George Stubbs Obituary
He was born on January 28, 1965 in Fulton County, Georgia. He was blessed to be brought up by his loving mom, Joyce, and later, his stepdad, Don. He was the eldest of four children and shared the home with his two sisters, Robin and Lesa, and his brother, Keith. He graduated from Jonesboro Senior High in Georgia, and then attended Tulane University where he met the love of his life, Brenda, while he was a sophomore. They married that year and had been inseparable ever since. Ed went on to attend the University of Oklahoma Medical School, then moved with Brenda, David and Laura to Charlotte to be a resident in Obstetrics-Gynecology at Carolinas Medical Center. The couple fell in love with North Carolina and its people, and decided to stay. Allison was born during this time, and after a four year residency program, Ed joined the practice of Eastover OB-GYN and opened an office in the University area. He was devoted to his patients and loved his work and his partners. He was most devoted, however, to his family. Ed would drop anything at a moment's notice to spend time with any of them. He was aware that time is precious for all of us, and he made the most of every minute.
In addition to his wife and children, Ed is survived by his mom and stepdad, Joyce and Don Parks of Jonesboro; his brother, Keith Stubbs of Jonesboro, and his sister and her husband, Robin and Blaine Collins and niece, Stephanie Collins, all of Locust Grove, GA; and father, G.E. Stubbs, Jr. of Screven, GA. He was preceded in death by his sister, Lesa Strickland.

I was laying here the day after a long day as a nurse on Mother Baby Unit at CMC Main Hospital yesterday thinking about Dr Stubbs. Being only 2 years older than Dr Stubbs, I had the joy of getting to know him on 8D as he came through his years of residency, on into his time in private practice and felt his love and caring professionally on the floor. He treated all nurses and staff with respect, kindness and was so eager to even learn from our expertise in the field. I watched as he cared for his patients of all walks of life and how he treated them all as family, always caring to detail for each and every patient going through their joyful times and through difficult pregnancies and deliveries while remaining professional and very appropriate with all. Through the years his caring never wavered and he always talked of his beautiful wife and children!! After working with him and seeing his devotion to GOD first, his family and then his patients, I developed an incredible respect for his knowledge and caring for all over the years. For this reason I switched over my own care to Eastover OB Gyn and had the opportunity to feel his caring as a patient. He was always listening to detain, never hurrying and even caught up with your family life and aspirations. He helped me through many Gyn issues and even got me through my Laparoscopy seeking solutions for pain that eventually led to a hysterectomy down the line after his passing. Ed Stubbs was truly one of a kind with the same calling many of us have to our patients and love for Moms and babies!! He never stopped caring and many days I think about his interactions with other patients as well as myself even today!! I know Dr Stubbs is sitting to the right hand of JESUS sharing all about his love for HIM, his family and every patient, friend, family member and even acquaintance he ever met. He loved all and never met a stranger!! Very thankful for his devotion and caring for all both professionally and as a patient!! Definitely never forgotten!!

My daughter is 21 and a college senior. Dr. Stubbs delivered her by C-section 3 weeks before he died. I woke to up at 5:00 this morning and thought of him. While delivering Mary, Ed and my husband talked about the Atlanta Braves! I just wanted to say that "Gone, but not forgotten, more than twenty years later."

I am reminded today of just how important kindness can be. Dr. Stubbs was the very definition of kindness. After my first son I became pregnant again. About 8 weeks into the pregnancy, I was told they couldn't find a heartbeat. My appointment was with another doctor in the practice at the time (you had to see every doctor just in case your doctor was not on call when you went into labor). When I found out I was devastated. When I scheduled my appointment for surgery, I asked that Dr. Stubbs be the surgeon. Right before surgery I asked that Dr. Stubbs do another ultrasound just to be sure there was indeed no heartbeat. While that went against the rules, he did just that. His kindness assured me that there wasn't anything I did and nothing more I could do. Though I understand many women go through miscarriages, Dr. Stubbs didn't make me feel like a number. He was compassionate and caring.
Dr. Stubbs will never be forgotten, and his memory will continue to live on in all who knew him.

I'm just grateful that Dr. Stubbs helped bring my son into this world. I give a prayer of thanks often when I think of him. I am sure I will the rest of my life.

All these years later, I still think of Dr. Stubbs as an angel that lived on earth for a while. When I hear of someone who is worried about their pregnancy, I always tell them to pray to Dr. Stubbs in heaven to look after them. Knowing Dr. Stubbs was truly a gift.

I had the honor of working in Labor and Delivery with Dr. Stubbs in Charlotte. He was truly my favorite and just a wonderful, gentle man! He never got upset for calling him in the middle of the night. I had moved from Charlottle in 2001. A friend called to tell me about his death and was in total shock! So hard to believe and still is! I always think about him around Mother's Day. Twelve years, can't believe it has been that long. Hope his family is doing well in knowing how much he was loved and all the lives he touched!

Today, eleven years after the fact and losing Ed is still one of the most heart wrenching and traumatic events I have experienced. I still find myself tremendously touched and overwhelmed by the loving comments of the folks who have shared their thoughts and their loss on this site.
A small sharing of my own thoughts today...
Of GE III...
Who once loved life and life loved
filled moments with excited tension
Dreampt dreams of times idyllic
above and around water symbolic
Wrapped life in swaddling ideallic
shared joy both impish and sincere...
We who shared his time feel blessed to have known time so dear....

