PRESTONSBURG, Ky. — Funeral services will be held Wednesday for a popular Prestonsburg physician who lost his battle with cancer last week.

He served on the medical staff at Highlands ARH, where he was director of the physician rounding group and a lead member of the physician covid team.

He was also co-medical director for Appalachian Hospice.

He is survived by his parents, wife, children and step-children.

Visitation will begin at 6 p.m. Monday and continue all day Tuesday at Nelson Frazier Funeral Home in Martin.
