Edgar Lee Etier III, M.D., a retired physician, passed away peacefully in his sleep late Saturday evening, May 2, 2015, with family by his side. Dr. Etier was 62 years old. Service: A celebration of Lee's life will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 9, in the Marty Leonard Community Chapel, 3131 Sanguinet St. Memorials: In lieu of flowers, consideration of contributions to a charity of choice , in his memory, is suggested.
Dr. Lee, as many of his patients and friends of family referred to him, was born the youngest of four siblings on Nov. 14, 1952, the son of Patricia and Dr. Edgar L. Etier Jr. After graduating from R.L. Paschal High School in 1971, Lee attended Texas Christian University and continued into medical school at Texas Tech University before being welcomed into his father's private practice on Eighth Avenue in 1985. Lee's hobbies spread far and wide; he was an avid archer and bowyer, marksman, cyclist, hunter and lover of the arts. He was a general "Renaissance Man" who could tell you more about cinema than any Leonard Maltin movie guide ever published. Sixty-six years after being established by his father, Dr. Lee oversaw the closure of the practice pending his retirement earlier this year, just shy of his 30th anniversary of practicing medicine. He was preceded in death by his father and his sister, Michele Etier Davis.
Survivors: In addition to his wife of 33 years, Jean, Lee is survived by his children, Aimee Etier and Noel Etier; mother, Patricia Nesrsta Etier; sisters, Diane Etier Robertson and her husband, Haney, and Suzanne Etier; brothers-in-law, Tom Davis and Travis Harrell and his, wife, Katherine; nurses and friends, Donna Willis and Peggie Tedford; numerous treasured friends; and hundreds of beloved patients over the years.
