I just found this, and I am so sad to hear of Dr. Heath's passing. This man literally saved my life. I know this is a common saying, but he really did. After surviving 3 suicide attempts and a raging addiction, he listened - really listened - to me. Thus began my road to recovery and well-being. It has been 13 years and I sing his praises to anyone who will listen. To his family, I thank you.

I am fortunate to have known Chuck - both as a colleague and a friend. He was a genuinely good man, loving husband, and compassionate physician. He had a keen mind, infectious laugh, and huge heart. Chuck touched and improved so many lives in his all too brief time on this earth. He will be deeply missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Mark, and with your families. I was blessed to have had the privilege of working with Dr. Heath at Three Rivers and in outpatient private practice upon completing my residency. He was a caretaker to his core, and I will never forget how he nurtured and supported me in my nascent years as a psychiatrist. VERY saddened to hear of his passing. Again, my deepest condolences and sympathy to you and yours.

My sincere condolences to Mark and the entire Heath family. Chuck was a kind and generous man. He was an accomplished, bright colleague and friend who loved to share, go to the ocean and to dance. While it is difficult to celebrate the loss of this gifted man, he would no doubt want us to indeed celebrate his life and all the goodness he so freely shared. My heart weeps to know his contagious kindness and knowledge has departed our lives. My prayers are with Mark and his family.
