Leland M. Fillerup M.D.

Hi, I live in Redding and just learned of Drs passing. He delivered 2 of my kids. The first went fine no problems things went perfect. The 2nd being an real life and death emergency C Section delivery. Both myself and my 4th son would not have not survived had we been in any other Dr.'s hands I am sure. He did not wait to get me under to cut to get my smothered son back out of the tunnel to breathe. His heartbeat was 4 beats a minute. The umbilical cord was NOT wrapped around his neck like...

Dr. Fillerup was my mom's and grandmom's doctor. He was the Brother who baptized me in the LDS church. I have always respected and even loved him and his family for the strength he gave me to stand up for myself and be strong even though life does like to kick you down. He helped me see what a true loving father really was and to this day I think of him in my prayers. Thank you for living your life and letting me see what a truly generous and loving family you created. Good examples are...

Dr Fillerup delivered my sister Kathy on September 28th 1967 she died 2 days later (exactly 46 years later) on September 30th, the day he died. My name is Melanie and the only reason I am alive right now is because Dr Fillerup knew Kathy wasn't going to live and did not tie my mothers tubes. Thank You Dr Fillerup! Melanie Denna-Lewis

We are saddened to hear this and I know what a good man he was. I am Linda's cousin.

There are no words to express the sorrow for the loss of a man so humble and loved by so many. Thank you to his family for sharing him with us... Marilyn Underhill & Tracie Scott

Ruelene, I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family. Much love to you.

Our love and prayers are with you Ruelene and all the family.

He must have been a wonderful man. I am very blessed that he came into my life even though I never new him. I was adopted by the Skillins and am very grateful that I not only grew up in such a wonderful family but that I was able to meet my biological family as well. THANK YOU to the man I never knew.

My heartfelt condolences to the family. We loved this man and many many children can thank him for bringing them into the world.
