James Cundiff Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
After graduating medical school from the University of Louisville in 1974, Rick served the people of Shepherdsville and surrounding counties for nearly 40 years as a family practice physician with Family Medical Associates. Beloved by many, he was passionate about medicine. Dr. Cundiff, Doc to most, worked tirelessly to bring healthcare to underserved and rural communities.
He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Martha (Kerns), his children, Melanie (David) Smith and J. Daniel (Christina) Cundiff; a grandson, Vincent Cundiff; his sisters, Deloris (John) Keller, and Beverly (Dave) Will.
In keeping with Dr. Cundiff's wishes, cremation was chosen, and the family has entrusted Hardy-Close Funeral Home. A private Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held at a future date.

Not only was Dr Cundiff such a caring and compassionate dr, but also a special friend to us both. We cherish the time we got to spend with him and Marty.
He will be so missed by all that knew and loved him.
Sending much love and sympathy to Marty and his family.

It is with sadness for the information of my cousin's husband Dr. James Cundiff. He was my father's and mother's doctor for years, treating them both with love and kindness. It's my prayer that the Holy Spirit comfort my dear cousin Martha and her family
