In Loving Memory…
Of our associate, Dr. Cole Dodson, who passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 11, 2022.
He was a wonderful veterinarian, friend, husband and son. His compassion for people and animals was unsurmountable. He will be greatly missed by his friends, family, and clients.
Dr. Cole Dodson, a 2003 graduate of Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, "came aboard" the Ark in January of 2019. Following graduation, Dr. Dodson practiced at North Bryan Veterinary Clinic, eventually purchasing the practice in 2006. Dr. Dodson sold the practice in 2016 and continued to practice veterinary medicine in the Bryan/College Station/Hempstead area for three more years as an associate practitioner.
His desire to move to the Stephenville area was prompted by his desire to be closer to his parents, who reside in Coleman, Texas. He is joined by his wife Cyndy. They have two dogs and two cats. His focus is in both large and small animal medicine and surgery, with further emergency animal medical experience.
