David K. Wagner, M.D.

I just found out my beloved ID program director passed away. He was the kindest mentor one could have had. I enjoyed my fellowship years not only because I learned so much during those 2 years, but also because he taught us how it is to be a caring physician and human being. Laura and Jennifer, your Dad used to bring you to the VA hospital, you were so little then. I had been meaning to get in touch with him but never got the time to do so. I wish I could have told him I credit him for making me the physician I am today. Rest in peace our dear Dr Wagner.

Just heard of this sad sad news. Dave played a major role in my infectious disease education. He will be truly missed. My heart goes out to Mary and family.

I only knew David for a short time at the Catholic Home but we became friends very quickly, He had a great sense of humor and we had some wonderful conversations about life. I will truly miss him, He loved his family very much and i will be thinking of all of you,

I love my Dr he was my Dr at the VA for 15 years I will really miss him he was always caring about us veterans

To David's Family and Working Friends;
My deepest sympathy to you all. We have all lost a kind and caring person. This not only leaves a void in your lives but now another in our 1971 Le-Win Class. Rest in Peace David.

Dear Mary, I am so very sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers, and I wish I could have been there in person to express my condolences. I will be thinking of you!

I just learned of David's passing. It seems like there's now a void in our world which he used to inhabit. We learned to play drums together in grade school and did so all the way through high school. It was through that bond I got to witness David's thoughtfulness and actions. As I recall, David bought my first drum set when I decided to sell it. I felt it would have a good home. When David told me he'd become a doctor I was only surprised for a moment. He was a smart and compassionate person, so it seemed a good fit. I'm thankful for all the lives David was able to touch and make better. My condolences to his loved ones.

David was a kind, smart person. It was a pleasure to work with him over the years. My thoughts are with Jennifer, Laura and the rest of his family.

My heartfelt condolences to Dr. Wagners children and family. Mark A. Beilke, M.D.

My heartfelt condolences to the family. I had known Dr Wagner only for a few months when I joined the VA. He was a very humble and nice human being.

David's family, you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I had the chance to meet Dr.Wagner during my internal medicine residency. He was a very smart professional, and a very humble person. He will be sorely missed by patients and colleagues alike.

Thank you Dave, for showing us the way. So many of us who have had the privilege of knowing you, working with you, and learning from you - will miss you greatly. You always worked with enthusiasm and patience, teaching us about medicine and about life. We are keeping you, Mary, and your family in our daily positive thoughts and prayers.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
In thought and prayers