While talking with my Son Michael this evening we touched on his birth city being Charlotte N.C. (we have been in NJ since he was 6 months old).I mentioned that the doctor who delivered him was Dr. Stubbs. I remarked at how kind he was and wanted to see if I could find a photo for Michael, now 15, which is how I happened upon this terrible news. I was a patient of one of his partners but Michael decided to come on a day that Dr. Stubbs was on call. I really don't have too much to remark except to say that he had a gift of kindness. In a very busy practice he made me feel like my pregnancy was the only thing that mattered. He asked questions and waited for your answer. In short, he listened! It is a great loss for his family as well as all the lives he touched with his warm heart and gentle words.
Now a funny story. The day after my delivery I got a call from a dear friend that she (also a patient of Dr. Stubbs) was in labor so I went visiting :) You should have seen the confusion on his face when he rounded the corner in her room only to find me -- the one he had finished up with at 11pm the night before! We all had a big laugh.

We are beyond saddened to hear of Dr. Stubbs death. Recently our oldest son, Matthew 17, was working on a school project that involved a detailed account of his life. We of course found a perfect opportunity to share with him our 3 experiences with Dr. Stubbs. At that point, we wanted to share more with Matthew. That is when we found out about his death. We were truly shocked. My husband, Chuck and I, cried. Not only did Dr. Stubbs deliver Matthew, he also delivered one of our sons, Christopher, that was still born. Dr. Stubbs cried the entire delivery and even contacted his own priest to perform last rites when our pastor was ministering another family. Dr. Stubbs even attended Christopher's funeral. Because of this tragedy and the bond we had with Dr. Stubbs, he made sure that when I became pregnant again, that I received the very best, loving care from Eastover. He told me that he would be the one to deliver our third son, Nick, no matter what. He kept his promise and did just that. He even called his wife to tell her he could not make a family function because he was delivering our son. (As he spoke on the phone with her, I puked on his shoes, he NEVER flinched).
Dr. Stubbs was truly the best OBGYN I have ever had. He was an incredible human being and very professional. We have since moved from Charlotte to San Antonio, Texas and now Florida. He is truly missed.
We had the chance to meet his lovely wife, Brenda, on a plane back from Bermuda. There was no doubt that they were deeply in love. My heart goes out to the family and even though years have passed, we pray for his wife and children.
It was an honor knowing Dr. Stubbs and each memory we have is sweeter than the next. Our oldest son has shown interest in being a doctor. Our hope is that if this dream does come true, he is as professional, competent and caring as Dr. Stubbs. There is no doubt we will one day meet this incredible man in heaven.
Blessings,
The Pletcher Family,
Chuck, Bernadette, Matthew, Nicholas & Michael

What a testimony to what kind of man Dr. Stubbs was. After all this time, I am still thinking of him and how much he is missed. I know that I will never come across another doctor like him, he was one of a kind. He was real. THat's the best way I can describe it, Dr Stubbs was the real deal.... He will forever be remembered. I pray that his family is healing. I know he is watching closely over you.

Where do I start? I just learned of Dr. Stubb's death - and I am in shock and saddened as everyone who has written in this guest book has been. We moved away from NC four years ago - I have two beautiful daughters delivered by Ed, and he is in our family scrapbooks beaming with each newborn. During labor he talked about his wife and his kids with obvious love and pride - and yes, he did make us all feel like we were his favorite patient.
I hope your family had a great trip to the Caymans a few years ago - we had talked about places we like stay there - and hopefully those are some beautiful memories you share.
My heart breaks for the loss to your family and to the friends and colleagues of such an exceptional man. I am expecting a baby boy in January - and it won't be the same without Dr. Stubb's there. He was a gifted, loving man. My husband says he was the best Dr. he's ever seen - - and, of course, he wasn't my husband's Dr. (!) - we were truly, truly blessed to know him. I pray God is sustaining you with His love and peace. Sincerely, Jill Sears

I called to book my mamogram today, four months late...I knew Dr. Stubs would be on me for that. When the receptionist told me that Dr. Stubbs was killed I dropped the phone, I told her it must be a mistake and called his office, I was 4 months late for that appointment too. When the receptionist there confirmed the news, I just burst into tears. Like everyone else who has signed this book, I felt the Dr. Stubbs was a personal friend. I was an at-risk patient and had lost two children when I first saw him in 1995. I was pregnant for the third time and had just moved here from Michigan. A friend had referred me and said he was the best. He was. I was terrified of losing another baby especially since my first was stillborn at 8 months. Dr. stubbs talked to me for almost an hour, he had such a great smile and made you feel that you were the most important person he had to talk to. When Jake was born, I remember he said, "I think this boy will walk himself to the nursery". It had been 5 minutes short of a 24 hour labor and Dr. Stubbs never left the hospital. I loved taking Jake with me for my subsequent appointments, he was so great with kids. Then my daughter was born and he was on vacation so she was delivered by Dr. Fox, I did my follow-ups with him and due to some problems after delivery I had to call him a lot, he was always happy to help. After surgery due to a cancer scare, Dr. Stubbs was a rock of support. I just always thought he would be there when my daughter had her babies.
He spoke often of his own kids, I could tell his family meant the world to him. My Jake picked out a Mark Martin racing shirt to bring him and loved to talk racing.
I am so sorry for your family and for all of us whose lives he touched. I will pray for you, and thank God everyday for people like Dr. Stubbs. I feel truely blessed for having known him.
Melinda.

I have visited this guest book often over the pasy year, and I have received so much comfort from each of your messages. It has taken me this long to be able to respond to the wonderful people that were such a big part of my sons life. I have not met most of you, but he spoke often of his joy at being allowed to share in your lives. I can't express to each of you how you have touched me by shareing your memories and your love for him. It is incredible to know that your child is loved and missed by so many people. I want to thank each of you for the tender gift of shareing that you have given us all.
lovingly,
Ed's mom,Joyce

It's hard to believe I signed this same guestbook a year ago. It saddens me to know a year has already gone by. My 3 year old daughter has been asking questions lately about her birth and I always let her know that Dr. Stubbs saved both of our lives. I will be forever grateful for him and remember him always. Thank you for giving my daughter the life she has today and giving me the opportunity to see it.

