Robert Wey

Besides helping me survive heart surgery and a post operative stroke, Dr. Wey helped me financially by not making me pay right away. I don't know if I ever paid him fully but hopefully when his family sees some sports memorabilia of Von Miller they will know that since I wasn't sure if I paid for everything, I gave that memorabilia to Dr. Wey because of the care he gave me and the kindness he showed me. My landlord at my store was Von Miller's grandfather and he gave me those items. I didn't have much but Dr. Wey seemed pleased, or almost excited when I gave the items to him. I just wish I could have done more for my favorite joke exchanging friend and doctor. I will never forget him and I will always be thankful that he was part of my life.

Thanks for all your with help with my patients thur the years. Bobby had the best combination of wisdom And compassion . Thanks to bobby and Charlie Trimble a poor lady without money or insur got a much needed pacemaker. God grant you everlasting peace. May God bless your work on earth and may God bless your family

Thanks for everything while you were here. No one can take your place. God Bless

Bobby was a great classmate at St. Thomas HS. Unfortunately I have lost touch with him over the years, but would often think of him when going over near his neighborhood and I did that over several years everyday when I worked at Shell's BTC on Bellaire Blvd. Rest in Peace, Bobby.

I was coming to Methodist ICU @ ~03:45 am, bedraggled for an emergency G.I. Bleed. No make-up, hair a-mess, thrown on scrubbs...Rushing into the Hospital as fast as my legs could carry me.

Hoping not to run into anyone other than the ICU Team, the Endoscopy Team, and a patient in need I ran 'smackdab' into a calm, collected Dr. Robert Wey...EXITING the hospital.

"Getting a late start arn't you Dr. Snodgrass" was all Dr. Wey said as he and his P.A briskly walked past...
They rarely make Physicians like that any more...what an honor to have known, much less been in his presence.

Condolences to his Family. They should now and always take such great pride. I shall never forget...

DR,WEY WAS A GOOD DOCTOR,GOOD FRIEND
WE PROUD TO SAY WE LOVED HIM, GOD BLESS

I was sorry to hear of the death of your brother. Mrs. Fonte called me and told me of his death. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you at the sad time.
God Bless.

Dr. Wey is one of the most brilliant physicians I have had the pleasure of knowing and work with for the past 17 years. I am deeply saddened for his family, colleges, patients, and friends. I have always had the pleasure of sharing with his patients and families the love he has for his practice and have referred to him as "the Einstein of Cardiology in Lubbock Texas" to many. Dr Wey has touched many hearts and has saved those who were not expected to live on. As I have watched him never give up and search for the answers to heal, I always felt his love and compassion for his patients and his work daily. I thank Dr Wey for the knowledge he has shared with me and other nurses and I will carry this with me throughout my practice of nursing. Dr Wey, you left this world a inspiration, a hero and a legend in Lubbock and the surrounding areas. You fullfilled your mission my friend. Now you can rest. RIP...you will be missed dearly.

Dr Wey is the most brilliant physicianI have had the pleasure of knowing and working with. I am deeply saddened for his family, colleges, patients, and friends. I find it comforting to brag on him all the time to his patients at the hospital as I have referred to him as the " absolute Genius of cardiology" . His 4:30 rounds at the hospital each day is something he did with ease and will never be forgotten by the many sleepy eyed patients he woke. He touched hearts and saved many patients that were not expected to live on. He was determined to figure it out and fix what many could not fix. I thank him for the knowledge he has shared with me that will always be used in my scope of practice as a Registered nurse. Dr Wey you are a legend and hero in Lubbock as well as miles and miles of the surrounding areas. You definitely will be missed tremendously and will always have that special place in my heart. RIP my friend.....We shall meet agin

Dr. Wey was a great cardiologist, but more than that, he was a truly good man who genuinely cared. I will miss my yearly check-ups with him greatly. May he fly with the angels and rest in eternal peace.

My favorite doctor. I loved working w/Dr. Wey. He was a great doctor and saved many lives. May he rest in peace. Prayers for his family.

Rest in Peace my doctor and my friend! Thank you for saving my life, my dad's life, my niece's life, and several friends lives. You gave us many extra quality years that we would not have had without you. You were the best!

May Dr Wey rest in peace, I thank Dr Wey for his wonderful care he gave my mom when she was under his care, such a wonderful man, my mom will really miss him!!!

My prayers are with the Wey family. Lots of great memories growing up with Bobby, a great friend and a great Doctor.

This news makes my heart terribly sad.

Dr. Wey cared for both of my grandparents, Royce & Neysa Beights, for just about as long as I can remember. When I would spend the night at the hospital with either of them, his early morning rounds (early as in before 5:00 AM) would serve as an alarm clock. I will never forget him drawing a heart on the white board in Memaw's room in order to give me the best explanation of his diagnosis and what exactly her heart was experiencing.

Dr. Wey was a top notch cardiologist who provided the best care for his patients.

He will be missed.

Dr. Wey was the deciding factor in saving my husbands life. He was the most straight forward and honest doctor that we had come in contact with. I will always remember the man fondly for his help in keeping my husband alive. He was an awesome doctor.

