Irwin Becker, MD

Irwin Becker, MD of Bryn Mawr, PA and Longboat Key, FL passed away on March 9, 2026 surrounded by his loving family.

Irv’s journey began at Overbrook High School, and he went on to attend Villanova University and Thomas Jefferson Medical College. In 1965, after serving in the US Army, he returned to the Philadelphia area to practice Family Medicine, where he faithfully served the communities in which he lived.

His love, generosity, and dedication as a husband, father, and grandfather were evident to all who knew him. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 67 years, four children, their spouses, and eight grandchildren.
