James (Jim) F. Marks

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I was a turnner syndrome patient of his and saw him yearly growing up.

I have been thinking about Dr. Marks recently. He was such a wonderful endocrinologist. I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 11 years old. He’s the first doctor I saw at Children’s Medical Center Dallas. My little 3 year old nephew just also got diagnosed and I really wished he had a doctor in the hospital who was as amazing as Dr. Marks was. I didn’t know he had passed but I’ll never forget him.

I was just thinking about Dr. James Marks. He was my pediatric Endocrinologist from the time I was 4 months old till I was 17. A very kind and incredibly brilliant Man. He saved my life by taking very excellent care of me as he has with all his patients. He will be missed. I will never forget Dr. James Marks. My sincere condolences to his family. He will definitely be missed. I lost my father to cancer in July 2017.

In 1986, this caring and nice soul diagnosed my Type 1 diabetes at Children's Medical Center of Dallas. He was very attentive and made sure that I understood what I was going to have to endure for the rest of my life. A Doctor whom I wished could have treated my diabetes until one of us had to leave the Earth. He was a good Doctor, a educator in his own way to make sure you do what is neccessary to live. Dr. Marks you will be TRULY missed! I was just looking you up to see if you were still...

In 1986, this kind and gentle man diagnosed my Type 1 diabetes at Childrens' Medical Center in Dallas. He wrote my first prescription for insulin. Thirty two years and 60,000 insulin injections later... I am living well. Giving health back to dying children... what a way to have spent a life! God's peace Dr. Marks.

Dr James Marks was the doctor who diagnosed my two year old daughter with Type 1 diabetes, saving her life. My daughter is twenty-seven years old now, and we are both forever grateful to Dr Marks and the Endocrinology team at Children's.
Sincerely, Irene Mitchell and Marisa Bozarth

As a resident at Children's Medical Center and Parkland in Dallas, I looked forward to the wisdom and experience of Dr Marks. I regret not learning more about his life's journey. May he Rest In Peace knowing he did a good life's work.

My deepest condolences for your loss. Rest assured life is precious to our Creator. He promises to act in our behalf.
1 Corinthians 15:26

Dr.Marks was my first attending at Parkland Pediatric unit July 1974, when I started my internship and new life in US. He was a kind man. He taught me all the diabetes management and supported me thru out the time he was at CMC/UTSW. He was always available 24/7 He laughed a lot and loved to talk about WINE. I have fond memories of him.
RIP, Jim.
