David Apple Obituary

I miss my Doctor Apple. He was a great doctor, but more...a good friend. Happy Heavenly blessings, my doc and bud!

There will never be another doctor or friend or dad that I respect as much as David. He and I were friends close to 25 and talked daily for many of those . I will remember always ; either laughing crying or just praying God holds him in heaven and that David realizes all the people he helped in his life. Thank you lord for David he made the world a better place for many.

This message is for Joe, Ben and Katie specifically. I did not learn of your father's passing until late the morning of his memorial service when a friend of mine called me. I lost touch with the three of you when your dad agreed to take on my aged mother as a patient. I thought he felt I probably would not be available to stay with you on the mornings when he was on weekend call. I would drop in to his Mt. Pleasant office when I had occasion to be in the building for some reason. I would check with his receptionist and leave a message; I inquired re: the banner on the door with the "star" and I was told it was there because Ben was in the US Army and was soon to return from Korea. I will always remember how well your dad cared for my mother and how he was respectful in calling her by name and directing questions to her specifically (not to her children). He kept her out of the hospital for over a year (a monumental feat). I keep you three in my prayers; I know your father is at peace so my concern is mainly for you.

I had the priviledge of working with Dr Apple as he cared for his patients when they were hospitalized.He was a great physican.He respected the nurses who cared for his patients. It is difficult to believe he is gone. He is at peace.

David was my physician when I first came to Charleton 20yrs ago. He became a friend as well. He was of the kindest most compassionate people I have ever met. His drive to help not just as a physician led to my finding my still current job 17 yrs. I know he will be so missed by his family, friends and co workers and all those he touched. God Bless.

Dr. Apple had been my family doctor for many many years. I was shocked and saddened to hear about his passing. He was always one to make you feel ike he really cared and that your situation was just as important as anyone elses. My symapthies to all of his friends and family.

My deepest sympathies to Dr. Apple's family. He was a most wonderful, empathetic, kind, generous, and skilled doctor, and an exceptional person. I am deeply shocked and saddened at this news. He will surely be missed by all who knew him.

Dr Apple was the doctor to my entire family for many years after Dr. Cline left the practice. He was a good doctor, caring, and compassionate. He will be missed

In shock.. What a special person and wonderful caring doctor! I'm heartbroken for the children whom I heard so much about, for the rest of his family, for his beloved dogs who lost a great master, and Lindsay and Amy, who were such a great complement to his practice and whom I could tell were his family as well. God bless all of you! I will miss him and our visits! RIP Dr. Apple

Our sympathies go out to all of Dr. Apples children Dr. Apple was mine and my husbands doctor for many years. He would always talk about his mother and his children he loved them so much. The community will be missing a great Doctor in the sudden loss of Dr. Apple Just keep in mind that he is in Heaven with his beloved Mother and our Lord and that you will be united with him again one day. Our prayers are with all of you at this time in your life. Your Friends in Christ Richard and Barbara Fetterolf former patients of Dr. Apples

My deepest sympathies to all the family members. I had the pleasure of working along side with Dr. Apple and staff several years ago, he was a kind, compassionate and caring Dr. He will be missed by alot of people. Rest in peace my friend.

Dr. Apple took on my parents as patients when he assumed Dr. Cline's practice years ago. He was a patient, kind man and was always there for my dad and a great support to my mom when my dad became sick. He would always call my dad to fix his lawn mowers and they had a sweet patient/dr friendship. My family and I are so sorry for your loss. The family of the late Reggie and Frances Owens.

David was my mom's (and my) Doctor for many years. He was so caring to my mom, and she really "loved" her some Dr. David Apple. Since his practice changed course over the past few years, I did not see him frequently, but, will always remember his kind, caring demeanor, and easy going personality. Its so true, only the good die young.....gods speed Dave.......

I was one of the fortunate ones to get to know Dr. Apple over this past year. He was a caring doctor and person. I could text him and he would text back immediately when I had any questions. The world will not be as bright. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Ann, Dud, and Family
I am so sorry to hear about David. I just saw the news in the paper. What happened? Ann, I am thinking about you and your family with love. He must be with your mom, that dear woman. Dougie Fitzgerald (Ruth Douglas).

