Ralph Kennedy Frasier (85), passed away on May 8, 2024, in Jacksonville, Florida. Born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on September 16, 1938, to LeRoy Benjamin Frasier and Kathryn OziebelKennedy Frasier, Ralph is preceded in death by his parents and brother, LeRoy Benjamin Frasier, Jr.
After graduating from Hillside High School in Durham, NC, Ralph obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce from North Carolina Central University (NCCU) before serving honorably in the United States Army and going on to earn a Juris Doctor degree from the NCCU School of Law ’65, magna cm laude. He lived a life defined by a relentless pursuit of justice and equality beginning in 1955 when he, his brother LeRoy, and classmate John Brandon, challenged segregation by suing the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Their triumph in Frasier, et al. vs. University of North Carolina et al., 134 Fed. Supp. 589 (1955), affirmed, 350 U.S. 979; 76 S.Ct. 467 (1956), led to the dismantling of racial barriers in undergraduate education, leaving an indelible mark on the nation's civil rights landscape.
Ralph went on to blaze trails in corporate America, becoming the first African American in a management position at Wachovia Bank and, as one of the founding members of the Wachovia Legal Department, serving Wachovia for over 10 years in various legal capacities including Legal Counsel, Assistant Secretary, Assistant Vice President, and Vice President. In 1975, Huntington Bancshares Incorporated recruited Ralph to move to Columbus, Ohio where he enjoyed an extraordinary career spanning more than 30 years as General Counsel, Senior Counsel, Executive Vice President, and Director of diversified financial institution. Upon retiring from Huntington in 1998, Ralph joined the Columbus, Ohio office of Porter Wright Morris & Arthur, L.L.P., a 300-member law firm, as Of Counsel, where he further solidified his reputation as a visionary leader, championing initiatives to promote diversity and corporate governance until his retirement in 2005.
Throughout his adult life, Ralph gave generously of his time, energy and resources to many non-profit and public sector institutions, including service in leadership capacities in North Carolina- the Winston-Salem Transit Authority, Chairman; Appalachian State University, Trustee; North Carolina Central University, Vice Chair; NCCU School of Law Board of Visitors, Member; and North Carolina Family Services, Inc., Trustee; in Ohio- the Columbus Urban League, Trustee; The Columbus Foundation, Distinguished Fellow; Directions for Youth, Inroads Columbus, Inc., Trustee; Ohio Board of Regents, Chairman; Ohio Health Corporation, Trustee and Treasurer; Community Mutual Insurance Company, Director; and OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc., Trustee; and in Nevada- The National Judicial College, Trustee and Treasurer. From 2002 until 2003, Ralph proudly served as Of Counsel to Frasier & Alston, P.A., a Durham, North Carolina-based law firm established by his son, Ralph K. Frasier, Jr., and daughter, Kären Denise Frasier (Alston), and subsequently, to son Ralph’s firm, Frasier & Griffin, L.L.C. until 2005.
Ralph was a Life Member of the NAACP and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., a W.E.B. Du Bois Fellow of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and a member of Gamma Beta Boule, Jacksonville, FL. He especially enjoyed the time he spent mentoring early-career professionals, earning him the nickname, Mufasa, “’King of the Pride Lands’ - a righteous, wise, and kindhearted leader, but admirably powerful and courageous as well.” His passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew him, even as his legacy of resilience, integrity, and service continues to inspire generations to come.
Ralph is survived by his wife of 42 years, Jeannine Marie Quick-Frasier (Jacksonville, FL); his children, Kären Denise Frasier (Abu Dhabi, UAE), Gail Spaulding Cox (Ira; Charlotte, NC), Ralph Kennedy Frasier, Jr. (Durham, NC), Keith Lowery Frasier (Jocelyn; Chesapeake, VA), Marie Kennedy-Frasier Coleman (Columbus, OH), and Rochelle Doar Frasier (Marlon; Columbus, OH); his sisters-in-law, Gillian Frances Bowen Frasier (Brooklyn, NY) and Eloise Marion Quick (Columbus, OH); his brother-in-law, Gilbert Maurice Quick (Frankie; Columbus, OH); his niece Malaika Rochelle Chaney (Steven; Columbus, OH); nephew, Daudi Aljon Quick (Danielle; Columbus, OH); his grandchildren, Margaret-Ann Raub (Kyle), Olivia Money Mills (Brandon), Keith Bernard Griffin, Jr. (Elyse), Jesse Alexander Alston, Keith Lowery Frasier, Jr., Kennedy Mariah Cox, Lauren Kennedy Frasier-Jeffries, David James Frasier, Ralph Kennedy Frasier, III, Christopher Jones Frasier, Jordan Elaine Frasier, Courtney JaëlFrasier, Mikayla Joy Wilkinson, Steven Alexander Frasier; and 3 great-grandchildren, Brenner, Avalynand Baylor.
