Anyone know what about Dr. Williams sudden death ?
 

Friend's husband just found out that his cardiologist passed recently ! Called to make his annual appointment and was told Dr. Williams passed and were very sorry if he did not receive a letter letting him know. My friend 's husband never saw anything in the Daily Sun, but may have just missed it. Thinks his Dr. was only in his 50's.... perhaps Covid ? Seems to be hitting the medical community very hard right now.

Here is an online obituary, but it doesn't say how he died.

Dr. Patrick Kevin Williams, 49, of Oxford, Florida went to be with the Lord on Thursday, July 8th, 2021. Kevin was born on August 16, 1971, in Dothan, Alabama to Lee Patrick and Martha Pennington Williams. Kevin could accomplish anything that he set his mind to. He graduated from Chipley High School in 1989, he went to Chipola College and graduated in 1991. He continued his education at Florida State University in 1993. Kevin was accepted into medical school at the University of Florida, where he graduated in 1997. After graduating from medical school, he did a three-year fellowship in internal medicine. When he completed his fellowship, he was appointed Chief Medical Resident for a year. Kevin then completed a three-year cardiology fellowship, followed by a one-year fellowship in interventional cardiology. After school, he went into the Georgia Air National Guard for five years. During that time, he volunteered for two deployments in Iraq as a flight surgeon. He absolutely loved to fly.

He was a kind and loving husband to his wife, Taylor, as well as an amazing father to his children, Olivia and Emmett

I read he had completed two tours in the war zone. May he rest in peace. He sounds like such a good person.

Can't confirm but I heard it was a AAA.

His wife said it was a heart attack, so sad because he was a good man. He loved his multi-colored tennis shoes to make his patients get a good laugh too. He will be missed dearly.

Excuse me WHAT
 

Talking about jeez

You have to consider where that post came from. What a crummy thing to post.

Gracie! I am rarely at a loss for words but this post of yours has left me reaching for what to say — yet — I feel I have to say something.

What an awful thing to say. You could be visiting more sadness upon his family. It does not take much to start a rumor. His loved ones are devastated enough without having to hear that such a rumor-starter has been posted on TOTV.

I truly am somewhat shocked at your thoughtlessness.

In case you are thinking of digging in and giving me s#%t, please don’t. The best thing you could do would be to ask the moderator to remove your post — along with all those, like mine, that have quoted it.

I certainly didn't mean to be unkind. I think we all know of someone in our lives who has done this. People in today's world are under extreme pressure and there is a lot of depression. I didn't mean to be flip at all. We are taught to look for signs of depression because people do commit suicide because they have lost hope or are having mental health issues. We must learn to try to make these issues more talkable. I most certainly did not mean to cause more sadness.


Doctors' Suicide Rate Highest of Any Profession

We shouldn’t be surprised
 

remember the quote we are decent people , we didn’t retire early we worked hard the other paper Orlando sentinel instead of the villages sun is for the other people or something like that you know the ones that retired early didn’t work as hard and your right it was disgusting

I say again
 

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT jeez

Disgraceful to even put that thought out there!! Without knowing any facts, you shouldn't jump to conclusions.

I don't think Gracie meant any harm. Get over it....she was responding with her heart and facts with the article hat she attached is truthful and is about doctors and suicide statistics. I know many depressed doctors.

ATTENTION MODERATOR; Please remove this string of posts!!
 

This is entirely over the top.

this is not the place for such an insensitive comment like that. Why would you post something so ugly
