Lew Brazelton’s unwavering dedication for Texas Children’s spanned an extraordinary 46 years. During that time, he served on nearly every Committee, lending his wisdom and expertise to shape the vision and success of our organization. His tireless commitment always placed our patients and community at the heart of every decision he made.

Lew was especially passionate about helping children with autism and changing the lives of their caretakers and family members. With warmth and deep-rooted generosity, Lew worked with Dr. Huda Zoghbi, founding director of the Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's, to advance life-saving research that has transformed our understanding of the disorder and our approach to treatment (pictured on right at a Brazelton family celebration at the Duncan NRI in 2024). As part of Lew's legacy, Dr. Zoghbi remains deeply committed to helping children with autism. Your support in honor of Lew will help Dr. Zoghbi solve this devastating disorder.

Lew’s impact on Texas Children’s cannot be overstated—his kindness, leadership, and generosity of spirit touched countless lives. He will be profoundly missed by all of us here at Texas Children’s, and our thoughts are with his family at this time.

Your gift will go directly to Dr. Huda Zoghbi's research laboratory's Breakthrough Fund to help children with autism.
