He was born in Rome and was the son of the late Joe V. Fraser and Meda Reynolds Fraser. Also preceding him in death were a sister, Sherry Fraser Barker; a brother-in-law, Edd W. Carr, Jr; and a niece, Amanda Odom. Known as Mike to everyone, he was the owner and operator of Mike Fraser’s Auto Repair and Wrecker Service and a member of the Baptist Faith. From the time he was five years old Mike started taking things apart and putting them back together. From that, he became the man he was today. He had such a kind and humble spirit and always met everyone with a soft voice and a sweet smile. He started his business in 1980 with his wife, Renee, and his son, Michael. Mike loved his job and felt that he was blessed with the best customers in the world. He was also looking forward to the fourth generation of wrecker drivers with his great-grandsons. When the late night wrecker call came in he and his sidekick, Rudi were always ready for the ride. His favorite pastimes were racing cars, hunting and fishing. He and Renee loved to ride motorcycles and enjoyed many road trips with their biker buddies. Mike is survived by his wife of 51 years, Renee Carr Fraser of Cordele; a son and his wife, Michael and Michelle Fraser of Cordele; two granddaughters Taylor and Logan Godwin of Cordele, and Stephanie and Carter Malone of Blackshear; two great-grandsons, Michael Lane Godwin and Dallas Keith Godwin of Cordele; two brothers, Dennis Fraser and Ricky Fraser, both of Cordele; a sister-in-law, Bonita Carr; a special nephew, Jarrett Carr and his wife, Samantha, and their daughter, Scarlett; a brother-in-law and his wife, Arthur and Julie Carr; and several other special nieces and nephews.
