Matthias H. "Matt" Backer Jr.

Remembering Matt as the best gynecologist who delivered the O'Brien babies, and for Lt Commander Edward O'Brien, M.D. USNR who Admiral Backer recruited while in Med School, who then had a very successful two years serving in the Navy.

Our deepest sympathy to the family. Dr. Backer was my and my family's OB-GYN from my grandmother on up for years. He was an exceptional physician and a very kind man. God speed Dr. Backer.

So sorry to hear about Dr. Baker passing. He was a fine man. Our families go way back to the OLP days. Prayers to your families The Kaiser Family

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Georgia and the entire Backer family. Our memories as kids growing up are priceless. Praying God blesses all of you with comfort and peace. Rest in eternal peace Uncle Matt.

I worked with Dr. Backer at St. Anthony´s Medical Center (Mercy South). Wonderful surgeon. Drs. M. Backer & R. Probst a comedy team. Many years ago we all sang Christmas songs with Dr. Backer playing . piano. We all loved him dearly. My deepest sympathies to the family. R.I.P.

Dr Backer was an amazing obstetrician and gynecologist. He was part of Saint Louis University for 54 years. He was department Chairman from 1985-1991. He also took a chance on me and I would not have had my career without him. An amazing physician and educator. He will be greatly missed. Thoughts and prayers to the family. Mary

My condolences to the entire Backer family. We have not seen each other in years Mary Kay, but I do think of you often. I hope you are happy and well. Our mothers always kept in touch through the Medical Missionary prayer group so I would hear about updates on your family news. Our parents are all in Heaven now watching over us! You are all in my prayers, Nancy Klose Ahern

My condolences to the entire family. Dr. Backer delivered my first and third babies. He was a wonderful doctor and I was very fond of him. God bless you all.
