Mark W Joy

I was led to Mark Joy as a primary care provider. We often spoke at my appointments of everything except my health. Friend to friend.

I was privileged to have Mark as my doctor for many years. He was a kind man and wonderful doctor. I was hopeful that he was on the road to recovery when I received the letter saying he was retiring. It is heartbreaking to hear that he has passed. I will miss him very much. My condolences to his family. :(

A very special weekend with my brother and family.

Mark was a great doctor. I had a hard time finding a doctor that I trusted until I met him. He was wonderful and very caring. I will miss him very much

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

The first time I met, Dr Joy was in his office as a new patient. When he came in it was high I´m Mark. How are you sat down. He was such a caring person. Wanted to know all about you. Talked about is a wonderful wife. I´m gonna miss him terribly to his family I wish so much. I know how much sadness you´re going through. Just know that we all cared for him.

Mark was a friend and colleague. He has been my collaborating physician and I am forever grateful for his presence in my life. He was a kind soul, a wonderful man and amazing physician. I am thankful for the time we spent together. My deepest condolences to Jennifer and family.

Mark was my brother. I came here to thank all of his friends, patients and colleagues who posted such wonderful memories and kind words. They will sustain me and my three sisters who are having such a difficult time processing our profound loss. We are devastated. I love you, Mark, rest in peace until we meet again.

I first met Dr. Joy as our hospitalist and was impressed by his professional demeanor with patients. Dr. Joy became my personal physician when he assured me acceptcance with a looming medicare birthday. So, let's call that a good 10+ years ago!
He always took an extra minute to listen, ask questions. There was always a follow up visit or phone call. We enjoyed sharing travel and vacation stories and where the next adventure was planned.
A wonderful kind man and compassionate physician.
My sincere condolences.

My friend and zDotor took great care of me . Now the lord will take care of him . I will miss him .

Mark was clearly one of a kind , he was super smart , kind , never complained and had a great sense of humor , down to earth and never had an air about himself . So sorry to hear of his untimely death but what is amazing is even while he was on his deathbed he texted his friends that he was the luckiest man on earth . He was being hopeful that he would beat the illness but god had different plans . Our condolences to Jennifer and his extended family .

Mark was our Dr for the past 12 years. He was very caring, with a gentle demeanor. We are sad to learn of his sudden passing.

Oh, Mark, I was so so sad to hear that we lost one of our own. A precious soul lost too soon. The class of 1977 will never forget you. May you fly high. Until we meet again my friend.

Thank u for being a caring doctor. Will miss your listening patience and soft manner. Kelly o....

We were so sad to hear of Dr. Joy's passing. He was such a compassionate Doctor. He made you feel special when he came in the room. He didn't make you feel that he would have to hurry to see the next patient . Dr. Joy really listened to us and was very understanding to our concerns and always was there to answer them or send a referral to see another doctor that could help. There was a time when I went out of town. I was anxiously waiting for news of a report from another doctor. When the report came, Dr. Joy called me right away. I was so thankful for his phone call.
I will always remember him as our doctor. He was truly one of a kind.
I hope and pray that his wife and family members will find comfort, peace, and strength , knowing how special he was for us and much loved by so many.
Sincerely,
Liz and Joe Fear

Mark will be greatly missed. He was always willing to share anecdotes of travel and connected well to both colleagues and patients. My deepest sympathies to his family, friends and staff.

My Dr he was the most caring Dr. he listened to every word you said, he took the time to visit, we share a lot of laughs. My last visit I told him I retired and could not wait to start my new adventure at 62. He said good for you enjoy. I will never meet another caring Dr like him, his personality was awesome I felt very comfortable with him. I will miss your smile you laugh and talks about the good old days. RIP Dr. Mark Joy you left this world to early . My condolences to the family Barbara A Floyd

Mark was a supportive partner and friend. He was thoughtful and caring. Although he had a quiet demeanor, he had a wonderful sense of humor. He will be missed.

Mark was my doctor. I learned of Mark when my wife saw him for an immigration exam. She came home telling me how impressed she was. So I decided to see for myself, and I came away equally impressed. Every visit to see him was a special experience. He was an excellent doctor who I trusted unequivocally. And he was a gem of a person. There are things I do in my daily routine for my health that I will do for the rest of my life, thanks to Mark. We will never forget him, and our hearts and prayers go out to his loved ones.

I worked with Dr Joy at Regional and he was my Doctor since 2015. I am deeply saddened by his passing. Condolences to his family and staff.

He will be so missed. He was such a kind and caring Man. Our condolences to his Wife, family friends and staff. What a loss.

I moved to Yakima about 12 years ago and Mark was my doctor from the beginning. He took time to get to know me and I always felt like I was in good hands. I'm devastated by this news. Thoughts and condolences to his friends and family.

I'm so sorry to hear the passing of Mark. Mark and Jennifer along with Brent and Lisa were our dear friends in Port Huron, MI for many years. The 6 of us enjoyed good wine, good food, lots of laughs, bonfires but more importantly...a great friendship. Sending love and prayers to Jennifer at this sad time.

My son Jim enjoyed golfing with Mark, Brent and my now deceased husband John. They would go at least yearly with about 16 guys. These photos were shared with Jim today by Brent. May Mark rest in peace. I hope Mark and John are golfing together! Love, Carol Watson and family

I just heard the news about Dr. Joy´s passing. We lost a really good Doctor and a really nice and caring human being. He was my doctor for several years and he was always so caring and well read and fun to talk with. Rest in Peace, Dr. Joy. And sincere condolences to your wife and family and friends. You will be missed!

Dr. Joy became our doctor when we moved here in 2015. We so appreciated his care and enjoyed our appointments with him. This is such sad news, the world has lost a good man. Our condolences and prayers with his family and loved ones. Jay and Cindy Fontaine

My husband and I send our condolences to Mark´s family and staff. He was such a caring individual and wonderful doctor. He will be deeply missed. We will keep you in our prayers. Sincerely, John & Vicki Balmer

Dr. Joy was my doctor for over 10 years, and during this time he was more than my doctor, he became my friend. His professionalism was great and he had a warm heart for his patients. He will be truly missed.

Mark was a kind and thoughtful child. I was one of his cousin's. We had a time where we all lived together. And for all the crazy fun and loud times you could always find him reading and learning. I will carry a fond memory of him in out tree in the front yard kicked back on a limb reading. May you rest in peace. Love Vanessa.

I am so sadden by Dr. Joy's passing. He was a very good doctor and cared deeply about his patient's. He will be truly missed from his patient's and co-workers. I will never find a kinder doctor and he will always be close to my heart. God bless, Sincerely Kit Davis