It has taken me a long time to get up the courage to sign this guest book because I get emotional at even the thought of Dr. Stubbs. I had the honor of working with him, and the loving staff of the Eastover office for almost two years. I have never worked at an office where I honestly felt like family. Dr. Stubbs was the last doctor in the practice to hear my son's, now 2 years, heartbeat before I moved to Charleston, SC. He had a way of making each person he encountered feel special. I appreciated him very much, and just to watch him with his patients made you smile to know there were still doctors in the world who actually care about the individual.
My heart is aching for his family, and I only hope you can find happiness in your memories of him and his accomplishments. He was a great man.

I have just learned of this tragic loss. I moved out of the Charlotte area two years ago, but while I was there, Dr. Stubbs was my doctor. He was truly a wonderful and caring doctor and helped me through a very difficult time five years ago. I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget what he did for me. God bless you and your family.

It may be unusual for a man to sign this guestbook. I have read a number of the entries from the ladies. I just have to add my perspective from the husband of one of Dr. Stubbs' patients. My wife could be a hysterical mess, and Dr. Stubbs would have her calmed down faster than anybody I have ever seen. He truly was blessed with a gift that not many men of this world have. My prayers are with his family and those many who were touched by his gentle nature.

So, next week will mark the three-month anniversary of Dr. Stubb's death. I still feel so sad about this senseless loss. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with Ed's family and friends -- particularly his Eastover family since that is the context in which I knew him.
I'm so glad that I got a chance to got to the funeral (and take my 3-week newborn). Dr. Stubbs delivered both of my children by c-section. I left the funeral with the intention that I would remember Dr. Stubbs by trying to be more like him.
The quality in Dr. Stubbs that always impressed me most was his ability to be entirely present when speaking with a patient. I know that he had to have heard the same complaints, questions and comments over and over again. Yet, when I spoke with him, I always felt that I had his complete attention -- and I never felt rushed. That's a rare thing in today's world of managed medical care.
So, now I try to be fully present in my conversations. I don't always succeed, but when I do, I'm usually remembering Dr. Stubbs.
I used to think that my husband and I had a unique and special patient relationship with Dr. Stubbs. He made both of us feel like we were important to him. Now I can see that he made all of his patients feel that way! What a special person. What a great legacy.

Hello Mrs. Stubbs, my name is Nora F. Stocks. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I learned of Dr. Stubbs passing last week from Dr. NG. I was referred to Dr. Stubbs by Dr. NG in 2001 for mutiple issues. I just want to say that I was terrified to learn that I must be put to sleep, and to have a surgical procedure performed to correct my problems. Fortanutely, Dr. Stubbs eased my concerns. He explained the procedure to me and my husband, and provided us with all possibilities. My recovery was fast, and because of his work, I was pregnant when I arrived at the the infertility specialist. Dr. Stubbs seemed to really enjoy his work, had a genuine concern for his paitents, and a high level of respect for life. Dr. Stubbs will be missed by us all. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. NFS.

To everyone who has supported our family since Ed's death:
Thank you for all your kind words in the guest book, for the flowers and cards, for the meals and the help around the house. I have been incredibly touched by the outpouring of love that we have felt. The stories about Ed make me laugh and cry. I haven't been able to read everything you all have written, but I treasure it all.
Thank you again for your thoughts, your prayers and your love.

To the family of Ed, Dr. Stubbs, I just wanted you to know that I still think about him everyday as I'm sure many do. I am still in shock and grieved by his death. Four days before Dr. Stubbs' death my next door neighbor died of a massive heart attack, he was 44 with two children. My husband and I have both Dr. Stubbs' picture and our neighbor's picture on our refrigerator to remind us how special these two men were and to live everyday like Dr. Stubbs did, to the fullest. In about three weeks I will be having my second son, I am very excited but I wish Dr. Stubbs were here to deliver him. To the family, thank you for sharing such a wonderful man, he is missed and will always be remembered.

Dr. Stubb was my Doctor and also my daughter's doctor. We just found out today when we called to make an appointment that he was no longer with us. I just want to let his wife, children and parents know what a wonderful man we thought he was. He was so kind and understanding and he will be missed by so many people. He ofter spoke of his wife and children and his parents and I could tell from his voice how proud of them he was and how much he loved them all. You are all in my thoughts and prayers and Dr. Stubbs will be missed by everyone that knew him.

I've had the pleasure of working with Dr. Stubbs since his third year of residency. I remember... when him and his young family lived in the pink house behind CMC...when him and Dr. Fox would walk down the clinic hallway, just as they would the hallway of Eastover, or University Hospital... seeing him in church (at St. Thomas) every Sunday...our kids being in the same middle school and discussing teachers and curriculum...the compassion that he had for each and every patient...but most of all I remember the love and adoration he had for his family. His face would always light up and he would get that grin on his face whenever he talked of them.
I used to ask him if he ever would have thought that the practice would have grown like it did, and that smile would hit his face and he would chuckle and say no. How could it not have been a success with his golden personality???
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him, and when I do, I automatically think of his whole family. You must be so proud to know how people feel, and I hope you can eventually read these entries and smile.
They say it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you. it's what you leave behind you when you go....I've never seen such an outpouring of sadness in the Charlotte area...that says it all.
Thank you for the lessons you taught all of us, Dr. Stubbs. You are missed by so many people. It comforts me to know that you are in heaven, and will be waiting for everybody with that smile and reassuring compassion.

