Our son, Austin Betts Frazier, died Wednesday, October 7, 2009, at his grandparent's home. He succumbed to a quiet, insidious disease: Bi-Polar disorder. Austin suffered valiantly from the ravages of this physically transparent illness since early adolescence. Bi-Polar is incurable and as deadly as cancer or heart disease. It is a disease of the mind and one's mental outlook. Austin is survived by his parents; his brother, Cyril Sease Frazier; and his beloved little sister, Janie Rosemary Frazier; his grandfather, Dr. James R. Sease; and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins from both sides of our family. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Janie Tune Sease; and his paternal grandparents, Robert Y. and Linda Betts Frazier, all of Harrisonburg, Va., Austin graduated from Harrisonburg Baptist Pre-School, Blue Ridge Christian School, Keezletown Elementary, Montevideo MS, St. Anne's-Belfield School and Blue Ridge Community College. He was so proud to be a junior at James Madison University with a major in Psychology., He believed in the Lord and the redeeming grace to be found in Heaven., While his funeral will be private, the family asks that friends go to, and search for "Austin Frazier Memorial" and leave us a message. You may also go to, and leave a note for us on the guestbook., If you would like to help prevent such tragedy from occurring to other families and to raise awareness of this disease and lower the social stigma that the afflicted and their families suffer, please send a donation to Austin Frazier Memorial at The Community Foundation, P.O. Box 1068, Harrisonburg, Va. 22803. We prefer this in lieu of flowers., Austin's loss leaves a hole in our life that cannot be filled.