I can't tell you how much your kind thoughts and fond memories have touched me. Thank you all.

I have been a patient of Dr Wey for over thirty years and will miss him the rest of my life that he gave to me.

James and I are so saddened to learn of Bob's passing. Our children attended school together. Kurt, RIP, and our daughter, Melissa, RIP, were always best friends, and both left us too soon. He is now with Kurt, and that gives us a smile, even in our tears. We remember the many times he would be with his beautiful family at Sunday Mass and his "beeper" would sound. He would be gone, but, his family remained, just as now, they will meet again. Sherry and James Grusendorf

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Dr Wey often said that he and I have known each other since "BK" (Before Kids). It was my privelege to work with him since the mid 70's. He was a sterling representative of leading edge healthcare with phenomenal business acumen. He would give credit where it was due, and recognized and encouraged talent. I was privileged to be able to learn at his side. I teased him that he was a "poop magnet" because he would not step away from the most difficult and challenging clinical situations. He gave 110% to his patients and he expected no less from his team. In my opinion, he put Lubbock on the map for cardiovascular excellence. You will be sorely missed Dr Robert (Bob) Wey! Your legacy shall live on!

I am deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Wey's passing. I had the privilege of working with him at Lubbock Heart Hospital. I not only knew him as a coworker but I knew him as a family member when he saved my mom's life. I remember one time when he was a patient and he would make rounds in his hospital gown and IV pole. I loved how dedicated he was to his patients. He was truly an amazing doctor and our medical community will not be the same without his smile and witty jokes. I lift his family up in prayers during their time of grief and heartache. Fly high Dr. Wey!!

Dr. Wey and I worked together for many years, CCU and the Cath Lab. I learned so much from him, we had some great conversations, it was a great ride! I'll miss his laughter & the twinkle in his eyes, but mostly I'll miss him. Thank you to Dr. Wey & to his family for sharing this wonderful man and Cardiologist with us. My prayers go out to his family. RIP Dr. Wey

So sad to hear of Dr. Wey passing. He saved my sweeties life more than once.

Dr Wey was our familys heart Dr.He was all about the Patient.He saved my Father in laws life 20 times (shocked him back 20 times).He woke me up in the Hospital at 4;00am many times making rounds!!I don't know if he ever has slept..We will miss this Great man!!

My deepest condolences to Dr, Wey's family and friends. He not only saved my life but also inspired me to try to be the best person I can be and to help anyone that is less fortunate than myself. I am very saddened by his passing but I am also very grateful that I had the honor to know him and be treated by him. I prefer to celebrate his life and remember the times we made each other laugh. What a great man he was. I will always love him for all he was and all he stood for. Thank you Dr. Wey.

So sorry for your loss I'm going to miss Dr. Wey so much. I'm going to miss working with him at Cardiologist of Lubbock and Grace Clinic. He will be truly missed by me. I was one of his receptionist and was glad to have worked with him. I will keep his family in my prayers. I'm going to miss this great doctor and friend.

dr. wey was our friend and also our lifesaver. we were saddened when he retired and devastated by his passing. you can never find a more compassionate and caring doctor than dr. wey. we will pray for his family. love you dr. wey. john and Barbara alexander, matador, texas.

I had the great honor of working with Dr. Wey & am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. He saved my sons life. He was a great Dr. & will be missed tremendously.

What a blessing it was to know such an amazing man. A man that saved my life on more than one occasion, would not leave me when my condition was not stable, and filled me with hope of a better tomorrow. A man that cared so much about all of his patients, was up well before anyone else making rounds, and always stayed true to the old school way of being loyal to his patients. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. May God bless you and keep you in his comforting arms.

I worked with Dr Wey in his clinic and on the unit. I loved going with him to the cath lab. He would review his films with me over his shoulder asking a million questions and he was so patient as he taught me and answered my questions.
I will always associate Dr Wey with his big smile, his compassion for others, his wonderful sense of humor and the beautiful music he would listen to in his office! How blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are are with his beloved wife, children, and other family members.

Words cannot express our feelings for Dr. Wey. He was a very fine Dr. and gentleman. He saved my husband and my life several times. My heart goes out to his family. Rest in peace Dr. Wey! We love you and will miss you.

Dr Wey took care of me for more than 30 years. He was very kind, compassionate and caring. He was always straightforward and honest with me - never an alarmist , always competent and always knew the next step to take. He cared about his patients and wanted the best for them.

To his family: I pray that you are comforted, granted peaceful rest and the strength you need for the coming days. I grieve with you for your great loss.

We had the honorable pleasure of knowing Dr. Wey as our cardiologist for many, many years. When he retired, we were not certain what we would do. He will be deeply missed by us and our hearts and thoughts go out to his family. May God bless you and God rest his soul. RIP Dr. Wey

I remember the first time I saw Dr Wey he was my Father's Dr he was in the hospital an they sent DR Wey in my Dad was probable 66 an had his first heart attack he told him send me a real Dr you are not old enough to be a heart DR I need a real Dr. Wey told him he was a real heart Dr an from then on they were patient an DR. He was very good to my Dad an Dad could be hard to get along with sometimes especially with Drs's. He will be missed.

