John and I had exactly the same birth date, 3 Oct 1946. As his patient, when I visited, his nurse would get frustrated because John and I would talk about everything under the son for quite a while after the medical check was over. I miss him. A really great guy!

He was my physician for thirty years. He always listened to what I had to say and made me feel like i was a partner in my health. He was as much a friend as a doctor to me.

May God grant you blessings and grace during this time of grief. John and I lived next door to each other. We knew each other but we had different friends. I am really touched by the many remarks about how his work touched so many lives. He has left a truly loving legacy.

Our deepest sympathy to Karen, Jason, and Alicia and their families. Dr. Dobbs was a pleasure to work with in the early years of the clinic in Conway. We have good memories of him in our family. I know he will be missed.

Terry and I convey our sympathy and prayers to John's family and friends. Dr. Dobbs was a doctor like no other and took care of our family until he retired. He was very caring and would do anything to help his patients. We cannot remember all the times we called outside of office hours and he would always say come into the office and I will take care of you. Once, I passed out at 3 am and Terry had to call John to see what to do. He answered and told her the steps to take and I was ok. Whenever Terry made that call, she said to John "I know you hate these 3 am calls and I hated to call". John assured her it was alright. He was very generous with his time for patients, we can't get that service today. Personally, John and Karen are great friends. We had many good times going to Greers Ferry lake and other places for picnics and parties. We appreciated the opportunity to get to know John's family. John could be very funny at times. Once he and I went to Utah to elk hunt. After we had been there about 5 days we went into Moab for some supplies and a meal. We saw a place that offered showers and John spoke to the lady about taking a shower. We hadn't brought a change of clothes down with us. So John told the lady "If we get real dirty, we'll be back". I always wondered what that lady thought and wondered if she would let us in if we came back. On that same trip we stopped in Pagosa Springs to spend the night. As it was opening deer season there were no rooms available except for one little cabin with one twin bed. It had radiator heat which couldn't be turned off. I slept on the floor by the radiator which was very hot and John slept on the twin bed. He was very generous and let me open the window so I wouldn't be hot and he had to sleep in a sleeping bag on the bed to stay warm. We'll never have another like Dr. John and he will be greatly missed.

Dear Karen, Jason, Alicia, and all the family and friends of John Dobbs. You have my sympathy and are in my thoughts and prayers. He will be remembered as a good doctor, a good man, a good person. He will be missed. The pain of loss can be great. Just remember the only reason we feel such pain is because of our love for the one who has passed. If we did not love, we would not feel the pain of loss. Peace to all and know that John is in God's caring hands. We will treasure the memories we have of John's love for life and love for people. His good deeds go with him into eternity. My wife, Patricia, sends her love and condolences, as well.

Dr.Dobbs was my doctor throughout his whole career in Conway. I started out with him when I was in my 20s and he retired when I was in my 60s. He saw me through a divorce and my brother dying of Aids. He seriously saved my life several times. He always took his time with me and listened closely to what I had to say. I could tell him anything, yet he never judged me. When he retired, we both cried in his office. He told me he was looking forward to spending time with his grandkids. I will always be thankful for his conscientious care. He certainly did what God put him on the Earth to do. God Bless you all and God Bless you, Dr. Dobbs.

Deepest sympathy on the loss of Dr. Dobbs. He was a family friend to my first husband’s family, the Hartle’s and delivered my first baby. He was also my mom’s doctor. He will be dearly missed by many.

Am a childhood through high school friend of John. Always appreciated his friendship even though I didn’t know it. He was never a bully though he was taller than most of us. He lived around the corner from me near Rose City Elementary. He and our buddies spent many a day on the school yard. Lost track after high school. Was not surprised he became a doctor. Destiny for John.
I’m so sorry for your loss of your husband, father, grandfather and friend to many.

We were so heartbroken to hear about John, especially Jeremy. Getting to visit with him at family functions was always a joy. Jeremy got to know his cousin better after he became his doctor while Jeremy attended UCA. Aunt Lucille was one proud momma and talked about John regularly when she was alive. Had Jeremy’s dad or sisters told us John had been sick, both of us would have come to see him. It was a shock and we are deeply sorry. Love to you! Judy Smith and son, Jeremy Smith

John Dobbs was my life long friend. We went fishing, hunting, hiking, and just about everything together. Our kids played together, we went places with our families together. Patricia and I often gathered as a group of close friends with Karen and John, Billy and Terry, Ferrel and Renee, Rex and Martha, and enjoyed the many stories that John would tell. Thanks for being our friend and close confident, doctor, and the glue that made us stronger. Above all, John was a Christian who loved to help people and he loved his family dearly. John made Patricia and I feel that we were part of his family. We will miss him but know that he is in a better place. Patman

Karen & Family, Bob and I send our sincere condolences. When I moved to Conway in 1978, I worked at the Ross/Dobbs Clinic.

We send prayers and deepest sympathy to Karen, Jason, Alesia and grandchildren on the lost of your husband, father and proud grandfather. Having Dr. Dobbs for our family physician and going to Ross/Dobbs Clinic after moving to Conway from Louisiana over 40 years ago was a blessing. He was a great doctor and sharing stories about our grandchildren was always enjoyable after our office visit. He liked to hear about the different foods of New Orleans. Karen and family, may the love and comfort of Jesus be with you during this time of loss. With Love

Karen, Jason, & Alicia…..please know you are in my thoughts and prayers in the loss of John. I recall the first time I saw him at the office after we moved home from South Dakota….Melissa (not yet 2) had burned her hand and I hurried to the first doctor from Smoking Oaks. It turned out that John and I had both grown up in Rose City and he knew my brother. We have good memories of Jeff & Melissa being friends with Jason & Alicia. May you feel the comfort only our Lord can provide.

Our most sincere condolences to the Dobbs family. My mom told us instances in which Dr. Dobbs and the staff at Ross-Dobbs Clinic have assisted us in times of healthcare needs that extended beyond the lengths of what any other provider would do. Our gratitude extends deeply to him. Prayers and well wishes to his family and friends.

Karen and the family, we are so sorry your husband, dad and grandfather was taken so soon after his retirement. He became our doctor soon after he began practicing in Conway, and he was our doctor until the day he retired. Many of his other patients were the same because they knew, as we did, we were in good hands. He was a professional and he never quit working to learn and be better for his patients. He was already missed as a doctor, and now he is missed as a man. May he rest in peace, and may God bring comfort and peace to all those who loved and cared for him, especially his family.

I’ve known Dr. Dobbs for over 40 years. He was my doctor who provided excellent care for me and my family. He was a little quiet and reserved in the office visits. However, later on we became neighbors, and Laura and I would visit often with him about “how to solve the world’s problems” on his daily walks around the neighborhood. I missed him when he retired from the medical profession and we will miss him as a friend and neighbor. Our sympathies go out to Karen and the family.

Dr. John Carroll Dobbs was my doctor for approximately fourty years. He delivered my daughter in Conway hospital in 1981. During all those many years I went to him for various ailments and he was in my humble opinion the very best doctor a patient could ever hope to have. At one point we watched our Grandsons Sawyer and Riley play on the same flag football team. We discussed everything from favorite books to a resemblance I had to another patient of his who was also employed where i was to patterns in the paneling in his office. I saw a pit bull dog in one and he said the lady we'd discussed the resemblance to had said the very same thing plus her last name was my maiden name. A very competent physician and our personalities meshed well. I hate to learn of his passing and wish his family all the comfort one can absorb at a time like this.
