The community of Port Huron, Michigan is reeling with heartbreak following the tragic and untimely death of Dr. Kathleen Fabian, a cherished resident and highly respected OBGYN. Dr. Fabian sustained fatal injuries in a shooting that occurred inside her home, leaving behind grieving loved ones, stunned colleagues, and a city grappling with sorrow.
Kathleen’s passing was not only devastating—it was deeply unjust. Despite her unwavering dedication to healing others and her profound compassion for those around her, her life was taken in a moment of violence that never should have happened. The tragedy is magnified by warnings that had been issued about an individual in a deteriorating mental state who still had access to a firearm. Her death has shaken Port Huron and St. Clair County, sparking calls for both justice and meaningful change to prevent such a loss from happening again.
Dr. Fabian is survived by her loving children and extended family, all of whom now carry the unimaginable weight of losing someone so essential to their lives. Her children, in particular, face a future marked by absence but also illuminated by the enduring love and guidance their mother gave them.
Professionally, Kathleen’s legacy is vast. As a gifted OBGYN, she brought countless new lives into the world, touching generations of families with her skilled hands and warm heart. To her patients, she was more than a doctor—she was a source of strength, comfort, and trust. To her colleagues and friends, she was a beacon of selflessness, wisdom, and resolve.
Kathleen will be deeply missed by all who knew her. The event of her passing was cruelly unexpected and unwelcome—a stark reminder of how fragile life can be, even for those who dedicate themselves to preserving it.
In this time of mourning, our hearts and prayers go out to her family, her children, and all who loved and admired her. May we hold them close in spirit, and may we honor Kathleen’s life not only with remembrance but also with a commitment to the safety and dignity of every life she worked so tirelessly to protect.
Funeral arrangements will be announced by the family in due time.
Rest in peace, Dr. Kathleen Fabian.
Your healing hands and loving heart touched this world in profound ways.
Fly high.
