Nolberto (Beto/JR) Frausto III, was a loving husband, father and brother, devoted son, and generous friend. He left us entirely too soon, due to complications from COVID, on Friday, February 5, 2021, at the age of 55 in Clear Lake, Texas. He was born on December 23, 1965, in Del Rio, Texas. He attended Southwest Texas State University, where he met his wife of 28 years, Vicki. They resided in Lake Jackson, TX. They were blessed with 5 beautiful children, Nolberto (Bear), Victor, Diego, Emily, and Max, all of whom have grown into remarkable young adults. Beto was fiercely proud of his children and loved to brag about them to anyone who would listen. Since his passing, friends have described him as being "larger than life." JR was incredibly service-minded and active in his community. Of his many roles and accomplishments, he is probably best recognized for his lifelong involvement in Boy Scouts of America. He started as a Cub Scout at 9 years old and was active in the program at nearly every level from scout, volunteer, merit badge counselor, scoutmaster, and camp director all the way to BSA Program Specialist at his local scout camp. After a decade of camping and staffing at Camp Karankawa in Sweeny, Texas, his wife and children will always cherish the memories they made with him as a scouting family. Likewise, his time in the Texas State Guard was a living example to his children of the importance of volunteer service. SGT Frausto had a passion for helping others in every way that he could, which was illustrated by his participation in Operation Lonestar during hot Texas summers, his contributions to hurricane and flood relief for weeks at a time, and in his willingness to drop everything to help his fellow Texans and guardsmen. He was well-loved for his cheerful manner and protective nature during deployment and training. He carried that same dedication into everything he did, from being a small business owner and entrepreneur, to teaching others as a firearms instructor, to earning his 8th-degree belt in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu and in every other endeavor. His wife consistently describes him as the most fascinating, multifaceted person she's ever known. Thankfully he left a legacy of service, humor, leadership, and love to carry his family through their loss.
