Jaime Alberto Diaz

In loving memory of DR. JAIME ALBERTO DIAZ who passed away on October 16, 2019 at the age of 80. Jaime was born in Bogota, Colombia on November 8, 1938 and came to the United States to practice medicine. As a pathologist, Jaime proudly served in the United States Army for 10 years, which allowed him the privilege to travel with his family. After the Army, he worked for twenty-one years at Scott & White Hospital in Temple, Texas and then moved to El Paso in 1999 to practice medicine at Pathology Professional Services. His dedication to his medical career of 54 years continued even up to his last days, where he was a longtime respected physician in the El Paso Community. Jaime can be remembered for his passion for learning and teaching both in his medical career as well as in his daily life. Outside of his profession, he was an avid lover of art, classical music, and history. Most importantly, he was dedicated to his family and was always willing to help them whether locally or abroad. He was preceded in death by his parents Ana and Alberto Diaz, and his beloved brother Alvaro Diaz.
