My name is Patrick Frazier and I’m creating this fundraiser to honor my sister Megan Frazier. Megan passed away Monday June 6th very unexpectedly at the age of 37 leaving behind my sweet nephew, her son, Seamus (age 6). 

 Megans passing although shocking has also brought to light the vast amount of love she both gave and received in her life here on earth. It became clear very quickly that there were many who wished to help us in securing Seamus’s future financially. 

We have been so overwhelmed in the best way with the outpouring of support from both groups and individuals that want to help by donating to Seamus in Megan’s memory. We thought it best to set up a GoFundMe, that will transfer into a short-term memorial account while we establish a trust fund. 

As we navigate this new season of life we have entered into we would like to thank everyone for their unwavering  love and support. As we move forward and we find ourselves crying and laughing and mourning and dancing, we are grateful to have many of you by our side doing the same. Please keep Seamus and the rest of our family in your thoughts and know that we appreciate your support in all ways it’s been given. 

(Full disclosure, I stole most of this from my wife Mackenzie’s Facebook post as she clearly has a better way with words than I)

Megan N. Frazier, 37, passed away unexpectedly in her apartment in St. Thomas, USVI on June 6, 2022. Megan was born September 9, 1984 in New Castle, Indiana to Donald and Jan Frazier. In her youth she loved music, playing the piano, clarinet, and bassoon through early childhood and throughout college.

She graduated from Shenandoah High School in Middletown, Indiana in 2003 and went on to attend the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York, graduating in 2007 with a degree in Logistics and Intermodal Transportation as well as a 2nd Lieutenant commission in the US Naval Reserve.

Bush’s inauguration parade in 2005 and later Queen Elizabeth II during a state visit. She also achieved her deck officer’s license in 2007 in the US Coast Guard.

After college, Megan began working in the maritime industry, eventually settling in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands where she became a Port Operations Manager with Crowley Maritime for several years until eventually accepting a position as a concierge with Yacht Haven Grande. On the island, she enjoyed spending time with friends and colleagues as well as spending time with her son Seamus at the beach. She will be remembered for her fun-loving nature, sparkling sense of humor, and love of body art.
