On Saturday, April 10th, 2021, Russell (Sprout) Fraser, loving husband and father of four children, passed away at 54.

Russ (Sprout) was born on May 12, 1967 in Boston, MA. He received his mechanical engineering degree from Cleveland College in 1997. In August of 2011 he met the love of his life Tracy Falardo. Together they raised their daughter Olivia (Punkin).

Sprout had a love for fishing and being outdoors. One could always find him up early enjoying his coffee and tending to his yard or simply enjoying the lake. Russ taught himself both the guitar and painting. The music he made and the art he created were as serene and comforting as his presence. If you asked him how he was doing, he would respond, “Living the dream”. When Russ wasn’t busy enjoying the peaceful things in life, he had a passion for adventuring through Disney with his love, Tracy. Above all he loved Tracy, reminding her every day of his infinite adoration of her. He took great joy and solace in seeing her smile. He was known for his deprecating humor that contrasted with his kind eyes, as well as his appreciation of the healing properties of plants.

Russ is survived by his love Tracy, and his four children, Olivia, Dyson, Stephanie, and Allyson. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday April 20th, 2021 at Lake Who–Knew at 4:20 p.m.
