildren.

Paul is survived by his loving wife, Patricia Lewis; stepchildren Brendon (Shania) Lewis, Amanda (Stephen) Winchester, Jennifer (Wayne) Ward, Kevin (Lisa) Reilly, and Ehrinn (Bob) Provitola; 10 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren; his brother Phillip (Christian) Fraser; his aunt Mona White; nephews Henry, Richard, and Eugene; niece Delilah Fraser; and many other family members and dear friends.

He was predeceased by his father Eugene Fraser; mother Rita Kelly; brother Stephen Fraser; grandmother Verna Fraser, grandfather Henry Fraser, aunt Katherine Lohnes and uncles Wilson & Roger Fraser.

Paul’s kindness, laughter, and unwavering love will live on in the hearts of those who knew him

May he rest in eternal peace.

A celebration of Paul’s life will take place on May 3, 2025, on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.

Additional details will be published in the Chronicle Herald at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Paul’s honour to the Saving Grace Animal Society in Alix, Alberta a cause close to his heart.
