Eric Fraley

Eric Fraley, 36, of Cheyenne, passed at his home after a short illness.

He was born on May 29, 1986, in Wheat Ridge, Colorado to Charlcy (Bunni) Fraley and Wade Fraley.

Eric was an avid gamer from the first moment he held that Nintendo controller in his little hands. He even hoped to script games as a profession. Eric also volunteered at the local animal shelter, taking the dogs on walks, and playing with them in the dog park there. Early on, Eric aspired to being a chef and worked at that for a few years. He finally found his true calling when he started working with people with intellectual disabilities. Due to his compassion and patience, he created strong bonds with his clients, and considered them family. Both his clients and co-workers thought the world of Eric, and he will be missed terribly.

Eric is survived by his mother, his maternal Aunt Terisa and her son Coleman, his niece Moira, his sister-in-law Kathryn, his paternal Aunt Grace, his paternal Uncle Chuck, his paternal half-brother Patrick and half-sister Charlotte, his great uncle Jack and great aunt Barbara, and numerous cousins and friends.

Eric was preceded in death by his older brother Charles, his father, his maternal grandmother Jan and grandfather Charles, and his paternal grandmother Grace.

Memorial Service will be at 4:00 p.m., Friday, August 19, 2022, in Wiederspahn-Radomsky Chapel. A reception will immediately follow the service at The Gathering Place, located across the street from the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Cheyenne Animal Shelter, or your favorite charity.
