Memories and Condolences
for Brian Yagoda
June 29, 2018
To the Yagoda Family,
Our heartfelt condolences to you all. What a terrible loss for all of us. Dr Yagoda was our pediatrician for 22 years. He treated us like family. Our boys were adopted from Russia, Dr Yagoda helped us with medical reports, videos, international research and specialists. We were more than regulars in his office. Our boys did not want to move on to an adult MD. Dr Yagoda knew their history, he was interested in their lives, and we were interested in his. He was a wonderful man. No words can describe this loss.

I recently had the privilege to meet Dr. Yogoda after having our daughter. I was very happy with the care he provided for her. Very knowledgeable man and I could easily tell he genuinely cared. My condolences to his family.

Dr. Yagoda was such a wonderful, caring person who was always looking for ways to make things better for patients and staff. He took the time to share his ideas and was a great listener. He will be sadly missed by all who know him. I had the opportunity to work with him over the years and learned a lot from him.

To the Yagoda Family,
We were so sorry to learn of Dr. Yagoda's death. We are still in shock from the news. He was a wonderful doctor. He was happy to start seeing our kids when their previous doctor left the clinic. Even after our daughter aged out of his practice he offered to continue seeing her until we found someone for the next stage of life. I remember at one appointment he pulled out his phone, so proud to show us pictures of him dancing at a family wedding. He was such personable doctor. Still can't believe he is gone. May he rest in peace and God help your family to find some comfort from the outpouring of love from everyone who misses him.
God bless all of you.

Dr Yagoda was our family pediatrician for 12 years. I am a registered nurse and Dr Yagoda and I would discuss many medical topics when we visited. What an intelligent, caring, patient man. His children should be very proud that he was their father! He leaves a great legacy. I loved looking at the pictures of his family and pets in the exam rooms. It showed that his personal life was like ours, filled with family and love. lts so sad he left us already. I guess God needed him more in heaven. He will be missed.

I was saddened to hear of Brian's accident and death. I worked with him when we were in high school. He was funny, hard working and fun to hang around with. It sounds like he went on to do amazing things and touched so many lives. He has left a lasting legacy. May God's peace and comfort carry you through these difficult days.

Dr. Yagoda took care of my boys from youths to teens. He always had a smile on his face and was very caring to them. He made them always feel comfortable and he took the time to answer any questions they or myself had. We would like to send our deepest sympathy and prayers to his wife and children and his family and friends.
June 21, 2018
We are so sorry for your loss. Dr. Yagoda was by far the best pediatrician a family could hope for. He always listened and had genuine care for my daughter. He would go above and beyond for our family. He will be so dearly missed by an enormous amount of patients and families. He always spoke so lovingly about his children and wife. He also talked about his love for bicycling and his motorcycle. Many prayers to the Dr. Brian Yagoda family through this very difficult time.

There are no words for such a tragic and senseless loss. Dr. Yagoda was my children's pediatrician for nearly 20 years. He was so kind. My children enjoyed seeing him - shots and all. He always had a joke and a smile. He cared so much that seeing him was like visiting family. We are sad beyond words- for his family and all those who were lucky enough to have him touch their lives.

Brian was a kind, friendly and interested colleague at Muskego Clinic. He was very collaborative with me as a family therapist and understood the value of teamwork. I have been retired for three years, but have not forgotten Brian. I respected and liked him and this is a tragic loss for everyone he touched. My sincere condolences to his wife and children. And to his co workers and his many patients who looked to him
for care and support. May everyone find ways to honor his memory and carry on as he would hope for.

My deepest condolences to Dr. Yagoda's family. Our 15 year old twins had their first visit with him at 4 months old. They were born premature and he helped us through some difficult health problems through the years. Thankfully, they are healthy and thriving. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for his knowledge, expertise, kindness, and compassion. When he talked about his children and family, it was apparent how proud he was of them, and how much he cherished them. He new one of my sons loved insects, and took the time to show him pictures online of some of the butterflies he had seen in South America during a visit. We will always remember his beautiful soul. Our prayers are with his wife, children, and family.
Our deepest Sympathies,
The marek family

What a brilliant kind caring pediatrician! His patients and families love and respect him. As the director of New Berlin Therapies I witnessed the confidence parents felt in him. With children who have special needs, no challenge was too great for him to unravel. He went out of his way to coordinate care with all the therapies. He visited our clinic to observe care firsthand and we were honored that a physician of his stature took so much time on behalf of his patients and also found our care to his discerning standards. Professionally, he supported my/ our mission of service and I, and all our staff, are deeply grateful that he placed his trust in us and now devastated that he is with us no longer. Blessings and love to all his family whose loss is most profound and to all the children and families he served.

Brian will be sorely missed. He was a great friend, father, husband, and doctor. He was one of the kindest people I knew always ready to help in any way he could. My deepest sympathies go out to Shirley and the rest of his family and friends. Brian will never be forgotten and well remember him by continuing to help others as Brian would have.

I am deviated about the loss of Dr. Yagoda. He is irreplaceable. He has been my childrens pediatrician for the last 16years. He was a compassionate, kind (so very kind), active listener that provided outstanding care to my children through the years. He always allowed me to play an active role in my childrens care. The world needs more people like him in it. He made it a better place. My family is absolutely heartbroken that he is gone. When reason fails I pray for peace. I hope his dear family finds peace.

Our family would like to express our prayers and condolences. Dr. Yagoda has been my children's pediatrician over the last 15 years. My children always looked forward to doctor visits because of Dr. Yagoda. He was caring and the most kind-hearted doctor I have ever come across. My family will miss him.

I knew Brian in High School. He always had a different take on things that was uniquely him. I fell out of touch with him in the following years, unfortunately. Condolences to all who were touched by his life. The world is much better for him having walked it. We will miss him.

Our family is shocked and disheartened. Dr. Yagoda was my childrens' pediatrician for the past 3 years, as we were new to the community. I have 5 children, 2 with special needs, so I spoke with him often. He was the best pediatrician my children ever had and actually took the time to get to know us. I often raved about how this is the first physician in my life who actually called me personally and told me I could email him anytime. He also looked out for us financially, always giving me tips on discounts or programs for medicine. He was kind, thoughtful, personable, patient, and just an amazing invested compassionate doctor. I am so sad. We will never find another Doctor like him again. Thank you for touching our lives, if only for 3 years. Thoughts are with his family. What a wonderful man he was.