I signed this guestbook sometime ago, but I just wanted to write in again to say I still think of you, the family, everyday. It seems that the entries to the guestbook have slown down a bit, but I know your pain hasn't. I think about Dr Stubbs everyday, still in disbelief. I'm so glad I'm done having my children (2) because I wouldn't want any other doctor to be there for me and my family. But I'll never stop thinking about you, his family. I constantly wonder what the day must be like for you all the time. I'm sure there are alot of other people that still think about you. Even though we go on with our lives, please don't ever think that we've forgotten you because we haven't. Things will probably always come across our paths to remind us, such as, this weekend, my brother was in a restaurant eating and started choking. A waiter had to perform the heimlic maneuver on him. Things happen so fast, we have to live each day to the fullest. Please know that you will always be on my mind and in my heart and I'm sure alot of other people feel the same way. May each of you continue to find some kind of strength in God and each other. I know Dr Stubbs is looking down and smiling on you everyday. Sincerely, Tawana Jacobs

Dr. Stubbs was a funny man and a great guy. He was making me laugh the night I came into the delivery room to deliver my son and he asked all kinds of stuff, but i was in pain so he was making jokes because it was a full moon that night. He didnt have to get it all the way out that i needed some drugs, and I said yes sir before he finished and we started to laugh. He never got to see my son and I hate that. He will be missed and my prayers go to his wife and kids. We love you all. Signed, Shannon and Jaylen Pharr

I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Dr. Stubbs in Labor and Delivery at University Hospital. I had the highest respect for him and admired his way with people and the love of his family. In between deliveries at night he would sit and talk about his family, tell jokes and ask about our lives. One evening I had to call him to come in and he said that's ok - I don't care if I am up all night because I have had the most perfect evening - fishing, eating dinner and spending time with my family. He is truly missed everyday and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

I had the privlege to work with Dr. Stubbs in labor and delivery for the past three years. I was always so impressed at how much he cared for each and every one of his patients. He would always sit down on the side of their bed and say if this were my wife, this is what I would do.
To Brenda, David, Laura and Allison,
Ed spoke of you all lovingly and often. Thank you so much for sharing him with us. He has made an incredible impact on so very many lives.
Ed, many times we do not share with people how we felt about them. I hope you know how much I enjoyed working with you. You taught me so much about OB and kindness. You are missed. We all could only hope to leave behing such an incredible legacy.

Ed was both my brother and my hero in so many ways. Many of you knew him as Dr. Stubbs; I knew him as Eddie, or in later years, as simply Ed. He was the best big brother a younger sister could ever have.
Now, almost one month later, the void in my life is still so large. I am not sure how to fill it, but I do know one thing for sure: my brother loved his family and his patients. He did a lot of wonderful things in his short life, and I am so proud of him. Thank you all for your wonderful contributions to this site. You have made this tragedy somewhat tolerable, and I thank you with all my heart.
God bless you all.

I feel so sad to hear about such a great loss. I have been a patient of Dr. Stubbs for the past several years and he has really touched me so deeply as a doctor. He helped me through a very difficult miscarriage this past fall. He had such a calm, compassionate and trusting way about him that really made him so extraordinary. I was really looking forward to Dr. Stubbs delivering my second child. He will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers will be with his family.

I would like to say that I was a patient of his in the year 2000. I had the opportunity to see him regularly and was thrilled that I had found the doctor I had always wanted. He was the most wonderful, caring and patient doctor I had ever met. He will be greatly missed. The loss of Dr. Stubbs is a great loss to the community. He was truly one in a million!!!!!

Dear Brenda and family,
Words can not express the sadness I feel for your great loss! Dr Stubbs was an amazing doctor with a flare of his own. My fondest memories were of talking to him in Labor and Delivery at night about his famiy,and of opening our fantasy office in the grand cayman islands. The last night I worked with him he had left his keys at the desk (as he always did), so another nurse and I hung them from the call room ceiling as a joke with a picutre of him with a mustache. I never got the chance to ask what he thought about that.
We all loved working with him. He brought fun to the unit at University, and fought for the nurses and staff. He will be greatly missed by all!

Brenda, David, Laura,and Allie..
Chuck and I are still devastated about Ed's passing...I can only imagine what you and the children are going though. I remember Ed coming to pick David up one evening. We were having quite a discussion about how much he loved diving with his family, and that he hoped to retire,(at an early age) to the Carribean, open a little women's clinic, and Dive to his heart's content....I can just picture him now in Hawaiian print scrubs. Of course, there would still be the ski trips to Utah, Colorado. He was such a family advocate,as evidenced by the outpouring of love by those who knew him....Each day,(as posted on my mirror), I remember,too, the words at his service...I ask myself..."What aspect of Ed do I want to pass on to others today?"...EVERY DAY I SAY....HIS SMILE, I WANT TO PASS ALONG HIS SMILE!!!!
You all were truly blessed to have him as your husband, and father. I am sure that you will honor him each and every moment as he looks down from above!!! I know how proud he must be of each of you!!!!Don't ever lose sight of the fact that he is with you always in a very special place...YOUR HEART!!! We Love you all. We're here for you...

I never knew him as Dr. Stubbs, I knew him as Eddie. Keith, Robin and Lesa's big brother. When we were kids our families would often get together and visit. I will always remember how much fun we all had cutting up together. Eddie seemed to never be without a smile and he had a gift for making you feel good. I am not suprised that he made such an impression on so many others.

I have been out of town and read our mail last night to find out the horrendous news about Dr. Stubbs. I would like to share a small but extremely important incident that shows you the wonderful person Dr. Stubbs was. Several years ago I had not been a patient of Dr. Stubbs for very long, when I ran into him at CMC when my Mother was very ill. He remembered me and had the kindest words to help give me support during that time. My next visit was 4 or 5 months later and he still remember to ask how my mother was. I have recently lost my mother this year so I know the pain you and your family are going through and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Everyone tells you it will be better and they are in a better place but that does not ease the pain of not being able to touch, hold or talk to them. Our comfort is they are in heaven getting ready to meet us one day. There are not enough adjectives to say what a special man Dr. Stubbs was. The world has lost one of the good people. May God give you comfort.

