Jeffrey Rose Obituary

ROSE
Jeffrey David Rose, 49, passed away on Sunday, January 1, 2012 in San Antonio, Texas. Jeff was born on Father's Day, June 17, 1962. He was an amazing husband, dad, brother, son, friend, and veterinarian. He was a graduate of Texas Tech University and Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, and owned City Veterinary Hospital; taking care of beloved pets- and the people who owned them. Jeff's favorite thing to do was to spend time with his girls. He loved being with friends and family, playing and watching sports, hunting, fishing, and being outdoors. He was preceded in death by his son, Ryan Luther Rose. Jeff is survived by his wife, Kimberly Rose; daughters, Kirstin Michelle, and Erin Brooke Rose; parents, LTC (Ret.) James and Beverly Rose; brothers, COL (Ret.) Greg Rose and wife, Elizabeth, COL (Ret.) Scott Rose and wife, Lynne; father and mother-in-law, John and Barbara Frankhouser; brothers-in-law, John, Sean, Eric and Jason Frankhouser; and pets, Jake, Daisy, Cooper, Bonnie and Elvira. He exemplified courage and determination in his fight against cancer and his life reminds us to greet each day with a cup of good coffee, a smile, and a hum and a whistle. We love you and miss you, Jeffrey David- and we will forget you not.

When I started College, Jeff Rose was my employer for some time but soon enough became a friend as well who I have fond memories and great affection for. I became a nurse and remember his encouragement. I will miss him very much.

Dr. Rose thank you for the wonderful care you gave our 4-legged kids. Every time we pulled into the clinic parking lot they would go nuts with happiness at being able to visit you again and then drag us up the stairs! All five of us will miss you - Leo, Sonora, Max, Molly and Buddy.

I just want to say how much I will miss "Doc" and how much he made a difference to me and my furry kids. He was a truly gifted vet; one with compassion and love who was a talented surgeon and diagnostician. He was there during my kid's worst times and best for seventeen years. He spoke often about his family and it was clear to me that they were the most important thing in his life. My sincere condolences to the Rose family. There is now a great vet in heaven and I am so grateful for the time that we shared with him here on earth.

Dr.Rose was such a great guy, he was so funny! Doc always came into work singing or humming and his good moods were contagious.I will miss his sense of humor and the happy dance he would do when breakfast tacos would arrive.Doc-You were one of a kind and you will truly be missed.

Condolences to the Rose family for the loss of Dr. Rose. Dr. Rose had a way of not only putting his patients at ease, but the owners as well. His "bedside manner" and compassion will be missed. Several years ago my elderly mother was devastated when her beloved "Duke" was stolen from her front lawn. We passed out flyers and offered a reward for his safe return. Weeks passed without a word about Duke. Finally we received a call from Dr. Rose who informed us someone had called his office describing a dog found in his neighborhood. Based on the description given over the phone Dr. Rose immediatley knew it was Duke. He helped arrange the safe return of Duke to my mother. Our family will forever be grateful to Dr. Rose. May he rest in peace.

Condolences to the entire Rose family and Dr. Rose's staff at City Vet. I met him when Dr. Hickey passed away and Dr. Rose became the downtown veterinarian. There has to be something said for a person who understood 'need' over money. Thank you, Dr. Rose for taking a chance on the inner city. You became their rock. Dr. Rose will be greatly missed by so very many. May he rest in peace.
