Henry Gibson Obituary

Such wonderful memories and much love every time both your parents come to mind.

DR. Gibson was always one of my most favorite people in Barnwell. He and Evie were so dear to my family when I was growing up. Wonderful memories stay with me!!

Will always remember Dr. Gibson, as my Hero! Loved him so much! Think of him and family so often.

Oh, what a life well lived. I have such wonderful memories, even doctoring on me by my bedside. I would love to get in touch with any of the girls. Margaret Anne Bush Haskell

Dr. Gibson delivered me at 4am December 20, 1959 at Barnwell County Hospital. He remained my doctor for through the years. I was saddened to hear of his passing. May your memories of him comfort you tomorrow and know that he will always be in your hearts.

Mrs. Gibson and family. I had the good fortune of serving with Henry in Honduras several years and worked with him during my stent on the Board. He was a missionary mentor, a friend, a brother in Christ and I will surely miss his smile and wit. I know your memories will last forever, just as mine will. He was a true gentleman and a compassionate human who answered the call to help others. We all will miss him.

On behalf of the Heritage League of the 2nd Air Division, we send our sincere condolences to the entire family. He will always be a hero in our eyes.

Dr. Gibson delivered me in 1958. Shortly thereafter, my family moved to Manning, SC. I had the good fortune to move back to Barnwell in 1986, and thereafter was in need of a doctor. Is Dr. Gibson still practicing? YES. In checking, I was asked if I had ever been at the office. No... but - Dr. Gibson delivered me. THEY FOUND MY FILE! Last seen at 5 weeks old. When Dr. Gibson entered my room, he stared at my chart, stared at me, then proclaimed "My, you've gained a lot of weight since I saw you last". Oh, how we laughed. I loved that man. I am fortunate to have known him.

Our hearts are broken over the loss of a wonderful doctor and a friend to everyone who knew him. Henry Gibson was more than just our family practitioner for many years, he was a man who encouraged and inspired us through his many good deeds. Aside from delivering our daughter 50 years ago and caring for our Mother when she was very sick, he became someone we confided in and respected for his contributions to our community in Barnwell. We offer our sincere sympathy to those who loved him dearly.

I have heard many wonderful stories about Dr. Gibson from his grandson, Chad. He was a gem and will be missed. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I will never forget the sweet memories I have as a child of time spent with Precious and Papa. Your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers! Much love and strength-

I just returned from Limon this past Saturday. It was my first medical mission trip. David spoke so fondly of Doc Gibson- I am sad I didn't get to meet the man who started such a wonderful clinic. His legacy will live on through the work there. Many people have been touched by his love and care. God Bless you all!

Evie, I think you would remember Daddy's brother Brown Towles/son Billy Towles in Wilmington NC. Billy wants me to tell you and the girlsthat he and his wife Brenda are thinking of you and are so sorry to hear of your loss. We love you and pray for your comfort in knowing Dr. gibson was one of the kindest people we could have known.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I read the obituary of the passing of another of the Greatest Generation. Doctor Gibson delivered three of our four children, the oldest is now 52. Beyond that he was our family doctor and tended my Mother in the last years of her life, often in the middle of the night. One of God's gifts to humanity is now with him

What a wonderful man, friend, and colleague. We love and miss him. He was a real blessing in our lives

I am sorry to hear of the lost in your family. Please find comfort during this difficult time by reading Essl.6:9 in your Bible.

Yvonne and all Dr. Gibson's family,
I am sorry I did not know Dr. Gibson (Henry) was in Providence Hospital until fairly late Friday night. I have always admired his devotion to medicine and the care of others as well as his ability to balance his life.
Though not especially a Bible scholar, thanks to my Denmark, SC upbringing, I know of some scripture. These verses, one already acknowledged, seem appropriate at this time of Dr. Gibson's death:
Matthew 10:8; "Freely you have received, freely give."
John 15:13; "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
Isaiah 6:8; "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."
2Timothy 4:7; "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."
Rhoda and I extend to you and all Dr. Gibson's family our heart-felt condolences and wish for you that memories of all the good times spent together will serve to soften the grief that must pervade now.

Doctors are a gift, they know just how to touch our hearts.
My deepest sympathy to the family. May God give you strength, comfort and peace. -Psalm 29:11
