R.I.P. - Akhir "Geedy" Frazier

Talk to anyone who knew Akhir "Geedy" Frazier, they all say the same thing — he had that kind of magnetic personality that drew people to him, he possessed the kind of beaming smile that lit up a room. He was a vibrant 16-year-old who didn't look at life through a prism, but viewed things from a broader, wider scope. He had aspirations of bigger things.


His ticket would be basketball, and the Prep Charter (Philadelphia) 6-5 combination guard seemed destined to land a Division I scholarship.

That all changed last Wednesday, when Frazier died at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia due to what his family said was a thickening of the heart. His death shocked everyone in the Philadelphia basketball community, and it started when Frazier removed himself from a summer league game on Aug. 21. As he was walking off the court, Frazier collapsed into the arms of his coach at the Hank Gathers Rec Center.
