Dennis Cowan

Peg and I talk about Dennis and Mary regularly and recall the kindness of their families when Dennis died. I loved meeting him in our residency together at the KCVA Hospital and being in practice with him. Even as we moved to Scottsdale I would return to see him and do clinical work. Even though I am now retired, I still see him and feel blessed that we was (and is) a part of our lives. Bob and Peg Briggs

Mary,
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of Dennis. His untimely death was a harsh wake up call as to how short and valuable life is. Having known Dennis for probably 46 years, it's a tribute to him that no matter how much time passed between our visits it seemed like yesterday. He was truly one of my favorite people, and unquestionably one of the funniest individuals I have ever met. I miss him, and know how much you and the kids meant to him. We will always have you and...

After visiting with Dr. Mirza last night, I heard of Dennis's death. I first was a patient in 1985 for three years, helping me deal with my life. We became friends and I came back to him for advice and counseling over the last 20 years, because he always had the right thing to say. He will be missed. Thank you for sharing him with me and others that he helped.

Today while visiting my neurologist I was saddened to learn of Dr. Cowans's passing. Seven years ago after months of confusion and self-doubt following a Traumatic Brain Injury I was finally led to Dennis. His combination of expertise and compassion not only rescued me but proved invaluable for my family. Our struggles with insurance companies and opposing lawyers were nearly erased because we knew we had Dennis on our side. I know that his family and friends will miss the love and...

Dear broken hearted ones.
Dave and I are good friends of Dennis' sister Sandy. We are so very deeply
sorry for your shocking loss of
someone so dear and special in your

and mend your broken hearts. In knowing Sandy, her children and
her parents, Betty and Don, we know
that Dennis must have been a wonderful person.
God bless. We pray for your peace
and comfort and strength. Pam and Dave Rogula

To Mary, Sammy, Joey, Jessie, Meg and the Cowan's:
Please accept my deepest sympathies. As Sammy's aunt, I know how much Sammy loved her dad and how much he will be missed. My heart go out to you all.

Like every entry in this guest book, I also want to share my heartfelt condolences in remembering this special person who left a sudden void in the lives of his family, patients and community. Dennis will be remembered by many of us for his smile, warmth, and many talents. May he rest in peace.
