Arturo Da’Naire Frazier was born on February 12, 1978 in Gardena, California to Arthur Daniel Frazier, Jr. and Roni Colette Gatus. “Da’Naire,” as he was called by family, grew up in the City of Compton, attending Laurel Street and George Washington elementary schools, Willowbrook Middle School, and graduating in 1996 from Centennial High School. Afterwards, he attended and graduated from Southern University with a BA degree in Business Marketing.
A smart and opinionated young man who was full of personality, Da’Naire developed into a sensible and practical man with a passion for God. The encounter with his Creator impacted his entire being. He joined and faithfully served at Mt. Pilgrim Church in Compton where he was mentored by Bishop Richard Sanders. A gifted and powerful preacher who was full of the Word of God, Da’Naire handled his ministerial duties with dignity and grace. He served as youth pastor at Mt. Pilgrim for several years. In 2008, he moved to the next level of ministry at Full Harvest International Church under Bishop Clarence E. McClendon, where he was ordained as minister.
“A man’s gift makes room for him (Proverbs 18:16).” Efficient and reliable, Da’Naire was a savvy and stylish businessman who was always meticulously dressed. He was indeed “Straight Outta Compton”: he grew up in Compton, went to school in Compton, lived in Compton, was employed in Compton and consistently served the Compton community. Politically astute and keenly aware of the city’s needs, Da’Naire was a candidate at-large representative for the Compton Unified School District in 2015. He has worked as city liaison for then-Councilman Isadore Hall, III, as project manager for strategic initiatives for the Los Angeles Urban League, as a congressional field representative and case worker for the U.S. House of Representatives, and as a case worker, project manager and field representative for District 62 of the California State Assembly. His commitment and work ethic brought him to the attention of Lori Gay of Neighborhood Housing Services of Los Angeles County (NHS). After hiring him to work for the agency, the two bonded and Da’Naire became an integral part of the NHS family. He worked there until his untimely passing.
Da’Naire was the centerpiece of his family. He adored his mother, Roni. He was her support-base, her teacher, her friend—and her only son. He cherished (and sometimes chastised) his sister Ty’oni, always covering her with his love and protection and providing her with spiritual guidance. He was the spitting image of his father, Danny. Seeing Da’Naire and Danny together would cause his aunts to smile, always commenting on their resemblance! At family gatherings, he would laugh and joke with his cousins as they reminisced about how they grew up together. He was caretaker to both his grandmothers, Opal and Ethel, running errands for them and making sure their needs were met. His grandfather, Donovan, would beam as he listened to Da’Naire laughing and talking. His godmother, Lanette, adored him, and his god-sister, Marina, was his best friend and confidant.
He was—and still is—our hero.
Most importantly, Da’Naire was a prayer warrior and worshipper, being most comfortable when he was in the church. Ministry was his element. Praise was his weapon. Worshipping God came as naturally to him as his life’s breath. The night before he passed away he posted a Facebook video (which has since gone viral) admonishing us that “Nothing Just Happens.” Da’Naire spent the last few minutes of his life on this earth in church, worshipping and praising the Savior he adored. He literally went from glory…to glory!
Cause of death: Struck by a car while crossing the street.

A pure soul who hungered after the Lord.
