Not sure what to say?

Marks passing was a great loss to the medical field and all who knew him. I worked with him at the hospital for many years. I will never forget his passion as a doctor, with the medical staff and his patients. He is missed by many.

Dr. Tagett is a fellow fraternity brother and Depauw graduate. As I get older, it seems that I find myself turning to the obituary section of the alumni magazine first. This time I was shocked and saddened to hear of Mark's untimely and sudden passing. A nobel and educated man, he was giving of his professional time to his patients and colleagues and his personal time to his family and friends. I cannot think of any greater contribution or anything more the world could ask of such a fine man....

I am hurt to hear of my friend Mark's death. I only had 2 or 3 really good friends in college and Mark was one. I went my way and left college behind me, and had not spoken to Mark in over 30 years. That does not matter in the least; a once in a lifetime friend remains just that, for a lifetime. God bless his family, his siblings and father Dr. John, whom I also remember very well. Dr. Mark Zakula MD, San Antonio, Texas.

I am just now hearing of the unfortunate news. I had just met Dr. Tagett in January of last year when he preformed a cholecystectomy for me. He was by far the kindest doctor I have ever met. I felt like he really took the time to get to know me and listened instead of just rushing through everything like most others.

I am truly sorry for your family's loss and will be praying for you. I hope that you can find comfort in knowing how many peoples lives he touched and how special it...

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Dr. Tagett. He performed a few surgeries for me and always seemed caring and generous. My prayers go out to his family.

Shocked and so very sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with Mark at Bronson as a nurse for many years. He was very intelligent and highly respected as a person and physician. He had a canny sense of humor. I'll never forget the day I went parasailing and got my butt chewed out by him for doing so. His loss will be felt by many. May God be with you and your family. Remember the good times and he will be there with you always. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

May this candle burn forever and engrave in the hearts of the Family of Dr Mark Tagett. For I can NOT IMAGINE the pain you feel as he was one of the dearest men/Doctors I have ever encountered. I was very ill and Hospitalized for 8 days, Dr Tagett did two operations on me as well and helped get my health back! I told him "You are my favorite Doctor of anyone I have ever been too!" And I have seen MANY! He said to me, "you are my favorite patient" I know he was being kind, that was Him :-) ...

Dr Mark Tagett was one of the sweetest, kindest , warmest and caring Doctors I have personally ever come across in my entire 48 years of life! He genuinely cared about you as a person and this is why he did what he did! He was a Doctor first to help, second to heal and thirdly to change lives and make a difference! I know that Jesus is Dancing with Dr Mark because He Has an Awesome Angel In Heaven With Him Now! I am sad in my flesh because I am selfish, I would have Loved to Hug Dr...

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. Dr. Tagett performed surgery on me in 2008 and I was very impressed on what a kind, caring and funny person he was. I was absolutely floored when I received a letter from Bronson today informing me of his passing. He was truly a wonderful physician but more so a wonderful man. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,
Don McLennan
