I am a patient from long ago in Granbury, Texas when he was a general surgeon. I became his patient upon referral from another physician for surgery and was previously acquainted with him as a client of Texas Dog Academy. Dr. Light was very well thought of and well respected here. I came across his obituary quite accidentally and was completely shocked. Terrible loss for his family and his patients. Godspeed Dr. Light.

A brilliant, amazing soul. Truly a loss of joy to this world.
I met Dr. Light at a clinic where I was being treated by another physician. I had a particular spot on my forehead that had perplexed three physicians. A nurse suggested Dr. Light take a look. He immediately recognized the spot as lead! He laughed and said, "You have a lead head!" He said how in the world did you get that lead in your head? Until that time, it had slipped my memory that I had an accident with a pencil in second grade! I responded that I would make an appointment to come back for him to remove. He said, "Absolutely not, that's not good for you and it's coming out today!" He knew I was nervous about it and he kept me laughing the entire time he was "operating". He took it out within thirty minutes, stitched me up and I healed with no scar. That's the kind of person he was, he cared and he took action. He was a skilled surgeon and a great guy.
Prayers of comfort for you and yours.

I knew Kevin through the Pontiac Central Marching Band (a drum major as I recall) and again as a classmate at Des Moines University for medical school. He was a great guy and I am sure he had a successful medical practice. He will be missed!

From those of us that knew Kevin in his formative years; he was talented, whimsical, kind, and mostly, unforgettable! In the Pontiac Central Band, a great musician and competitor to be reckoned with. My father Thomas Course, Jr., his band director, fondly remembers Kevin as we all do ... like family. Kevin, you will be missed dearly my friend. Our deepest symphony to Kevin's wife Dena, his children, and his extended family at this sad time. His sparkle will remain forever.

I don't believe in death... Like someone said: "Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
And we will find a peace and strength to be happy for Kevin... but now it's so hard to say goodbye. Our love and prayers.

You and "the Doc" have been such a source of laughter, love, and enlightenment in my life. I cannot begin to comprehend the loss you, and the family, are feeling at this moment.
My love and prayers to all,

It didn't know him that well . . . but he LOVED Star Wars and he shared that with his grandsons! He told me that Star Wars was a big deal to him and he was very happy to share that love with them . . ! I know that the boys had a blast spending time with Kevin.

Dena, When we hear thunder and the skies light up in noise and laughter, we will know that Grady and Kevin have met and having a grand time being their charismatic selves lighting up Heaven! Not to worry, they will be holding our space beside them waiting for us to arrive when it is our time. I am sure of it! Until then, we carry on the best we can.....

Kevin's Light shines on through the countless Lives he touched and lit up.
Unlike our physical body the LOVE we carry and share is eternal and thus the only truth there is and that matters.
Kevin lived that awareness and in this awareness he continues to live within us.

For me, Kevin was the personification of everything a physician should be- brilliant, caring and completely committed to whatever it took to maximize a patient's good health and well being. I remember Kevin as a man who truly embraced life, was a loving husband and faithful friend- worthy of being called Superman in the OR or an F-16, in a lab coat or the uniform of his country. I will always cherish his friendship and believe that the world is a colder place without the warmth of his smile. With deepest sympathy, Wallace "Buz" Barlow, JD, Dallas, Texas

We are so sorry to hear of your loss Dena. Mikelanne and I knew Kevin for only a short time, but appreciated his warmth and genuine care for everyone that he came in contact with. It was just a few short weeks ago that we were able to share some laughter and stories with Kevin. He was a caring and gifted man. Heaven has welcomed another angle. Too soon for those of us left on this earth. Mikelanne and Rob

Sweet Dena, I am so sorry you have to bear this loss. I was widowed at 41 and know how difficult it is to move on. I am so glad that I got to be with you all and meet Kevin Thanksgiving 3 years ago at Jenny and Jorge's home. It makes my heart happy that you three girls are together and I hope to see you sometime for a girl's trip. My thoughts and prayers are with you and remember the Good Lord is carrying you now. Love you!!

Kevin and I grew up on Rutgers Street in Pontiac, Michigan ... about 8 houses apart, I have very fond memories of Kevin, from of our schoolboy neighborhood antics, to our high school graduation. My deepest sympathies and prayers to Kevin's family. He will always be remembered by the Rutgers' street kids."
