Emad Barsoum Obituary
DR. EMAD WAGDI BARSOUM, age 44, of Charleston passed away on Tuesday, November 7, 2023 at CAMC Memorial Hospital after an extended illness. He was born on November 21, 1978 in Alexandria, Egypt. Emad worked at Charleston Area Medical Center as an Internal Medicine physician for over 5 years and was beloved by both his patients and colleagues.

Emad was loyal, loving, funny, and exceptionally hard-working. He loved his daughter more than life and worked tirelessly to provide for his family and those in need, despite his illness. His sense of humor and infectious smile will be missed by all who knew him.

Dr Barsoum was my Dr for those 5 years at CAMC. He was the best in all my years there. I am so shocked and sadden by this. I know he is in heaven. May God give his family peace.