On Monday, I opened my weekend mail and read the office letter reporting Dr. Stubbs death. I am deeply saddened by this news. When I saw Dr. Stubbs on May 5, we had the usual conversation about weightloss options, the latest medical information and family updates.
Dr. Stubbs had that perfect balance of warmth and professionalism.

I was shock when I read the letter from Eastover about Dr. Stubbs death. Dr. Stubbs was a Godsend.I had been going to Georgia for treatment for my endometriosis. Had I been a patient of Dr. Stubbs I feel I would have never had to go to Georgia for my surgeries. My first visit with him told me what a kind, compassionate and family oriented person he was. He thought it was neat that my husband and I married young and were still married after 25 years. I wish there was something I could say that would help ease the pain his family is feeling. It makes you think of the song "Only the good die young". Dr. Stubbs was one of the doctors you went to and left his office feeling like he really cared for his patients. He spoke lovingly of his wife and children. He will be missed. My heart and prayers go out to Eastover and his family.

I am still in shock and disbelief after reading the letter I received from Eastover. All I keep thinking about is how I was just laughing and joking with him at my 12 noon appointment that day about him making sure he tied my tubes right. He delivered my first child and made that a wonderful experience for me. He was always so happy and talked about his wife and children often. I will truely miss him. My prays are with the family.

I was deeply saddened by the letter I just received today. Dr. Stubbs was the most compassionate doctor I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I have been a patient of his since 1993 and have referred many of my friends and family to him. An example of his caring nature was this past March when I received a call from his nurse, Betty. He had received a report from a Specialist I had seen and he asked Betty to call to make sure I make and keep a follow-up appointment with the Specialist. I wonder if other doctors would have had their staff call me or just file the report in my file. My heart is broken for his family, his staff and his patients. My prayers are with you all.

Dear Brenda, Children, Friends and Family,
I grieve...what a tremendous loss. As a physician he was truly gifted and compassionate and as a family man he was truly devoted and attentive. I will miss seeing him at his children's sporting events as my child and his were often on the same fields. I will surely miss him as my doctor and friend...the void he leaves in the community is nothing compared to the void he leaves behind in his family. My prayers and heartfelt sorrow go out to his family and those he worked with every day. Our loss is Heaven's gain.

I was shocked to recieve a letter stating that Dr. Stubbs had been killed in a car accident, as a police officer I try not to watch the news and did not know of the deadly accident. I saw Dr. Stubbs around 2:00 that day and got the great news that I was pregnant. I have been a patient of Dr. Stubbs for about 7 years and as all the other postings have stated he was a wonderful doctor. I was looking forward to experiencing my first pregnancy with the help of Dr. Stubbs. He will be greatly missed. I continue to pray for the family, friends, and co-workers that Dr. Stubbs left behind.

To the family of Dr. Stubbs
As I was reading my Sunday paper, I was saddened to discover the touching memorial to Dr. Stubbs from Carolinas Healthcare System. It was the first I had heard of his death and it completely shocked myself and my husband.
Dr. Stubbs delivered our our first child, Sydney in November of 1998. And I could not have asked for a more compassionate, caring doctor. After a difficult birth and subsequent DNC, I felt so grateful to Dr. Stubbs and the wonderful way he took care of me. He was always there if I had questions or concerns and it made being a first time mom so much easier. He was truly a gifted doctor.
My family will be praying for each of you. I cannot imagine what you are going through, but I do know that God will give you the strength needed. May God bless each of you as I was blessed to know Dr. Stubbs.

I just received the news of Dr. Stubbs death. I am in shock and so saddened. He was a wonderful doctor. He always made me feel like he had all the time in the world to listen and talk to me. He gave the meaning to "compassionate doctor". As devoted as he was to his patients, I can imagine how devoted to his family he must have been. He will truly be missed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,

I just found out about Dr. Stubbs, and I was greatly saddend like many others. He was my favorite doctor. He was the reason I went to Eastover. I will miss him greatly. My heart goes out to his wife and children, also the rest of his family and friends. The world could not ask for a better doctor. He was a very compasionate man. He always made me feel very comfortable while I was at my appointments. I want to say thank you to his parents for raising such a wonderful man. I am sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Dr. Stubbs. It was an "honor" having him as my doctor. There aren't words to describe the care, compassion and professionalism that he demostrated throughout my entire pregnancy. Dr. Stubbs delivered my daughter in April of 1996 and then helped me through a difficult miscarriage two years later. I am in absolute shock since hearing of his death. I relocated to New York 5 years ago, a friend e-mailed me and delivered the sad news. My heart goes out to the family and all who knew this wonderful man. He will be missed dearly.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and colleagues of Dr. Stubbs. He was my doctor for close to ten years and helped me through a high risk pregnacy in 1996. My husband and I will never forget him for his expertise, attentiveness, and kind demeanor, not to mention his infectious smile. He never failed to ask about my son and was always interested to see a picture from T-ball. I will truly miss him.

Let me first extend my deepest sympathy to Dr.Stubbs family. I am truly, deeply sorry for the loss of a wonderful man.
I called today to schedule with Dr. Stubbs. I was truely upset when I was told he was no longer with us due to an automobile accident.
As with many other children, he delivered Jaquelyn in the midst of confussion and never lost his cool.
I remember one mother's day my husband to me out to dinner. Dr Stubbs, his wife and mother were there also. On the way out he stoped to speak and ask of Jaquelyn.
He was a wonderful Dr. that no words are enough to explain. I know how I feel at this moment, so I know his family is hurting 100x's over.
Again, My deepest sympathy to his family.