Dr Apple has been my husband's physician and friend for 30 years. He became my doctor and kind caring friend 2 years ago. What a brilliant, thorough, kind, caring gentleman. He loved his family and treated his patients as family as well. We send our prayers for comfort and peace for his family and friends. And eternal love and peace for him. "God be with you 'till we meet again..."

David was our doctor for over 30 years. He could be reached, in person, by using his cell phone number...no more phone trees! The instant doctor!He was there when we needed him. But he was your son,father 24/7. We shall miss seeing him and receiving his care. This brings our heartfelt sadness and sympathy at his untimely death. we will keep you all in our prayers and ask God to comfort and carry you through these sad days. Katharine & Bill Harms

My sympathies to Dr. Apple's family. He was a good, kind, compassionate doctor. He took very good care of me for many years. God Bless his family.

My husband had a stroke 10 years ago. Dr. Apple saved his life. We both felt so comfortable with him. We always knew he cared about us. We will truly miss him. Thank you to his family for sharing him with all of us..God Bless

My sympathy to the Apple family he was a wonderful doctor to me. He was kind and compassionate and cared about people.

May David find peace with our Lord and Jesus Christ our Savior. David, I miss you with fond memories.

May David find peace with our Lord and Jesus Christ our Savior. David, I miss you with fond memories.

David was our family's doctor for many years and our daughter worked for him when he first went into practice. He was a good friend and will be missed.

My sympathy to the Apple family. Joe, Ben & Katie, your father was a great man.

David was the first doctor I ever saw more than once. At our first meeting he impressed me as empathetic, kind and very competent. My husband soon became his patient and then my children. You couldn't be David's patient without becoming his friend. I loved to hear about his children..he was so proud.
There are no words to say our sad we are or express how much we will miss him. Our deepest sympathy to his family.

To David's Family:
I knew David through Roper Hospital, I volunteered there many years and he was always so nice and always spoke to all of us each morning..Charleston has lost another fine doctor. He will always be remembered for his care and compassion for his patients and the great healing that was accomplished through his
time as a physician. May all of you know how much he was loved and admired by everyone. God Bless

To Joe, Ben, Katie, Dud, Dee, Anne and Susan...I and my family were blessed to have had David in our lives. He fills my childhood memories and even filled our children's childhood memories too. We Love You All and our hearts hurt with you. Rest in Peace, my friend always...

A terrible loss ..a good friend and doctor. Les McEwen

My wife Bettye and I have not lost our trusted family doctor for over 30 years, and we have lost a cherished and trusted friend and confidant. His professionalism saved my life over 20 years ago. He was loved and admired our children and grandchildren. We never met his children but David shared many stories about them all through school. Recently, David joked about having to split his loyalty between Carolina and Clemson and expressed his fear and pride about his son going into the military. Bettye and I want to send our love and condolences to David's children and his family and friends. We have lost a rare friend.
Noel Ison and Bettye Ison and our family.

Joe, Ben and Katie, May you all find peace during this difficult time in your life. May God bless each one of you, keep you safe in his arms and comfort you. A co-worker and friend of your Mother! Peace be with you!

I have lost a most cherished Physician and friend. May God bless his family all who loved him at this sad time.

David was a good friend and my doctor for many years. Both my husband, Bill, and I will miss him greatly. May God bless him and his family who he spoke of often.

Dr. Apple was such a beautiful person and a wonderful doctor. My heart goes out to his family.

There are no words for the loss of such a wonderful friend. David will be missed here but he will soar with the angels in heaven. Love to his precious children of whom he adored. Billy and Shirley Betchman

I am so sorry for the loss of a wonderful doctor who truly knew the meaning of compassion and healing with his whole heart. David took such good care of my extended family "the Weeks" and will surly be missed. I know He was welcomed into the kingdom of heaven. He will be missed greatly for all his attributes . God bless your family in this difficult time.

This is truly a tragic and sad loss to the Lowcountry community. Dr. David Apple will be greatly missed by all who knew him, patients, friends and colleagues. My condolences to his family at this difficult time.

I'm at a loss, we all are! He's with his momma now. I know she was waiting with open arms. May he dwell in the house of the lord; peace & love surrounding him always.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Joe, Ben, Katie, Susan, Ann and Mr. Apple, my prayers and thoughts are with each of you at this most difficult time. My time spent with David will always be cherished!

What a great loss to the medical community and all of his patients and friends. He was truly a dedicated physician to his patients.

My sympathies to all the family members. Matt Rabon
