Danny Fraser, 89, of Billings, passed away on Sept. 22, 2022, at his home.
Danny was born on March 25, 1935, to Dan and Margret Fraser in Ronan. Dan worked for RB Fraser, managing ranches and working some of his own; thus moving 10 times by the time Danny was a senior in high school. Danny had three brothers, Bud, Rich and Bill, and a sister, Peggy.
All of the boys helped on the ranches learning to ride — work cattle and horses, learning from some of the hired men and their dad.
