Douglas Cyr Fraser, 76, of Smithfield, died on October 9, 2023 after a hard fought battle against throat cancer and Parkinsons Disease.
Doug was born on January 19, 1947 in Lewiston Maine, the only child of Cyr and Gladys Ramsdell Fraser.
He came to Utah in 1965 to study at Utah State University, ultimately settling in Smithfield where he and his wife Joyce raised their 4 sons.
Doug worked for Meadow Gold Dairies for over 30 years and many in the valley also knew him as the ‘firewood guy’; Doug’s love of forestry led him to run a firewood business with his sons for many years.
Doug is survived by his wife of 55 years, Joyce (Thurston) and their four sons, Scott (Kristin), Bartley (Mike), Jeff (Jen) and Erik and 7 grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Birch Creek Assisted Living in Smithfield for their care over the past several years.