Dear Brenda and Family,
We, like so many others, were devastated to hear the news. I cried for an entire day when my husband broke the news to me. We have grieved, prayed and thought of your family since we heard the news last Tuesday. We are so saddened for the loss of a wonderful family man, extraordinary physician and friend to all that knew Dr. Stubbs.
Dr. Stubbs had the magic of a smile and a kind word that put you right at ease, a laugh that made all your troubles and worries disappear and an open-heart that allowed you to ask the most difficult questions of a physician and friend. While he was extremely busy, he never rushed - he came in to your appointment a physician and left as a friend.
During my pregnancy, we actually looked forward to appointments-especially with Dr. Stubbs. We (my husband and I)always left talking about how much we really liked him.
He was scheduled to deliver Emme on May 7th-but she finally decided to arrive on May 6th. As we pulled up to the emergency room, Dr. Stubbs was on his way out and back to the office. We chatted and laughed that day...and when I saw him during rounds on Wednesday. We talked and I laughed that he was supposed to deliver Emme...and in his usual style he said, "I hope I will have the opportunity to deliver your next one."
Dr. Stubbs was a gift to the women he treated, counseled and consoled through difficult pregnancies and to the thousands of little ones that he helped to arrive here safely.
Thank you for sharing him, his talents and his many gifts. He will be missed by all that knew him.

My heart goes out to the family in their time of bereavement. I just found out today 5-21-03 of your loss. I truly am sorry! I had just met with Dr. Stubbs in April, for the 1st time. He was the only one that could find my baby's heartbeat. He was very patient and kind, and he will truly be missed. May God Bless each and everyone of you!

To the Stubbs Family:
I am so saddened to have just learned this morning of the death of Ed Stubbs. Dr. Stubbs became more than a doctor to me. He was also a friend. He delivered our second child, a boy, on 4/24/96 and with Blake weighing in a 10 lbs., 5 oz., Dr. Stubbs always loved to joke about my reaction as Super Mom on that day. He was always so light hearted and always cared about what was on my mind, be it the children or what was the answer to my medical need. Interestingly enough, he had not seen my son again and Blake and I just ran into him in Home Depot. He was just hanging out buying some things for the house. I am glad my now seven year old got to meet him, as he was such a good man. I cannot stop thinking of the sadness we will all feel for so long. God Bless you all. You are in my prayers.

I am sincerely sorry for your loss. You all are in my prayers. Dr. Stubbs helped deliver my little girl back in May of 2001.

Even during my pre-delivery visits, he always took the time to answer the many questions and concerns I had. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

He delivered my son recently and I can say I appreciate his profound impact on my life. I am saddened for your loss. I know my prayers will be heard loud and clear as I remember him and your family always. He was a gentle soul who helped so many. Please accept my condolences.

On behalf of my brother, Dennis Moreland, I would like to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family. I was shocked (and I still am) at the sudden passing of Eddie. Dennis and I went to school with Eddie. He and Dennis hung out together with Chuck Inman. We never had the pleasure to know him as Dr. Stubbs, but from reading the condolences from his many patients, I am absolutely sure that he was every woman's dream of what a "Good" doctor should be.
Eddie was such a kind and caring person. Always pleasant and a blessing to be around. My brother, Dennis, has been in Iraq with the Marines. He is a Combat Medic and has been on the front lines of war and will not be home any time soon. I am sure Dennis would have wanted to let you know that your family will be in our prayers. I wrote Dennis a letter to let him know about Eddie and I'm sure you will be lifted up daily once he receives his letter in about 45 days from now. May you find strength, comfort, guidance and friendship from our Loving Heavenly Father during the up-coming days. (1 Corinthians 10:13) May you find comfort in reading God's word. Human words can never bring peace and comfort like the power of God's word can. I will be praying that God will bless you exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond your expectations!!!!! and that He will provide for your every need.
I am so sorry for your loss. Even though I have never met you, please know that if there is anything I can do for you in addition to pray, please do not hesitate to let me know.
In His Love,
Dennis and Kathye Moreland-Reeves

Dear Joyce, Don, Robin, and Keith,
My heart is breaking for your family at this time. I heard of the news just this morning in an email sent to me. After total disbelief and shock I came to the guestbook to read the condolences as some sort of proof of this sad news. After reading 38 pages of letters from his patients and his friends...it only confirms what I knew about him when we were younger and in school. He was a truly caring, kind and WONDERFUL person. I am SO PROUD to have been able to call him my friend! I did not get the chance to know him later in his life as a "Doctor", or see him being a "Family Man." I did however witness him being a "Son", a "Brother" and a "Friend." He always talked warmly of his family and bragged on his beautiful sisters, his talented brother, and yes, he even thought his parents were great! (most teens would never admit that one) He first learned Kindness, humility and compassion from YOU...HIS FAMILY. I saw first hand his compassion and gentleness with Lesa. I know that had to be a happy reunion between the two of them up in heaven! Wish I could have seen that!
I will always picture Eddie with a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face....
..." In Remembering, we keep what is best and dearest as Treasures Forever."
May you find comfort in Remembering.
God Bless you all,
Susan Lambert Moses

I cannot express enough to you how shocked and devasted our family was upon hearing of your loss! I have been a patient of your husband for the past eight years. I feel deeply blessed that I had an appointment with him just a few hours before the accident. We got to have another one of our great conversations about our families and just "catching up" as we had always done whenever I saw him in the office, or at the gym or any of the other spots around town our family would always cross paths with "Dr. Stubbs". He was the most compassionate Dr. I have ever come across, who was not only so intelligent and caring but never made you feel like a patient... but like a friend! He never forgot anything you ever said to him and always acted like you were his "most important patient" even though you really knew they all were! Of course, just as so many, he helped me through a difficult pregnancy and other difficult medical situations with so much caring and understanding I would always be thinking how lucky his family was to have such an amazing man in their lives!! Our hearts go out to all of you! I thank you for sharing him with us! Please know he will be in all our hearts forever!

