Dr. Fawzi Nicolas AbuJamra, 80, beloved husband, father, grandfather, passed into the arms of our Lord on July 21, 2015. Fawzi was born in Kfeir, a tiny village in South Lebanon on November 26, 1934, to the late Nicolas and Kater AbuJamra. He exceeded the odds for a village boy and became a renowned plastic surgeon trained at the Mayo Clinic with outstanding careers first in Beirut, Lebanon and after emigrating to the U.S., practiced plastic surgery in Green Bay, Wisconsin from 1987 to 2005. He loved plastic surgery with all his heart and his patients loved him dearly. The lives he helped save and impacted are too many to count. Fawzi married the love of his life, Leila Stephan AbuJamra in 1969 and remained faithfully and happily married to her for 46 years. He came to faith in Jesus Christ in the early 80's and walked humbly and steadfastly before his God.
Fawzi is survived and is already deeply missed by his wife, Leila, and his four children and spouses, Nick and Patricia AbuJamra, Lina AbuJamra, Ramzi AbuJamra, Diana (AbuJamra) and Rafi Sahakian, as well as 6 beautiful grandchildren who brought such deep joy to Fawzi every single day, Maya, Leya, Micah, Benjamin, Fawzi, and Samuel. Fawzi is also survived by his 4 siblings who meant the world to him, Leila, Issam, Abla, and Mansour. Fawzi was the leader of his family in every imaginable way and will leave a void in our hearts forever, though we take great joy in the knowledge that we will be reunited with him in Heaven someday.
