Jay Mark Palmer

Each time I go to Central Park I think of him. To the Palmer kids, your Dad was such an incredible human. I´m sure you know this but now you know others think the same. I´m so sorry we didn´t call get to spend more time with him. May you find comfort and healing as you walk the road of grief.

I just today of his passing. Although we never met in person we shared many patients who benefited from his surgical skills. I am deeply saddened by his passing and want to convey my condolences to his family. His time here made a difference...

My heart is so hurt by this news. Dr Palmer was such an incredible man and physician. My heart goes out to his family. Thank you for sharing your son, dad, grandfather with all his patients. Our lives were better for having met him. He did surgery on my 4 year old and she LOVED him so much. Rest In Peace Doc. You will be so missed!

I just found about the loss of Dr. Palmer, I'm so sorry for the loss of a wonderful, caring man. He has treated all my children for the last 21 years. He will be greatly missed as my daughter was just trying to get an appointment scheduled with him. I'm at a loss as to who will see her now. She wouldn't let ANYONE touch her, not even Dr. Palmer. But after her first encounter with him as a fiesty 2 yr old, he was her best friend so to speak! The last time she saw him she was sharing "funny pick up lines" with him asking what he thought about them------and they just laughed & laughed, that's the kind of Dr he was. Someone will have to fill some BIG SHOES, you just don't find those kind anymore!!(she's now 15) Rest in Peace Dr. Palmer You will be Greatly missed by many!

My son was a patient for 6 years. He was the only doctor who could touch Ethan's ears. When my daughter was having issue Dr. Palmer figured out what was wrong and took care of her as well. He was my kids favorite doctor and he took better care of them than their pediatrician. My family will miss Dr. Palmer

I just heard about Dr. Palmer's passing, today, when my daughter called to make an appointment for her son. I am so sorry for your loss and the loss in the community. He was so incredible with my grandson, only 9 months to 3 years old when he was a patient. Dr. Palmer will be missed by all.

I worked with Dr. Palmer for many years and was always impressed with his ability to combine surgical skill with quick wit and speed! Also - So grateful he fixed my husband's nose- and we sleep much better because of your son's precision and skill! God Bless you all and God bless Mark!!! ❤

I am sorry for your family's loss. Mark was my roommate for three years at Rice. I am listening to Bohemian Rhapsody on Pandora in my office right now, and I recall that we and our friends used to rock out to that song in the car long before Wayne and Garth copied us in their movie. I am glad he touched so many lives so positively.

I’m going to miss you!

My heart is broken as one of his long time patients parents. Dr Palmer has taken care of my husband and four children for 18 years! We are truly going to miss him and the love he always gave to my family! My son had some ear trouble and was having surgery and was a little nervous. Dr Palmer brought him some stickers to help cheer him up. When my son looked at the sticker it was Princess stickers. We both laughed so hard. When I shared the news of his passing with my children tonight the first thing my son said was “ you mean i will never get anymore princess stickers” . When I tell you we loved this man whole heartedly this is an understatement! Our thoughts, love, and prayers go out to his entire family and friends!

One of the best Surgeons I had the pleasure of working with. I enjoyed my OR days working by his side, many laughs and great memories! I will miss you Dr. Palmer. My deepest condolences and prayers to his family and friends during this difficult time.

To Don Palmer, Laurie, Adriel, Nathan, Patrick and all of Mark’s family: No words ease your loss, but I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of each of you. Janet

Dr. Palmer was a great doctor who will be missed. I truly enjoyed working with him. Fly high.

Don, I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your son, Dr. Palmer. I never met Jay during our days at Palmer, Jekel & Associates, but I have thought about you and your family quite often. May God grant you peace & love during this difficult time. Lynn (Cremeen) Smith

Sleep in heavenly peace dear classmate.

A client who sometimes listened, a Doctor beyond compare for myself and family, but most of all a friend. I will miss you, Mark

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