To the Family Of Dr. Stubbs:
As Dr. Stubbs patient, I found him to be most caring. He delivered my child and was the primary doctor for my second child. He blessed my husband and I by being that listening ear and always patient and caring of us. He always asked about my son. I remember when he delivered him he said "your baby is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen"! I know he said that to every one. My husband and I will truly miss him. To honor him and his life I have chosen to stay with Eastover University even though he is no longer there. I do realize he may not be there in body but his good nature and true love for his patients will continue on! God bless you all and stay encouraged in the everlasting hope of Jesus Christ. God bless!

I just found out about Dr. Stubbs. I was one of his first patients at Eastover. He was such a wonderful person. He always had a kind word to say even if you were as big as the office and about to deliver. He will surely be missed. He touched so many lives and was a joy to be around. We will definitely miss his bright smile. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and coworkers.

To the family of Dr. Stubbs:
Your husband and father was a very special man. He was a wonderful doctor that really cared about his patients. When I first came to him, my husband and I were trying to conceive and had been unsuccessful. He worked with us for a while and then sat us down to tell us we needed to seek a specialists assistance. I will never forget how kind and compassionate he was during that time. We sought treatment for about 6 years and were not successful until recently. When I found out we were pregnant I actually commented to my husband that I wished Dr. Stubbs were here in Alabama. Then when I miscarried, I commented on the fact I wished Dr. Stubbs were my Dr. again. I'm so sorry for your loss and just wanted you to know what a truly special person your husband and father was and how much he meant to his patients.

I am a patient at Eastover OB/GYN and Dr. Stubbs was my regular doctor. He delivered my 26 month old son in March of 2001, and recently delivered my 7 month old daughter in September of 2002. I can't even express the sadness that is in my heart. I am a plus size woman and I often felt self conscious about doctors and how they would perceive me, until I was referred to Dr. Stubbs in 1999. He made me feel at ease and told me not to worry about anything. He treated me with dignity and respect and was always a professional. During my hospital stay after the birth of my daughter 7 months ago, he came into the room around 6:00a.m. to see how I was recovering after my C-Section. I remember him saying that he had just finished his shift and was ready to go home, but came to check on me and my new baby. Dr. Stubbs was truly a wonderful man. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I also went to high school and graduated with Eddie. I remember him best from a conversation we had our senior year. We talked one day about what he was planning to do with his life. He was so intent on doing something that would help people. I can't begin to imagine the shock and pain you're experiencing, but you will see him again and he will always be with you. I will be praying for everyone who loved him and is suffering. God bless Eddie always.

I am deeply saddened by the death of Dr. Stubbs. He was our doctor for several years before we moved to Greensboro. I have spoken often of his compassion when I suffered a miscarriage and he called me at home that night. Before the surgery he offered to do another ultrasound, which I knew was unnecessary but heartfelt. He delivered our second son by VBAC and was very encouraging in my pursuit of that. He was a supportive, caring, thorough doctor and he meant a great deal to me and my family. I hope that these beautiful testimonies to his compassion in his profession offer his family some comfort. Dr. Stubbs often spoke so joyously of them to his patients. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Dr. Stubbs is the greatest doctor I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.He has been my doctor for seven years. In 1999, right after being married, Dr. Stubbs performed surgery on me to remove some precancerous cells. I was so worried but Dr. Stubbs eased my mind about complications and the ability to get pregnant. Five months later I was pregnant.During that pregnancy I had to moved to Texas so Dr. Stubbs recommended someone in that area. My husband and I decided to come back to Charlotte to have our son because of how wonderful Dr. Stubbs was. I had complications with pre-term labor and Dr. Stubbs was right there making me feel at ease. Although Dr. Stubbs was not on call during my emergency c-section he called to see how I was. In April 2002, I had to have a DNC due to a miscarriage. I had two ultrasounds to prove to me that the fetus was not there.Dr. Stubbs came to do my surgery on his day off. He also did one more ultrasound right before the surgery to ease my mind once again.When I got pregnant in November 2002 he was estatic.On my last visit he was able to see our son,Storm. I am due in August and was hoping to have him do my c-section but I guess God had different plans for him. Wow! He was a great doctor and I will never forget his compassion.I considered him not only a doctor but a friend. And yes he talked about his children at every visit. I hope that David will continue his plans on going to Colorado after school, that's what Ed would have wanted. Laura, I am Mrs. Oates step-daughter, he talked about your confirmation and how proud he was. May God give you peace during this time.Remember how many lives he touched and that his purpose on this earth was fulfilled. God Bless your family.

I was one of his patients, only he had a way of making me feel as though I were more than just a patient. He has been my doctor for 8 years. He delivered both of my children (my second was born only 4 months ago). He had such a comforting way about him. He was so kind, caring, and knowledgeable. We joked, laughed, and it was like comedy hour in the O.R. He had the best sense of humer and brought me much comfort. Mostly, I remember asking Dr. Stubbs about his family during a pre-natal visit. His entire demeaner changed. He lit up like a Christmas tree and proudly spoke of his wife and children. I also remember thinking "what a lucky family to have such a loving husband and father". Every time I look at my children and think of their birth, I think of Dr. Stubbs. He brought them into this world and for that I am forever grateful. I was lucky to have known him and my family will never forget him!

Dear Joyce, Brenda and family,
I couldn't believe what I read in my e-mail about Eddie. I am so sorry for your loss. I last saw him in Orlando a few years ago when he contacted me about the area and its hospitals. I am so glad that he was able to do so much in his life and bring so much comfort and happiness to others. He was a great friend at a time in my life when I needed one the most. I pray that God will give you comfort, that prayers will ease your pain and your memories will always be fond ones.

To The Stubbs Family:
I am truly so sorry for your loss. I know a few people who had him as their doctor, and we are all so torn up about it. He was such a wonderful, caring man. I had a very bad pregnancy, and I will never forget the care and compassion that he showed, even though for him it must have been routine.
May God give you the strength to get through this and wrap you in HIS love.

