Carl Wetzig Obituary

Still remember! Paul Wetzig became my Opthamologist when I was 3 years old and born with Glaucoma. Just as he retired (I believe), Carl took over his father's practice and was a great doctor like his father. Being diagnosed 34 years after the beginning of my eye care with the Drs Wetzig, with Sturge Weber Syndrome, all of my opthamologists, even current, are greatly impressed with the great eye health care I was given growing up and want to know where and whom my eye care givers were.
The Drs Wetzig deserve their world-wide recognition!

Carl Wetzig

Though some time's past - I had a "dream"
And we conversed; or so it seemed
And then I found you´ve left this plane.
I wish you well new life again.

Recall it well as we grew up.
We did some things - now all grown up.
Like played in band for many years.
And later on we drank some beers.

And now I´m old and you are gone.
Seems one great life; some kids you spawned.
And help some folks and made some bucks.
Well, here´s to you. I´ll say "aw-shucks."

I am still deeply saddened, now two years later and forever, about the loss of my dear Friend, Carl. Mt thoughts and heart are with your Family, Carl. I will never forget our wonderful close Friendship in Med School and the awesome time you showed us in Colorado climbing mountains and drinking ice cold Coors. Awesome Memories. Thank you !!!!

So sorry to learn of the death of Dr Carl. He was one day younger than myself and Dr Paul was my doctor from the age of 3 until I moved away from Colorado Springs in 1982. Dr Carl I believe, saw me the last time I was in the office. May he rest in peace with God.

Carl was my eye doctor for over 40 years and he will be missed. My condolences to the Wetzig family.

My family sends sincere condolences to the Wetzig Family. The Doctors Wetzigs tended to 4 generations of my family & Carl's sister Dorrie was in my school class for 13 years. Carl was in my gym class a couple of years during school & I remember that he always played fairly & was concerned whenever a classmate was injured. My brother John Scott & I wish the Wetzig Family well.

Dr. Carl was a wonderful person and an exceptional eye doctor to me for many years. I recommended many people to him from the Colorado Springs area. My sincere condolences to Dr. Carl's family and friends.

We are saddened to learn of your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that God collects our tears and is ready to sustain us during our time of need - Psalm 56:8.

Dr. Wetzig was the ophthalmologist for my wife Jerri for some 40 years and for me about 20. Previous to this, Jerri's mother and daughter was a patient of Dr. Wetzig's father.In terms of technical proficiency, Carl was right at the top of his profession. But in terms of his humanity and caring for patients, he was even better. Our condolences to the entire family. We will truly miss this remarkable man.

So sorry for your loss. I was his patient I enjoyed going to see him I will miss him.
Prayers to the family

Our condolences to the entire family and all the co-workers at Colorado Springs Eye Clinic. Dr. Wetzig was my doctor for many years. We were saddened by his loss and pray for your comfort in this time.

Our sincere condolences to the Wetzig family. We have know the Wetzig family since 1968 when his father Paul was treating me at that time. His Father Dr Paul, Carl and Richard continued to treat myself, my wife, parents and other family members. Dr Carl was an excellent doctor and we always enjoyed talking and joking with him during our visits. Dr Carl always enjoyed when my wife would bring burritos and green chili for him and the staff. We also talked how we shared the same wedding anniversary date as he as is wife. Dr Carl will truly be missed by me and my family. God bless you all and may he rest in peace.

The family,friends,patients and fellow workers will be in my thoughts and prayers as we all take time to remember Dr. Wetzig. I treated with him for 20 yrs. He was a fantastic doctor and an amazing person. He took the time to relate and get to know his patients, always asked about my life and often shared an experience he had traveling etc. I didn't have insurance for a period of time and he always made sure I was seen and had the medicine I needed for my eye problems. He will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him! God bless!

The world has lost a wonderful human being. He was so very caring and generous. My heartfelt condolences to all who knew and will miss him.

My condolences to the family. In memory of Blondell Erby. She loved Carl. He and family was great to her. He was a kind loving person. So overwhelming to hear of his passing. Love and prayers to the family.

