Dr. Steven Bryce Inbody, 65, passed away in his sleep unexpectedly, on June 29, 2020 at his home in Houston, Texas. Steven was born in Manistique, Michigan, on March 15, 1955, the first son of Noah and Audrey Inbody.
In his youth he excelled in both Cross Country/Track & Field, and was an accomplished drummer and percussionist in concert bands at both Fremd High School, Palatine, Il. and Luther College, Deborah, IA. He also organized his own rock bands from middle school into adulthood. He held numerous leadership positions while at Luther College, and graduated Summa Cum Laude.
He entered Northwestern School of Medicine in Chicago, graduating in 1983. For his Neurology Residency, he chose Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, and eventually joined the staff at Methodist Hospital. During his tenure there, he was assigned as neurologist to several NASA astronauts. He also participated in a 'blind study' dealing with Alzheimer patients, as early research was underway at that time.
Dr. Inbody was one of the first to open and operate an Infusion Clinic for the state of Texas, in Houston, specializing in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, MS, Lupus, and other neurologic disorders. For the majority of his years as a neurologist he practiced from that Clinic, seeing patients from all over the United States.
One of his proudest experiences was receiving an invitation from Dr. Anthony Fauci to participate in a NIH Speakers' Bureau on "Indications for NIG Therapy in Neurologic Diseases". Dr. Inbody's writings have been published in several medical journals, including, "Office Practice in Neurology."
Dr. Inbody's patients loved him and appreciated his attentive listening. His manner often began with a bit of humor, followed quickly by his serious reassuring words.
Architecture was his favorite avocation, designing several of his private medical offices and his own home, astonishing contractors with his creativity and professional drawings. He enjoyed all types of music and liked improvising jazz at the piano. He traveled extensively and hiked yearly in Rocky Mountain National Park with his family. He appreciated fine food and wine and enjoyed entertaining staff and friends.
His father, Dr. Noah (Mac) Inbody preceded him in death. He is survived by his mother, Audrey Inbody, of Inverness, IL., brother, Eric, (Christine), Skokie, IL. brother, Daniel (Laura), Broomfield, CO., sister, Marcia Schwindt, (Peter), Charlotte, N.C., nephews Timothy Schwindt, Truman Inbody, niece, Arden Inbody, and his very special group of cousins.
