Arthur Jenkins Obituary

Interesting -- just yesterday Clark Trask & I were discussing how Art improved the health of our Beaufort community. He was a marvelous physician and individual. He has not been forgotten. John Fontana

Prayers and peace be with all of you. Doc was certainly one of a kind.

God Bless Dr. Jenkins and all the lives that he touched.
Prayers will all of you in this time of loss.

May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories as you joyful times you had together. May the God of comfort strengthen and fortify you to help you endure.- Psalms 29:11.

Dr. Jenkins was our childhood physician. We always loved and adored him. He was very quiet and took great care of our health needs. Our parents, Alex Buster and Victoria Simmons also loved Dr. Jenkins. He was a great earthly physician, who is now resting with his Master Physician! Keeping the Jenkins family in our thoughts and prayers. May God's continued blessings shine upon each of you.

Art Jenkins welcomed me to Beaufort in 1975 in his quiet and genuine way. Art always tried to improve medical care in Beaufort but never expected or desired recognition. I remember one night taking the barge over to Spring Island with Art to speak with Mrs. Lucille Walker. Art had paved the way for a donation from the Weezie Foundation of an ultrasound machine for the obstetrical service at BMH. This would be the first ultrasound machine in the hospital. We procured the ultrasound and Art's satisfaction came from knowing that it would improve obstetrical care. This was Art. He was a leader but stayed in the background. Art was instrumental in the advancement of medical care in Beaufort. I am privileged to have been able to know and practiced with Art Jenkins

It was a gift and pleasure to be able to be part of Dr. J's care team Our Thoughts & Prayers are with you all !

Offering deepest condolences to the family for your loss. May you draw close to God during this difficult time and He will draw close to you. James 4: 8

Sandy Guile Stokes

Working Labor and Delivery (Station 3) at BMH in 1967 is where I met Dr. Jenkins. He was a very kind man, his patients adored him and the staff loved working with with him. No more "Dr Jenkins please call Station 3", no more leaving an office full of patients to go deliver a baby at BMH, You are now on your final house call. Two prescriptions remain in your black bag. Rx to your family: PLS (prayers, love and support) QS (PRN)
And to you dear Dr Jenkins, RIP-stat

Beaufort has lost one of the best physicians it ever had! Long gone are the times of house calls and great physician/patient relationships, but Dr. Jenkins did all of that with a loving spirit and a kind heart. I wish I could have known him in his younger days; I bet he had some great stories to tell. Wade, my thoughts will be sent to you and your family during this difficult transition.

When I first came to Beaufort I met this wonderful man at Bayview Nursing Center, where he was the medical director at the time. Towards the end of his time in Beaufort I had the pleasure to be one of the therapists working with him. He kept me on my toes and I enjoyed every session I had with him. Such a great man!!!

Love him and respected him as a doctor.

Dr. Jenkins became our family doctor when he moved to Beaufort. My 2 children were 2 of the 500 that he delivered. He was my husband's doctor until he retired. He went hunting and fishing with my father. He made house calls for my grand parents when they were sick. He was always loved and will be missed. God bless his family at this time. May he rest in peace.

I so missed this very sweet, wonderful doctor who took care of Jim, my kids and me up to few years before he retired. I use to practiced at getting this serious man to smile and give me one of his eye twinkles. He loved his patience and his practice. I was blessed to have him as a doctor. He made strong suggestions in the healthy weight lost department. I will never forget the fig tree he dug up in payment for turtoring his son when he was out of school because of illness. That tree still puts out yummy figs. RIP DR, JENKINS,

Dr. Jenkins was my family doctor for many years, he delivered my first child and even made house calls back then. He was a very kind and caring man. He saw me through a lot of problems, both personal and medical, always giving good advice.

My condolences to the family and friends. May God be with you at this difficult time.

Such a caring man who was our family's doctor and my parents doctor. What wisdom he shared to a daughter and parent of four children. His love for missions was always present in his life. God is rejoicing as he is in heaven today!

A wonderful, caring Physician! It was a pleasure knowing him as a former LCMG employee. My condolences to his family, may you all have the peace of comfort.

Dr. Jenkins was our family doctor for many years. We saw him many times, especially when our children were young. John visited in our home often, and I have great memories of him being part of the youth group at The Baptist Church of Beaufort--especially the 1988 mission trip to Boston. Our sincerest sympathies to his family. He was truly a great man.

Dr Jenkins was a fine man and a wonderful Doctor! He loved and cared for so many people in Beaufort.

He was a fabulous man and physician with the best physical diagnosis skills I've ever seen. We are so proud to work in a building that bears his name.
Drs.Eve Ashby and Richard Stewart

In memory of a great physican, proud father and friend. Your did so much for the Beaufort community. May you rest in peace.

Dr. Jenkins was recommended as a family doctor when I moved to Beaufort with my husband a daughter in 1971. He cared for us and my additional two daughters while he practiced. He provided medical and emotional support. He truly cared for his patients as an "old fashioned" doctor. He even made a house call once when I could not make it to the office. He was also a fine Southern gentleman.