I am shocked and so very sad to hear of Dr. Carl's passing. I have been his patience since the day he started at Colorado Springs Eye Clinic and his father Dr. Paul Wetzig before that. Since I am a native of Colo. Spgs., and we were about the same age we always had great conversations about growing up in this area. I will miss him and his great smile and the compassion and the great care he always gave me. My prayers go to the entire Wetzig family. A great man that had so much to give back to others. God Bless!

Carl was my little brother his freshman year at Phillips University. I am saddened with this loss. Deepest sympathy to his family. His memory will always make me smile.

My mom and I were shocked to read Dr Carl Wetzig's obituary and we will both miss him a lot. He was our eye doctor for years and a good friend.

My thoughts and prayers continue on for the entire family/friends/co-workers of Dr. Wetzig! I lost my Father in July 2018 and Dr. Wetzig was the BEST to him. He was so professional, kind, GREAT bedside manners, and I know he will be missed by all who were acquainted with him! I feel honored to have known him, and I am here for his Mother, Sister Laura, and co-worker April. Truly a shock for all I know. His Legacy like his Fathers will carry on forever!

Dear Wetzig family, I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with Chris for a short time and knew him to be a fine young man. My deepest sympathy.

As a dear friend of Carl all through Med School at UofL and many wonderful memories, I am deeply saddened. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Doreen, Carol, Dorrie, Richard, Laura, Christopher, Cayley, Casey, and your entire family. I truly iwsh I could be there with you. My heart is, though. Richard, thank you so much for calling me and Jordan.

My sincerest sympathies to the Wetzig family and the office staff. This is a life to celebrate as Carl was one of the finest doctors and most dedicated practitioners. His passion for life and humanity was evident to all of us as his patients. I have been so blessed to have been in the care of Paul C Wetzig, his dad, since prior to his practice in Colorado Springs ( Dr Rusk interned him in Pueblo ) and to have had the excellent care of Carl for this generation. Although Carl has been taken from us much too soon, he has left us with a legacy of our good health and fond smiling memories. Korki (Corliss) Hurd Stroud, Englewood, CO

Carl, my dear cousin, thank you for your friendship. Rest In Peace and God be with you.

Dr. Wetzig, and his father, took wonderful care of myself and my family, since we moved to Colorado Springs in 1969. My most sincere condolences to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed, but he will be remembered always!

I first meet Carl at Phillips University in 1967. My grandfather in Colorado Spring knew Carl's father Paul. Carl and I became very good friends and tennis partners. He was a wonderful man. When he was stressed from studying , I would say you need a break, let's play tennis. Also I could make him laugh out loud. I'm proud to say you were a great friend and person. Love you Brother, Rest in Peace. Brad Broadfoot

I was so saddened to learn of Dr. Wetzig's tragic death. He was such an outstanding doctor. As his patient for many years, I appreciated his professionalism and excellent care. My sincere sympathy to the family. God Bless.

I have partial sight in one of my eyes. My other eye received a scratch, and I almost lost all of my eye sitebut Dr. Wetzig saved my vision. He was always there when I needed him and was a pleasure to visit with. I will never forget him.

The Wetzigs took care of so many friends, family and neighbors over the years, and it took my breath away to learn of Dr. Carl Wetzig's tragic passing. He was a true gentleman and a doctor's doctor. My heart breaks for his family, as well as current patients and staff.
God Bless, and God Speed Dr. Wetzig.

I will miss this wonderful Man/Doctor, I send my heartfelt sympathy to his family. The best "eye" doctor ever, was mine for YEARS.

I was so sorry to hear this tragic news. I really liked and respected Dr. Wetzig. He was always so kind, laid back and funny. I am so sorry for your loss.

He will be truly missed. A tremendous man who raised a tremendous family. We are so sorry for your loss.

A true gentleman by any measure, friend and one of the best eye doctors ever. He will be missed by all who knew him and by his patients. God bless and rest in peace.
