Fraley was the CEO of the sports management company Leader Enterprises.

He died in the plane crash that also claimed the life of one of his clients, golfer Payne Stewart, as well as the president of his company - Van Ardan, 45, golf course designer Bruce Borland, 40, pilot Michael Kling, 43, and co-pilot Stephanie Bellegarrigue, 27.

Other clients of Fraley's included Bill Parcells, Bill Cowher, Dan Reeves, Joe Gibbs and Cortez Kennedy of the NFL, as well as Major League Pitcher Orel Hershiser.

Fraley was also a former quarterback for Alabama, where he enrolled in 1971. In 1974 he saw some game action as a 4th string quarterback - after the first three quarterbacks got hurt - and lead the team to a 28-6 victory over Tennessee. He started the next game against TCU and accounted for 3 TD's (2 pass, 1 run) in a 41-3 win.
