Obituary: Dr. Virgil B. Lawlis passed peacefully into the arms of the Lord, 22, 2014 at age 89.

Virgil was the youngest child of George and Fannie Lawlis, born 17, 1925 on a cotton farm in Sylvester, Texas, where he grew up with brothers, Frank and Ovid, and sister, Frances. Upon graduating high school at the ripe old age of fifteen, he left home to study animal husbandry at what was then known as McMurry in Abilene. When World War II broke out, he dutifully and proudly joined the U.S. Navy. Being short on medics and realizing Virgil's great intelligence and attention to detail, the Navy sent him to study medicine at the University of Texas where he serendipitously met his beautiful wife, Marjorie, who was also studying to be a physician. married straight out of college and together, they bore the trials, tribulations and triumphs that only medical school can provide.

lost no time in starting their family and were the proud parents of six children, the births of whom span the time from their days in medical school to their days practicing medicine in Austin. Virgil moved his family there in the late fifties to begin what no one could have known would become such an icon in Austin's history. The Austin Diagnostic Clinic, begun all those years ago with just two hardworking physicians, soon grew to house the largest group of Internal Medicine practitioners in the state. He was meticulous in the care of his patients and kind to those with whom he worked. He set a standard for care that his partners, family and friends still comment on to this day. His retirement from his practice in 1990 was a loss for many.

Not one to tarry, Virgil immediately embarked on his second career, raising and breeding Registered Black Angus cattle on his ranch near Bastrop. No doubt using his medical training, he was able to breed some of the finest Black Angus in the country. He won awards for having the highest percentage of his herd registered, at one time owned the number one bull in the country and was a charter member of the Foundation Angus Alliance. He enjoyed more than twenty years working on the ranch and was fortunate to be able to live out his final days on the land he loved so much, surrounded by some of the very cattle he'd help bring into this world.

Virgil was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 63 years, Dr. Marjorie Lawlis, their son, Mark Lawlis and their daughter, Janet Ann Lawlis.

Virgil is survived by his children, Grover Klarfeld (Nate), Bryan Lawlis (Patty), Steve Lawlis (Kim), Diane Lawlis, several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and extended family and friends.

Visitation will be held from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm at Marrs-Jones-Newby in Bastrop, Texas on , 16th.

services will be at 10:00 in the morning at Calvary Episcopal Church in Bastrop, , 17th.

Coffee, tea and water will be available in the parish hall before the service. A reception in the parish hall will follow after the service concludes.

The family will gather privately to lay Virgil to rest next to his loving wife, Marjorie, at Forest Park Lawndale in Houston, Texas.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a contribution to the Henry Gardiner Scholarship Fund at Kansas State University or to Episcopal Relief and Development.

Obituary: Ronald Markham Lawlis, born 12, 1956, was a lifelong football fan. From the time he could play in the peewee leagues he was unequaled in his fervor and knowledge of the players, their coaches and of the game. He spent hours watching old games with his brothers, projected from a Super 8 onto their bedroom wall. And more hours gathered around the TV with the entire family on afternoons, sharing shouts of elation, frustration and glee. Even more hours sitting high up in the stands at Memorial Stadium, watching the 'Horns strut their stuff on the field. But to say this was all he was would be untrue. Mark was a multifaceted man who loved many things: Bruce Lee movies and kung fu, anything starring Clint Eastwood, Jean Claude Van Damme, or John Wayne. Westerns like Gunsmoke, Maverick and The Wild, Wild West were favorites as were crime shows like America's Most Wanted and Alaska State Troopers. He loved shopping at Cabela's and picking out the latest in camo gear. He loved Christmas and was always the first to hand out presents to family and friends. He loved the Beatles and collectibles and his truck and as he grew older, he learned he loved bowling. Even a bum knee couldn't keep him from the lanes and competing for a title in the tournaments he regularly played in. He took pride in himself and his home and he took pride in the life he lived. He made friends wherever he went. He cared deeply for his family and his friends and he tendered a kind heart, especially for his wife. could not have been better matched and he never missed a chance to share with others what a blessing he knew her to be. Mark passed too soon from this life on 5, 2014. We will miss him, his love for life, and the joy he brought to those around him.

He is survived by his loving wife, Teresa Verrell, his daughter, Jessica Lawlis, his father Virgil Lawlis, his brothers Raphael Klarfeld, V. Bryan Lawlis, Jr., and Stephen Lawlis, his sister, Diane Lawlis, his many in-laws, nieces and nephew and cousins beyond measure. He was preceded in death by his mother, Marjorie G. Lawlis and his sister, Janet Ann Lawlis.

Services will be held at the Marrs-Jones-Newby in Bastrop on Sat., 12 at 11 a.m. followed by a graveside service at Fairview at 2 p.m. Memorial donations may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project.

under the direction of Marrs-Jones-Newby , Bastrop, TX.
