Dr. Bryan Jeremy Arling

Passed away peacefully on March 12, 2025 at home in Chevy Chase, MD, at 80 years old. He was born December 10, 1944, in St. Paul, Minnesota. Bryan studied at the University of Minnesota (1965) and Harvard Medical School (1969). He did an internship and residency at Stanford University, followed by two years with the U.S. Public Health Service. Bryan was committed to mentoring the next generation of physicians, serving as Chief Resident in Internal Medicine at the George Washington University Medical Center in 1973 and as a clinical professor of medicine at GW and Georgetown University throughout his career. Bryan began private practice in 1977, where his deep knowledge and compassion were recognized by his peers and patients, earning him the honor as a Top Doctor in the DC area for over 30 years. He served on the board of the Maret School in Washington, DC.

Bryan's love for his family was the cornerstone of his life, and he instilled in them the values of kindness, generosity, and scholarship. Bryan found joy in attending his children's sporting events, golfing, scuba diving, and travelling with his family. He is survived by his three children Elissa (George) Dolina, Jeremy (Michelle) Arling, and Timothy (Laura) Arling, eight grandchildren, and his sister Heather Arling Greenagel Ross. He was predeceased by his parents, Leonard and Marion Arling, his sister Pamela Arling Simmons, and his grandson Remy James Arling.

Those who knew Bryan will remember him as a loving, generous, and intelligent man. His presence was a gift to all who had the privilege of crossing his path, and his memory will continue to inspire and guide those he left behind.
