Dr. John Calvin Stubblefield, 82, was welcomed by our Lord and Savior on Christmas day, Saturday, December 25, 2021, the most beautiful day of the year.
John was born December 3, 1939 to Luther Calvin and Edith Mary Miller Stubblefield in Liberty, TX and lived most of his life in the Southwest Louisiana area. He was a 1957 graduate of Welsh High School and a 1962 graduate of McNeese State University. He served his country as a captain in the U. S. Army in Korea and then completed his pre-medical studies at Louisiana State University, where he obtained his medical degree in Dermatology. Following his residency in Augusta, Georgia, John returned to Louisiana and made Lake Charles the home for his practice of over fifty years. He treated his patients as though they were family and greatly valued the trust they placed in him. His reassuring smile only emphasized the fact that he considered it his privilege to have the opportunity to care for his patients.
John's on-going service to his chosen field was evidenced through his association as a Fellow in the American Academy of Dermatology, as a member of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Inc., and as President of the Calcasieu Parish Medical Society. He was once again honored in 2007 by being awarded the Calcasieu Medical Society Foundation Community Service Award.
John had a vision for the Lake Charles area to have a community clinic so that all residents in need would have access to free medical help. He saw that vision through, coordinating efforts and gaining the support and participation of multiple entities, including McNeese State University, which provided not only a facility, but nursing students who would become a vital part of that clinic staff, and enlisting doctors of various fields to volunteer their time to serve in the clinic. The Calcasieu Community Clinic has become a lifeline to many, thanks to John's compassionate vision.
John was a recipient of the Della Krause Thielen Voluntarism Award and the Chamber/Southwest Louisiana Civic Service Award. His love for Lake Charles continued to shine as he sponsored the Shade Pavilion for Millennium Park through the Department of Recreation and Parks. Empathy for his fellow man was innate in John. As a Mason, he was named "The Shrine of North American Noble Imperial Potentate's Aide," and as a Rotary Club member, he encouraged the club to provide international medical relief to the war-ravaged town of Mostar in Bosnia, Herzegovina. Through his heart-felt persuasion, the club sent 300 pounds and 44 cubic feet of greatly needed medical supplies to that town. John loved the fun and excitement of the Mardi Gras season, helping to establish the Krewe de la Famille and participating in Washington, D.C. Mardi Gras.
John enjoyed being active and supporting his community and took great pride in "all things McNeese." His blue and gold McNeese Cowboy pride was continuous, freely devoting his time and resources to his university, serving as a member of the McNeese Cowboy Club and Inner Circle of the McNeese Foundation, as past president of the McNeese Quarterback Club, as a board member of the McNeese State University Alumni Association. His beloved alma-mater honored that commitment by naming him the McNeese State University Award of Appreciation of Outstanding Service, and in 2013, John was the recipient of the time-honored McNeese Alumni Distinguished Service Award. He often said, "It just feels natural to give back to the university that gave me my start, provided some of my fondest memories and continues to shape the lives and futures of young adults." His downtime was often spent boating, fishing, or traveling throughout the world. He had a special love for the mountains of Colorado. His joy in visiting these special places was clear as one viewed his ever-smiling countenance and heard his free laughter.
John Stubblefield was a man of honor and integrity; he was a true friend to those whose paths crossed his. His compassion and dedication to his family and friends and to those causes in which he believed knew no bounds. John Stubblefield will long be remembered as a joyful, selfless servant to the community that he so faithfully embraced.
John leaves to cherish his memory his devoted wife of thirty-six years, Joyce Patterson, and one beloved daughter, Shawn Stubblefield, both of Lake Charles.
Funeral services will be at 11:00 AM Wednesday, December 29, 2021, at the North Venue of Trinity Baptist Church under the direction of Johnson Funeral Home. Doctor John Robert Black will officiate. A gathering of family and friends will be at Trinity Baptist Church North Venue on Tuesday, December 28, 2021, from 4:00 until 7:00 PM and will continue on Wednesday from 9:30 AM until the time of service.
Memorial donations may be made to the Calcasieu Community Clinic, the McNeese State University Foundation, or to the McNeese State University Alumni Association.
