Gary Wayne Carrier posted a condolence
Wednesday, April 5, 2023
Often folks lose touch over the years. I was deeply saddened today when I just at random did a search of his name and found the notice. Gary and I shared the same first and middle names and he was my next door neighbor and best friend from 3rd grade through our high school graduation in 1966. He was 2 months older than me We had a lot of joyful times through those years. Both of us graduated from ETSU. One of my fondest memories from our childhood was hearing his mom hollering for "Gary Wayne" when we were out playing. My mom always hollered "Gary". I could go on and on about the things we did from playing with toy soldiers and dinosaurs as kids to the sandlot football we played for years with the other kids in the neighborhood. I missed him and saw him on occasion when he visited from Boone for several years until his mom moved to Boone. May God be with you Susan, and all the kids and grand kids. Gary Wayne Carrier Bristol, Tennessee

I am so sorry to just hear of Dr Pitts passing. He was my Urologist for years and I absolutely adored him. He saw all of his patients as people, not just a name in a file.

Susan,
I was shocked when I was informed of Dr. Pitts passing. Throughout my time as an employee at BUC he was always a caring, considerate mentor. I always appreciated he took the time to explain things and provide guidance that I think helped me learn to be a better employee and contributing member of the team. I always enjoyed our discussions at the fish tank whether it was about the clinic, my son, school, or other random things. He was always welcoming and didn't seem to mind if I rearranged his desk a little! Most importantly he provided a solid Christain example to everyone I ever saw him interact with. Truly a very special man that impacted many lives in multiple ways. My sincerest condolences for the entire family.

I’m so sorry for y’all’s loss. I have so many uplifting stories about Dr Pitts. Early morning runs wit Rocky and all the canine running buddies he had.Ice sickles formed on his winter beard. Stopped on a snowy Christmas morning and gave me a student Bible. Memorized Romans 12 at his request. Countless laps at the pool and swim meets around the states. I see him smile through my tears. Godbless Pitts family and thank you fot y’all’s fellowship as a young man. Sincere condolences.

Susan and family. I am so sorry for your loss. Dr. Pitts was one of my favorite urologist at WMC and he always treated us nurses with kindness and respect. He cared for our Mother's urology issues and she enjoyed their discussions about the Bible. God's grace and strength as you mourn Dr. Pitts loss.

Susan and family,
So sad to hear about Gary’s passing, but the good news is we know where he is. I will always remember his description of the crucifixion from a medical standpoint. I will also remember the good times we had at our Sunday School events at your home. You both were great teachers of God’s Word and I’m glad I got to know your children better, especially the girls. Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dr Pitts wasn’t just a urology dr, he was a heart dr. My father, Linnie pope was a long time patient. Dr Pitts was such a part of my dads life that my mother asked him to speak at my dad’s funeral in 2010. I believe that many of my father’s appointments with dr Pitts were spent talking about scripture, Heaven and the goodness of God. Please know your family has and will continue to have a special place in our hearts for Dr Pitts. I am so very sorry for your heartbreak. I’m sure Dr Pitts and my father are rejoicing together in the presence of the Lord. Thoughts and prayers

I knew Mr. Pitts as a Dad to my childhood friend Sarah. I spent many a night in their home. I remember his infectious laugh and smile! I grieve his passing for his wife, children and grandchildren. I pray for healing to surround all of them as they mourn their beloved Husband, Dad and Granddaddy.