When my Mother & I learned of Dr. Wey's illness we were so worried about him, but we knew with his love of life, his patients & his work, he'd be back and when we were told he wouldn't be coming back our hearts were crushed, for him & for us as well! He'd been my Daddy, Conal Norried's, Doctor for over 30yrs, then my Mother's & mine! We trusted him 100%! When he walked into the room he always had a big smile & a warm hug! We were just soo heart broken that this had to happen to him and we will miss him more than words can say. May he rest in peace & may his family find comfort in knowing just how much he was truly loved & respected by so many. Thoughts & Prayers are with his family & all those that loved this sweet gentle giant, bigger than life man! God Bless you Dr. Wey, We love you & will miss you forever.!

Loved Dr. Wey. He saved my life in 2006!!! Was a great Dr. My prayers are with the family. Pat Smith.

Petra and I had the privilege of working beside Dr.Wey in the labs at Covenant and Lubbock Heart for many years. He was always willing to teach and explain things to better educate us. It always brought a smile on his face and a sparkle in his eye to be teaching. He will always have a special place in our hearts because of his friendship and the care he gave both of us. Rest in Peace Robert Wey and may God shine his presence upon you and your family. Kenny and Petra Hickey

Dr. Wey was a fine physician and one who knew the art of medicine. The Germans have a fine expression when a person dies: Es tut mir leid.
I am sorry. Please give Mrs. Wey and the family regards from a patient who is grateful for his life and caring. James A. Glasscock

We loved this wonderful Dr. What a joy to have him for our caregiver. Pray God has a special place for him in his heavens! He has suffered enough. We grieve for and with the Family!

My work in CCU at Covenant Hospital with Dr. Wey was so enjoyable and it was a pleasure caring for his patients He was a man who deeply cared for his patients and brightened up the unit when he appeared each day.
It's unbelievable his life was so short lived. We've lost one of the best. God bless the family. We share your grief.
Kaye Reeves R.N.

As a nursing student at Methodist Hospital, the first time I saw Dr Wey, he had run up the eight floors it took to get to the cardiac unit. I had no idea he was a Dr, thought he was a football player. He was kind and enjoyed answering my many questions. My prayers are with his family

I remember lots of fond memories growing up with my cousin Bobby.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is huge. He was a towering man, both physically, professionally, and personally. He will be greatly missed.

Roberta Colton

Dr Wey impacted many lives, including several of my family members. I have always held him in high regard. He will be missed. May God bless and comfort you.

Dr. Wey was a fine physician and friend. My heart goes out to his family and friends, and I pray that the Lord gives them comfort and peace with the many wonderful memories they have of him.

Dr Wey was an extraordinary doctor. Our community has suffered a great loss. It was an honor to have assisted him in the care of his patients for the 23 years I knew him. His presence was definitely known when making rounds. What a character he was. I will miss him immensely. Thank you for all the knowledge you shared. Definitely a legacy. Prayers and condolences to family. May he forever rest in peace.

We will missed the whistle on the hall when he arrive for his early morning rounds.....RIP Dr.Wey.

Dr.Wey was an esteemed associate, a dear friend, and superb physician. His unexcelled competence was honed by his unending pursuit of knowledge. Bob's smile, his hearty laugh and his "larger than life" presence will be sorely missed. A great oak has fallen.

I was honored to have worked with Dr.Wey in various capacities since 1976. He was always bigger than life to me. Incredibly impactful to the medical community and population of the area. He passionately cared for his patients and tirelessly advocated for improvements in care. I came to know him as a supportive friend with a quick smile and encouraging manner. Rest in peace precious man, you will be remembered....

Dr. Wey always has been, and always will be, the consummate professional, dedicated to the health and well-being of his patients. Although many would describe him as "challenging" or "difficult" to work with, these are descriptors spoken out of respect as they reflect the dedication and passion that Dr. Wey exhibited as a doctor, and as a man. He will be missed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a great colleague and will be greatly missed by the community.

Dr Bryan Smitherman

Loved Dr Wey very much.

Wonderful man and Doctor. He saved my Daddy and for that I thank him. RIP Dr Wey.

I've worked with Dr.Wey for since 1998. He was a great man and Doctor. He loved what he did. He has been missed since he has been sick and bless his heart he put up a great fight and never lost hope that he would return to the job he loved so much. He loved his wife so much and it was cute to watch them together. RIP Dr.Wey. and bless the hearts of his family and friends in their time of grief.

He was a wonderful person full of energy always working for the
better good. He was an institution in the medical field as a leader always keeping people's health most important. He was very special to me as a friend and a person I had the utmost admiration and respect. Bob Wey will be missed by us all. Good bless him.

I had the honor of working with Dr. Wey for over 30 years and he was the most caring person I've known. He cared very deeply for his patients and loved his family very much. He always knew how to make me laugh or cheer me up when things got rough. May GOD comfort you all in the days ahead. Dr. Wey touched the lives and hearts of many and will surely be missed by all.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Wey for many years, and he will always hold a special place in my heart.

Peace, Prayers, and Blessings to all of you.
