📸 A Moment I'll Never Forget...
This photograph takes me back to a very special evening at Rockefeller's on Washington Avenue in Houston. Standing beside me is the late Mr. Skipper Lee Frazier, founder of Eternal Rest Funeral Home—a respected funeral professional, successful funeral home owner, legendary disc jockey, music promoter, talented musician, and a dear friend of the Pruitt family.
That night, Mr. Frazier personally handed me the script and asked me to introduce him exactly as he had written it. I proudly told the audience that he was not only a dear friend of our family, but also one of Houston's most accomplished DJs, music promoters, and musicians. Then came the line everyone was waiting for...
"Let's remember that Mr. Skipper Lee Frazier brought a mountain of soul to Houston!"
The room instantly erupted with applause, laughter, and cheers. It was classic Skipper Lee—full of charisma, confidence, and heart.
While many remember him for his unforgettable voice on the radio, his promotion of concerts, and his influence on Houston's music scene, those of us in funeral service remember another side of him. Mr. Frazier was a dedicated funeral professional whose passion was serving families during some of life's most difficult moments. Through his leadership, Eternal Rest Funeral Home became a trusted name, built on compassion, dignity, and exceptional service.
Although Mr. Skipper Lee Frazier is no longer with us, the foundation he established continues to stand strong. Eternal Rest Funeral Home is still thriving today, faithfully serving the Houston community and carrying forward the values of professionalism, compassion, and excellence that he instilled.
Looking back at this photograph reminds me how blessed I was to share the stage with a man whose influence reached far beyond one profession. Whether through music, entertainment, business, or funeral service, Skipper Lee Frazier left an indelible mark on Houston.
Thank you, Mr. Frazier, for your friendship, your mentorship, and for showing us that you could build a legacy in more than one arena.
"He brought a Mountain of Soul to Houston"... and he also built a legacy of service that continues to bless families today. 💜