Mrs. Stubbs, How can I even begin to offer my tribute to your wonderful husband? As I have read through the many contributions to this guest book, it is so evident how much your husband was loved and respected; not only as a doctor, but as a person. I have never met you, but you must be a wonderful person for such a man to love you as he did. He spoke of you with all his patients, and always with love and a sparkle in his eyes. Dr. Stubbs performed surgery on me a couple years ago and gave me a new start and vibrance to my life that my husband and I can never thank him enough for. When my husband and I were meeting with him about the surgery, he told us our options and then said to us "if it were my wife, this is what I would do". That is all the reassurance that we needed. It was so evident that he loved you, we knew he would never steer us wrong - and he never did! God gave you a precious jewel in this man, and my heart breaks for your loss. You will be in my prayers as a woman grieving, but more over, as a wife that has lost the love of her life. I will trust that God will grant you comfort as He travels with you through your grief.
To the children, I can only say that your father loved you so much that his heart swelled when he spoke of each of you. You were never grouped together, but were always held as individuals to him. He loved each of you in a very special way, and was so very proud of you all. Each of you were a wonderful gift that he never took for granted. Keep that knowledge close to your heart forever, and use it as a comfort when you are missing him the most. Think of him in your victories and in your struggles, and know he is with you always.
May God grant you all the peace that passes all understanding.

Dr. Stubbs has been my OB/GYN for the past six years. He was always very professional and personable. He always remembered personal details about me, which made me comfortable to share my medical concerns with him. I was always so impressed with his medical skill and great bedside manner dispite his age. I felt that the fact that he was young inabled him to be more compationate about the private medical issues which I as well as all of his patients were delaying with. He will be greatly missed. My prayers and sympathy go out to his wife and his three children, as well as his surviving family. Know that your husband and father was a very fine doctor and he will be greatly missed.

To the Family of Eddie,
I went to went to school and graduated with Eddie. The memories I have of Eddie are only good ones. Eventhough it has been 20 years since I have seen him, I have not forgotten the kind of person and friend that he was. Eddie was a kind, soft spoken, honest man of integrity. I can only imagine that as he grew into the man God designed him to be he was much more of the same. The loss of a loved one is never easy and often unimaginable. The pain seems to touch the very depths of our being and we feel as though how can we go on without our soulmate or loved one. My friend, this is when God will bless you with more strength and grace,love and peace than you ever imagined. I will be praying for you and your family. My heart is heavy because of you loss. Remember that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you and that God knows the pain you feel because we don't experience anything that hasn't passed through His hands first. May God Bless you and hold you in his loving arms. With Love, Jetta Languell-Breeden

I don't even know where to begin. Reading through these postings is such a true testament to the person we saw as a doctor and friend. We have all been truly blessed to have come across such a caring and loving doctor. He cannot be replaced. I cannot say how wonderful the man was during the frequent office visits during my pregnancy and I was so fortunate he was the Dr. on call when I went into Labor. We had been having the labor pains for a few hours and had had several discussions w/ the nurse on call whom told me and my husband I was experiencing early labor pains. When we called back an hour later, Dr. Stubbs talked with my husband directly and advised us to get on in to the hospital. I arrived and was already 10 centimeters dilated when I was admitted to the L&D room. So needless to say, Dr. Stubbs helped me deliver without meds. His work and care were truly amazing.. he was right there with us all the way. He was wonderful. He was with us for the most blessed event in our lives and I believe that is why his passing is affecting me so much. I just adored the man. On subsequent visits to him, he always asked about my child by name and just oohed and awed over her. He is a true testament to how every doctor should be with their patients. He spoke of his family often and I was able to meet you, Brenda, at the visitation. I wished our paths could have crossed at another circumstance. You and your family have constantly been on my mind through this past week and will continue to be on my mind in the weeks/months to come. You have experienced a great loss! I cannot imagine what you are going through. But please know, you have a lot of support out there- outside of your normal circle of contacts. Everyone that was blessed to know Dr. Stubbs is thinking of your and your family and sharing in your loss and hoping that you are able to find comfort in God and peace in his love. Dr. Stubbs was a true angel. We loved him dearly. He was and is a true inspiration to us all. We can only hope to have had as much of an impact on others as he did. He is someone we can all aspire to become.
May God Bless you and your family!
Love, Mike, Kristina and Casey Dudan

During a very scary time of my life, Dr. Stubbs was caring and compassionate as I developed pre-eclampsia. He stayed with me that night until he knew things were going to be okay. I have a beautiful daughter today because of him. He saved my life and I will miss him dearly. My prayers are to his family.

I have been a patient of Dr. Stubbs for several years. He was recommended to me by my family physician when I needed to have surgery. From our first meeting, I knew he would be by doctor. He said, "If my wife were in this situation I would advise her the same way . . . ", and that meant so much to me. After seeing me through that surgery and a miscarriage, he helped my husband and I bring our third child into this world in 1999. I was touched when he asked to hold the baby in the hospital. His eyes told it all that day -- he truly loved being a part of each and every miracle. Like many others, he made me feel like I was more than just a patient. He spoke many times of each one of you and it was evident how much he loved you.
Thank you for sharing your husband and father with my family. We have truly been blessed. May God strengthen and guide you in the months ahead.

I was shocked and very saddened to here of Dr. Stubbs death. I had just recently seen him at Dr. Griffin's funeral and spoke to Brenda and him. I met Dr. Stubbs when he first came to Eastover Ob-Gyn on Brunswick Ave. just out of residency. He was a great person and a kind and caring doctor. When I did see him that day, we gave each other a big hug and it seemed as though I had just seen him but it had been at least 4 years. He had a great smile and always appeared happy. When he first came to Eastover, I was 30 yrs old and he was 29. That is when I felt I was getting older because there was a doctor younger than I was! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathy to the Stubbs family. I went to school with Eddie from second grade all the way to graduation. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by everyone.
