Personal
Frazier lives in a house built by his grandfather in 1910 called "The Avish" in the suburban city of Harrods Creek, Kentucky. He also owns a 400-acre (1.6 km2) farm in Shelby County, Kentucky. His only marriage ended in a divorce, and he has three daughters.
When asked what it is like to use a wheelchair, Frazier responds, "You know, my brain is not in a wheelchair. It’s just my body. Basically what I have is bone spurs, both within and outside my spinal column. I’m fairly much paralyzed from basically my waist down. With a mobile wheelchair like this, I can get out and move around really pretty well. The last thing in the world that I wanted to do was to stay at home, sit around and do nothing."
Frazier is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, and the River Valley Club. He is a member of the first graduating class of Louisville Country Day, which is the merged male parent school to the current Kentucky Country Day School and received a law degree from the University of Louisville.
