We were pre-veterinary medical students at Iowa State and living in the same dormitory - but he left to go to medical school. He was more serious and studious than we were - I see he endowed a chair at the Iowa State College of Veterinary Medicine  - Thank you

Sorry to hear of Tyrone's passing. My siblings and our families send our best wishes to the family.

He had a laugh that was unique and adorable. As a young nursing student he made learning fun. He will remain an enduring memory to so many, those he helped and those he inspired.

It saddened me to hear of Dr. Artz passing, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He was a great Dr. That saved me from loosing my hand when I was just 14 year's old, I'm 51 now and still have a wonderful work of art to thank him for.

Dr. Artz helped both of my sons when they were born by checking them for hip dysplasia.  His expertise saved both of them from future hip problems.  Thank you, Dr. Artz.

Dr. Tyrone Artz made a huge difference in my life. I met him when he first arrived in Wichita from Iowa. I was lucky enough to be assigned as his medical assistant @ the Wichita Clinic in 1975 (?). He encouraged me to return to college . While I was  earning my degree in nursing at WSU, Dr. Artz allowed  me to work in his office whenever I could squeeze in the time. One of the hardest decision I ever had to make was to leave that office practice and start my nursing career at St. Francis.  He touched so many lives with his expertise  and was a genuine assets to the Wichita medical community.  May the peace of the Lord be with his  family and friends, In admiration of a life well lived, Mary Pat Aaron

My thoughts and prayers to the family of Dr. Artz.  I remember him as a kind, compassionate doctor.  He was always respectful of all, including us nurses.  RIP

To the family and friends of Dr.Atz: May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be  with all of you at this time of grief. I too had the honor of working with him in the OR. He was truly a visionary, and consumnate professional, providing Wichita with skilled and compassionate Othopaedic care. Always  learning, always teaching,a gentleman, & so funnny!You will be missed..

My condolences to the family of Dr. Artz.  I was saddened today to hear of his passing.

We are so sorry to hear of Tyrone's passing! He was someone of whom my mom Cleo always was so proud! To this day, I take my family every year to the National Western Stock Show cattle barns in honor of Tyrone. I really do think he is the reason I love seeing those big eyed beauties every year! It has been years and years since I last said hello in person, but I always loved his smile that he gave me when we talked. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you!

Dr. Artz was my handsome older cousin, and I remember always thinking he was quite something. He met my parents and I in KC once for barbecue, the first day I spent in the city that would eventually become my home. I know my parents, Ted and Joan Wilding, loved him very much. My condolences on their behalf and for my sister Jacque and myself.

May the Lord Bless and Keep You is my prayer for the whole family. In knowing and working with Dr. Tyrone Artz for many years I was throughly appreciative to have known him professionally and personally. I hope in time that all of you will be able to remember and smile about all the good times you have had and great lessons learned with him and from him.

To The Artz Family,
What a great man! I loved working with him in surgery. He was very skilled! It was indeed a privilege to represent the products that Dr Artz used . I only got to work with him for the last 5 years he practiced  but, it was awesome. 
I hope you find comfort that he is indeed in heaven , having cared for so many over the years.
With Heartfelt Sympathy,

To the Tyrone Artz family, may the Lord bless and keep you.  You are in my prayers.  I worked with Dr. Artz for many years and will never forget the many experiences we shared over the years He was a very skilled and wonderful orthopedic surgeon. Taking care of his patients was always a  joy. I will always remember his funny little laugh and I feel so privileged to have been able to work with him.  I could spot his incisions across the room. Rest on, its your time to rest.  The world of Orthopedic Medicine will miss you.

To The Artz Family,
"Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of underserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word. 
(2 Thessalonians 2:16,17) May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful 
memories of joyful times together as you celebrate the life of your love one.
With Heartfelt Sympathy,

Tyrone never strayed far from his Iowa roots.  He had an amazing work ethic and a general humility about himself.  A gentle giant.

I had the privilege to work with Dr. Artz during my residency. He was a visionary in his field, a kind and gentle physician to his patients, and a wealth of knowledge to those who had the opportunity to watch him work. My condolences to those who were lucky enough to know him personally.
