I was fortunate to have attended a lecture as a Physician Assistant student in 1981 by Dr. Marable. I just recently came across the notes he gave out at that lecture and was reminded how many times I referred to those lucid and logical fundamentals of a good Neurological work-up.
I retired last year and due to moving soon, I re-found them and looked him up on the internet. I am saddened to hear of his passing but rest assured somewhere he is giving a student the best of his knowledge and for that we can all take heart!

What a great man you were, such a tragedy that you passes suddenly. More of a tragedy that I had no idea until today. You were a brilliant physician and I was always amazed at how you would go to extreme depths to figure out patients illnesses after they had been to numerous others who were puzzled. You truly cared about your patients and your employees, there is no one who compares. Thank you for being such a great boss but more importantly such a great man. Rest in peace, Doc. Thank you

Charles, I really missed visiting with you at our class reunion. At least I got a few minutes. I'll remember you from elementary school. Also, your knowledge of cars and your Mother who used to watch me until my Mother got off work. May GOD bless and keep you. Charlie.

My dear friend and doctor, Charles, you have been sorely missed this last year. You never know how much you grow to depend on a good doctor and good friend. I certainly missed having a good long talk with you once I returned from my trip out of the country this Spring, but alas, you were visiting with your patients that had gone on to heaven with you. Rest in peace.

I just find out today the sad news. I could not believe my Neurologist of over 8 years left us to be with God. He refused to prescribe me generic seizure pills and he took the time to get to know his patients. He looked so good last time I saw him 6 months ago!! It was about time for me to schedule my next appointment when I received the letter in the mail. My condolences to his family and his patients. He is now doing the will of God in heaven. You will be missed here on earth.

Today I learned of Dr. Marable's sudden passing. I was a patient of Dr. Marable since 1991. He was always so caring and compassionate. I could always count on a smile and a hug. The world has lost a first class doctor; irreplaceable and unique. A first class gentleman. He cared about each and every patient. God definitely acquired a wonderful angel. My condolences to his wife and family, and family of office staff. The last time that I saw Dr. Marable, I told him to take care of himself that I would be lost without him. And he smiled and said that he wasn't going anywhere.

Dr Marable was a Gentleman. I saw him as his client a few years ago. The first question he asked was if I was a Nursing Supervisor at St Joseph Hospital. I said that I had been. He said I had helped him on a few occasions and wanted to know how he could now help me. A kind gesture that was most helpful. He will be missed. My prayers for his family.

Dr Marable was one of my customers in the late 90's. I always enjoyed stopping by his office to visit with him as he always had a way to make people laugh. I haven't talked to Dr.Marable since 2001 but I've certainly thought of him frequently. My prayers go to him, his family and office staff.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Marable's death. I truly enjoyed our appointments (that turned into visits) together.

Dennis & Margaret Penney

May 22, 2014

My heart is so saddened by Dr. Marable's passing. He was one of the most intelligent, compassionate, patient-driven doctors there ever was. I was referred to him by dear friend whose life he saved from the fallout of a TBI. During a visit, while discussing my physical struggle with heavy housework, he asked about help from my husband and I mentioned his recent work injury that he was not well. Of course he asked what happened, and when I told him my husband experienced a toxic gas inhalation, he started listing off a bunch of symptoms to which I said, yes, yes, yes….tears in my eyes, finally, after months, someone gets it, someone understands this! Dr. Marable told me my husband needs a neurologist and right then offered to be my husband's doctor. He took on my husband's care, knowing there would be a huge fight with workers comp; but he was doing everything possible to help my husband both as a doctor, advocate and champion.

My heartfelt prayers go out to his family, his work family: Veronica, Karina and Esperanza; his friends, his patients, and to the Fort Worth area who has lost a brilliant, analytical doctor who always put his patient's well being first.

He is irreplaceable here on earth, but our Lord called him home. He will be remembered by so many.

Lynn Clanton

May 22, 2014

Doc, You were the best!!! You were more than a doctor who treated my clients; I considered you a true friend. True friends that a person can count on are hard to find. Doc, you will be greatly missed. As you look down on the ole trial lawyers; give us an edge if you can. You were always fair, no matter who's expert you were. Thanks for all of your kindness!
