- Dr. Dudley Marcus Stewart, Jr. passed away Sunday, December 13, 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana after a lengthy battle with Lymphoma. He was 68 years old. He was born on December 12, 1941 in Toledo, Ohio to Mary Cabrera Stewart and Dudley Marcus Stewart, Sr.
Dr. Stewart earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Springhill College, Mobile, AL in 1963 and went on to receive his Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Mississippi School of Medicine in Jackson, MS in 1967. He completed his internship at St. Joseph's Hospital in Houston, TX in 1967-68. And in 1970 his residency at Tulane University School of Medicine in the department of Psychiatry and Neurology, where he also was awarded a Fellowship at Tulane University Division of Post Graduate Education for Psychoanalytic Training from 1970-1980. From 1971-1973 he served in the U.S. Army as a Major in the U.S. Medical Corps and completed his military duty at Fort Polk, LA as the Chief of the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology.
As a board certified psychiatrist, Dr. Stewart was committed to improving the mental health of the patients he treated over his 40 years in private practice in New Orleans. In recognition of his efforts, his colleagues in the Louisiana Psychiatric Medical Association voted him the "Psychiatrist of the Year" and awarded him the Edward H. Knight MD Lifetime Achievement Award. He was elected to the Hall of Fame of the LA Psychiatric Association. He was also awarded the Ronald A. Shellow Award from the American Psychiatric Association and the Psychiatric Leadership Award. He was the first Psychiatrist to be elected as President of the Orleans Parish Medical Society, and went on to be elected to the office of President of the Louisiana State Medical Society. He served as a Delegate to the American Medical Association House until his election to the Council on Ethics and Judicial Affairs in 2003, a position he held until his death. Also at the time of his death he served in the Assembly of the American Psychiatric Association.
Throughout his life Dr. Stewart had a passion for fishing, enjoying the peace of the water and the thrill of the catch with friends and family. He relished a challenge and used his talents to foster justice wherever he could.
Dr. Stewart is survived by his devoted wife, Caroll Pray Stewart, who he married in 1996, along with his two loving daughters, Melora Stewart Parish and her husband Joshua Parish of Frederick, MD; and Katherine Stewart Nicholson and her husband James Nicholson of San Francisco, CA. He is also survived by his stepson Addison Thompson and his wife Tracy Thompson of New Orleans, LA. He has four grandchildren: Logan Parish, Evelyn Parish, Sophie Nicholson and Antonia Thompson.
Above all, he will be remembered for his impish smile and quick wit, as a man who could be counted on to state the truth, and for his unwavering dedication to be exactly who he was.
