Dr. Frank Buddy McCutcheon Jr.

Years later, and I still hear your name mentioned. You were kind and talented. I hear it from your patients, friends and those who loved your music. None of us could have imagined how this could have happened, but You are missed Buddy.

Words cannot express the grief my husband and I still feel over the loss of this great friend and person. Brenda, I know this is so hard for you. Please know that I am still living where I always did and am ready to listen when you need to talk to someone. If you need to just get away from it all, you are welcome to come see us at any time. I always remember the great time we had making items for the women's bazaar, antiquing for items to use with reenacting, and cooking on that fire. The best memories are those sitting around the fire at night singing out of Lou's hand written song books and listening to Buddy play the fiddle or the banjo. The bag pipes would bring tears to your eyes. You both were so friendly and personable it was just not like being in the presence of a doctor or such a talented nurse. We were just friends. My boys loved you both and still think fondly of you. they too were devastated to hear of your loss. If you come to Memphis to see Amy, give me a call and we will meet up again. Know that you are daily in my thoughts and prayers.

Your friend,
Debbie Hill

At 7 1/2 months pregnant I was only able to work with Dr. McCutcheon and his wonderful staff for a very brief period of time in 2004. He and his staff were absolutely like a family and very easy to work with and for. My heart goes out to Brenda, his related family, and his work family. This is truly a senseless loss. I pray for peace of mind and hearts for everyone involved.

You were a wonderful man. I pray for Brenda and her your family.

Brenda, I am shocked and saddened with this news. I have many happy memories of the summer parties and Christmas parties at your house in Arkansas. The two of you are very special. Take care of yourself.

I was so shocked and saddened to learn of the untimely and tragic loss of a skilled surgeon and wonderful colleague. Deepest condolences to the family.

A beautiful man and an extraordinary surgeon! So sorry for his family's loss and the loss to the community.

Dear Brenda, Amy, Julie and family,
I am so sorry for your loss! I am praying continually for the Lord to comfort you!! I have such fond memories of our trip to Arkansas years ago!

So sorry to hear of his death. He did surgery on my nose for cancer and did a great job. He and his wife were a great team. You are in my prayers at this hard time. Jean Kline

Had wonderful times working with Buddy in Little Rock.He will always be in my heart. We shared history of the South.

So sad Brenda. I can't imagine how you feel. I will go to the funeral in Fayetteville if I get details. You are in my prayers love and miss you. Stay strong

Buddy Buddy Buddy. What a shock. It was a sad and solemn day yesterday after reading the news. Many good memories of playing army and talking science stuff on Pine Valley and Englewood as 8 year old fighting Einsteins. And re-uniting in Fayetteville years later. Yesterday I pulled out our cub scout pack photo...still hilarious to this day. My condolences to your wife and family. Looking forward to seeing you again some day. Walt B.

My Dear Brenda,

breaking for you.
You and Buddy were always so kind and special
to me and my son. The times we shared with you
will remain some of my fondest.
I pray God's blessing and comfort for you and Buddy's family.
With love, Liz Clouse

Brenda, I found it difficult to believe when told of Buddy's death. Brett and I are so very sorry for your loss. Wish we were closer so I could be of help to you. Hugs from afar. Ramona (Bates) and Brett (Herndon).

Brenda, You will alway's be my sister! I love you, and am so sorry for your loss. Have so many great memories of you and Buddy. You and Buddy were such a great Uncle and Aunt to my children. Prayer's for You! Love you, Jean!

Brenda,
Just heard about your loss today. Barbara and I have you in our thoughts. We missed his bagpipe serenades after you moved to N Carolina.

Barbara and Robert Vogel

So sorry to hear Dr. McCutcheon has passed in such a tragic senseless manor. He was so sweet and kind. He and his staff, his wife Brenda, all took such heartfelt care for me as a patient. Your services were life changing- You will not be forgotten. May peace surround those suffering and may justice be served.

Brenda,
I have been thinking of the millions of cups of coffee we shared years ago. Of our great Christmas parties and the summer party with Buddy playing the bagpipes! My heart is breaking for you and for Buddy's family. I am just so sorry.
Love you,
Melinda

I was devastated and deeply saddened to hear of this tragedy. I knew him as my daughter's ( Natalie) surgeon. He performed a miracle, just last July, in repairing damage from skin cancer on her nose. He was kind, compassionate, and a skilled surgeon. He helped us through a very trying time. My condolences to his family and kind staff. May he rest in peace.

Brenda,
You are in my prayers.

Brenda,
I am so sorry and saddened to hear about Buddy. We have a lot of good memories from Medical School and residency. I'll always remember the kindness he showed me after my brother died.
He was a good man and will be missed by all of his friends.
Susan and I will be praying for you.
God Bless

I don't have the words. Brenda thank you for the care you both gave my daddy. We are praying for you. Our lives are richer for having met you and Dr. Mccutcheon

Brenda, I am so sorry. I met the two of you as a patient and then followed Frank's Celtic music at various venues in Asheville. I remember both of you as being kind and caring. He had a way of putting his patients at ease. I am truly sorry for the pain you feel now and hope you find comfort in many wonderful memories of your life together.

I have happy memories of Buddy since high school. We didn't spend much time together, but he was nice to me and interesting to talk with. I had hoped to hear him play music again. So sorry for the loss of him.

May God bless an keep you all in your time of loss , our thoughts go out to you. He was always easy going an kind to us as was you Brenda . You both gave the best care , love to us.

My heart is breaking for Brenda , his family and Sebrina and Kathy. He was the best doctor ever. I have never felt such love and care as when I was in his office. So professional and compassionate not to mention talented. Such a big loss to our community and the world. May Gods grace help you through the terrible time. He will truly be missed
