Alexander McClelland Fraley

Our family is saddened to announce the sudden passing of Alexander McClelland Fraley, a resident of Ipswich, on September 22, 2022 at the age of 27.

Alexander was born in Cambridge on July 4, 1995. He completed one year of college at Champlain College in Vermont but came home disillusioned as to what he really wanted to do.  He found success in finance and then went back to school to pursue a cyber security career.

Alexander was an avid reader and writer and had recently picked up a pencil to create art once again.  He loved the outdoors and spent many afternoons hiking nearby trails and kayaking on Stiles Pond with Alicia and Cleo.  He was a free style Parkour Artist and a founding member of Boston’s First Parkour Group. While studying in France Alex took part in a Parkour/FreeRun demo at Stade de la Vallee du Cher.

Alexander is survived by his loving mother and stepfather, Adrienne Mincz and Ernest DiMuzio; his long-term loving partner, Alicia Quimby; their sweet dog Cleo and many aunts, uncles and cousins seldom seen but remembered with love. He was predeceased by his father Brian Fraley.

I believe that Alex’s death….a young man so unique and talented…..should show us that time is precious. He would want us all to live fully, be individuals, speak our minds, let our creativity out, delight in every sunrise, explore and love one another.  When you open up and love you are never alone. You have enough.  My days with my son Alex have been the greatest wonder and privilege of my life.

His funeral service will be held graveside 11 am on Saturday, October 1, 2022 in the Main Street Cemetery, Rowley. Family and friends are cordially invited. Memorial contributions in his name may be made to Learn to Cope, 4 Court Street Suite 110, Taunton, MA 02780. Arrangements are under the direction of the Whittier-Porter Funeral Home of Ipswich.
