We've already had one die in our front lawn and another appears to be on its way. The lower branches are turning brown, and the browning is getting higher each day. Do you think it is a fungus? If so, is there anything I can do about it?

Could be "wind burn". We went through 4 dwarf cedars before finally reaching out to the OSU Extension office here in Tulsa. They said steer clear of this tree and replace them with something different.
Thanks, guys. I'm actually in Yukon. Thought about going to OSU-OKC for help/opinions too.

I think you're right tc...I think it is the ER Cedar giving all the problems. I watched an open field fire that was dotted with a bunch of them and they lighting up like flares. I had a bunch (not sure what kind of cedar they were) around the house and cut them all down per the advice of the local fireman. I still have some but they have gotten so large that I hate to part with them...I think they are junipers.Purkey,
You are likely talking about the Eastern Red Cedar which is turning into an enormous problem in OK. I don't think that is likely what the op is talking about. Not that any cedar is immune to easily burning, but the problem in OK and parts of TX has to do with one specific species.
