Not sure what to say?

Brian was both my grandmother and Mothers doctor for years until their deaths. He was so caring and thoughtful of both and of my feelings too. The world lost one of the best Doctors and most remarkable humans that we had the opportunity to know and trust. I am so thankful to him and for his counsel, and join many others in missing him.

Dr. Rutledge was my doctor for several years in Ft. Worth. He made such an impression on my life that after 30 years I decided to look up Doc Brian and am devastated to see he has passed. He was the best doctor I have ever had and was so sad when I moved and could no longer see him. I will always remember how proud he was of his daughter and the way the look of love came over his face when he spoke about his wife and daughter. My condolences to you all.

Yesterday, I read of Brian's passing in the TCU magazine...I was pained. Brian, with a great smile on his face would remind me from time to time that I was "one of his first" (patients).....Brian recognized things about my career and the toll it took on my health, twenty-five years before it finally "hit" me ! Brian was KIND, Empathetic, BRIGHT, an astute LISTENING physician...I always knew that when that door opened, I was to be greeted with a great smile and kindness.....I have missed...

I wasfortunate to have Brian as my physician for several years. He was the most empathetic doctor I've ever had, and I've missed him terribly.

May peace be with you as you deal with this great loss.

BR was a good friend, my mother's, grandmothers and my doctor. He was the best and will always be remebered for his knowledge and compassion.

I always looked up to him as a young man. I remember Brian as a vibrant and humble man who set a positive example. It was wonderful to have known him.

Our family met Doc Brian in 1982. We became almost family as Art once said to me. Brian asked me to be Samanthas nanny back in 91.... Wish I could have but was in college. May Val and Sam be lifted up with many prayers & great memories of a BRILLIANT man! My heart is broken. Teri Wright

RIP Dear Pal , Brian ! What a cool Dude , Dr , friend and Wonderful Husband ...............Best Regards to all of his Family & friends .......

Dr. Rutledge was a terrific resource to me and my staff in the public relations department at All Saints Episcopal Hospital. Even with his intense focus on his patients, he was always collegial and accessible when we needed an expert source for a news release to the media, or some wisdom for a medical staff article, event or issue. May your time of grief go gently, giving way to the lifetime of memories all of you in the family must treasure.
