Edward Guinn Obituary

Edward W. Guinn FORT WORTH--Edward W. Guinn, 93, passed away Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2018. SERVICE: Private services were held Friday at Greenwood Mausoleum. MEMORIALS: In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Diversity in Medical Education Scholarship Fund at the University of Texas Medical Branch, UTMB Development Office, 301 University Blvd., Route 148, Galveston, TX 77555-0148. Dr. Guinn was born Jan. 9, 1925, in Fort Worth to the late Eva and Elvis Guinn. His early education was at James E Guinn Junior High and I.M. Terrell High School where he graduated in 1941. He met his wife of 75 years at Prairie View A&M College where he graduated with a biology and chemistry degree in absentia in 1945 due to his military service in World War II. Dr. Guinn joined the faculty of Prairie View A&M as a chemistry professor before attending UTMB where he graduated in 1956 with a medical degree, serving on the Advisory Committee on Minority Affairs and later receiving the Ashbel Smith Distinguished Alumnus Award. Dr. Guinn held countless professional memberships and served on numerous boards, executive committees and councils. Dr. Guinn was a member of the Fort Worth City Council from 1967 to 1971 serving two terms. He was a past chairman of the Emergency Services Committee, including initiating the EMT program through Tarrant County Junior College. Dr. Guinn was recognized for his community involvement with such awards as a Proclamation from the City of Fort Worth for Community Service, two Living Legends Awards, and on May 17, 2018, the Willie M "Bill" Pickett Legacy Award to name a few. His leisure time, though rare, was spent reading, painting and following his favorite college football teams. Dr. Guinn leaves a large reservoir of those he mentored. His personal legacy is left behind not only through family but those fortunate enough to know him. SURVIVORS: His wife of 75 years, Addie; children, Edward, Cathy, Leslie, Joseph and wife, Maria, Chris and wife, Leah, Clarissa, Jamie, Terrie and wife, Barbara; 14 grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and a host of extended family and friends.

I spend many days in his office as a child and still remember the time he came to our house to see me. But, the thing I most remember is how he treated my parents. He talked to them and put them at ease.The last time I saw him I was in my early 20's. Really didn't think he would remember me after all those years and patients but, he did. He was a great man on so many levels and will be missed. My condolences to his family. Rest in Peace Dr. Guinn.

My heart is saddened. Dr. Guinn was my family doctor for 31 years. My children loved him very much. Dr. Guinn was a man of compassion for people. He loved his family. It warmed my heart as he spoke ever so gently about his brother James. He told me one day that his brother was a big inspiration to him and that he will work until his final day. May God keep you all in perfect peace.Love always,Pamela Adu-Poku
