Barry’s Obituary Barry Keyes Fawcett, MD, age 82 died on January 15th. He was born in Austin Texas on April 2, 1937 to Truman and Wilma Fawcett. Barry grew up in Johnson City, Texas living an idyllic childhood in a small central Texas town. From a young age, he was a natural businessman and had a true entrepreneurial spirit. Some of his business ventures as a child include raising 10,000 turkeys, building and running a miniature golf course in Johnson City and working at his father’s pharmacy. He was valedictorian of his high school and attended Southwestern University in Georgetown where he met his wife of 58 years Jo Ann Boozer Fawcett.

His medical career began in Kerrville Texas and he later moved to Hurst, Texas and formed Guthrie, Golden and Fawcett Clinic which later became Mid Cities Family Practice at Harris Methodist HEB. He was a Family Physician in the truest sense taking care of patients with dedication from cradle to grave. He was a lifelong teacher with great practical advice. Hobbies included golf which he enjoyed tremendously. He had many memorable golf trips with great friends and a “hole in one” while playing with his sons on Father’s Day. He was a loving husband and father and will be missed greatly. He was preceded in death by his wife Jo Ann Fawcett and his parents. He is survived by his sons Mike (Jill) and David (Stephany), grandchildren Cameron, Luke, Zach, Maeve, Aidan and Decklan.
