Fraser Landreneau Obituary

On Monday, November 7, 2011, Fraser Edmund Landreneau, M.D., FACS, succumbed to death following his courageous battle with cancer. We are assured he is now with Our Lord and Savior, praying for us as he did with his family and patients here on Earth. Fraser was the devoted husband of Amy Culpepper Landreneau for 16 years and the loving father of Claire Elise, Caroline Armand, and Alexander "Lex" Fraser. Dr. Landreneau was the son of Rodney E. Landreneau Jr., M.D., FACS (deceased) and Colleen Fraser Landreneau of Eunice, Louisiana. He was the brother of Rodney J. Landreneau, M.D., FACS and wife, Sandra of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Michael D. Landreneau, M.D., FACS (deceased); Denise Landreneau Bowie, and husband, Charles Bowie, M.D., of Eunice, Louisiana; Melany Landreneau Vidrine and husband, Kyle of Eunice, Louisiana; and Edythe Landreneau Koonce, and husband, Jeffrey Koonce, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was the son-in-law of Lawrence Culpepper, DDS and his wife, Kay, of Monroe, Louisiana; and the brother-in-law of Brett Culpepper and wife, Kristie of Baton Rouge. Dr. Landreneau was the uncle of 20 nieces and nephews and great uncle of 3. Dr. Landreneau grew up in Eunice, Louisiana and graduated with honors from St. Edmund High School in 1986. He was an Altar Server, Eagle Scout and a life long supporter of Scouting. At St. Edmund's he excelled in athletics where he earned ??All District" honors in football under the coaching of Joe Nagata (deceased). He attended Louisiana State University in Eunice and in Baton Rouge from 1986 through 1989 and was an active member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity in Baton Rouge. He was an early admissions selection for medical school training at Louisiana State University Medical Center in Shreveport where he excelled and was elected to membership of the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society for Academic Excellence. After completing medical school, Dr. Landreneau was selected for neurosurgical residency training at the University of Texas â€" Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas where he was chief resident from 1998-1999. During his neurosurgical residency, he was selected for additional neurosurgical vascular training at the prestigious Barrow Neurological Institute of Phoenix, Arizona. In 1998, Dr. Landreneau also completed a Neurosurgical Fellowship at the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, Australia. After completing neurosurgical training in 1999, Dr. Landreneau joined the NeuroMedical Center of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In 2004, he was a founding partner and member of the medical team, led by Dr. Thomas Flynn, involved in building the present NeuroMedical Center Hospital in Perkins Rowe. Dr. Landreneau was an excellent technical neurosurgeon, an innovator and inventor of spinal instrumentation medical devices, two of which his daughters, Claire and Caroline helped to create, and he was a "first rate," caring doctor, admired by his patients and his medical colleagues. A friend to all who knew him, Dr. Landreneau was respected and loved by nurses and medical staffs throughout Baton Rouge. Dr. Landreneau was board certified in Neurosurgery and he was elected into the American College of Surgeons in 2001. He was a Freemason and a member of the Knights of Columbus. He was a member of St. George Parish Roman Catholic Church of Baton Rouge. Fraser's passionate loves were for his family, neurosurgery, LSU football, travel, fishing, hunting, and outdoor adventures. He was the neurosurgical consultant for LSU athletics and a member of the Tiger Athletic Foundation (TAF). We will miss his energetic nature and enthusiasm for life, his loving spirit, and his dedication to his friends, patients, and his family. This summer, Fraser worked tirelessly for the American Cancer Society. Fraser's family is truly grateful for the support and prayers given during his valiant fight. Visitation will be at Resthaven Funeral Home, 11817 Jefferson Highway, Thursday, November 10, 2011 from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. with Rosary at 7pm.

Dr. Landreneau performed my mom's 3 back surgery. He always had a smile on his face and his belief in God was amazing. He always prayed with us and right before every surgery. Mom loved Dr. Fraser Landreneau and she would always prayed that he would get back his strength. She wanted her doctor back because she felt so good around him, his presence was felt as soon as he came into the room. We will love and miss Dr. Landreneau. We know that he is with God now.

I knew him only briefly. But, was deeply impressed by the conviction he had fo the benefit and well-being of his patients, honest loyalty to his peers and colleagues, and obvious deep love for his family and friends. We have lost a good man, not just a superb surgeon. Jim Moore.

The weekend of Thanksgiving, 2000, Fraser performed a dual subdural hematoma on me and saved my life. I am thankful everyday for him. I was also glad to run into him while out to dinner in July and was fortunate enough to speak with him and his family briefly. He will be greatly missed.

Seldom do we get a chance to meet a physician who epitimizes the term "healer" encompassing both the physical and psychological needs of their patients. We met that person in Fraser. The ease with which he performed his medical talents putting my wife at ease with her surgery amazed me. He was more than just our physician, we considered him our friend. He will be sorely missed in his profession and by all who knew him. God always takes the best first. In this instance that premise is confirmed. God watch over him and his family. All of our condolences.

Reading this guest book makes me realize that my best friend's story was not unique. But she was one that didn't make it, and Fraser Landreneau gave no false expectations. What he DID give her was 2 more years of a great quality of life, when no one else would operate, and her family and I are forever grateful. Denise, your brother was truly working God's miracles. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Mrs. Landreneau and Family, please accept my deep and sincere condolences in your GREAT loss. I have had the great pleasure of being Dr. Landreneau's patient. Dr. Landreneau was the most caring, compassionate and talented Dr. that I have ever met, and the only Dr. that prayed with me before surgery! My prayers have been with all of you since learning of Dr. Landreneau's illness, and will continue to be with you. May the Peace of GOD be with you all. Thank you for sharing this GREAT Man with us, his patients. May GOD Bless and Keep you ALWAYS!!

November 11, 2011

Amy and the Landreneau family, I've been praying for your amazing family since you texted me the news in January. I know he made every one of his patients feel like they were his favorite and thats one of the many reasons why he was such a great man. Since I was in 7th grade, I prayed to find a doctor who could fix my back and I thank God everyday for Dr. Landreneau. HE changed my life. He got my back in great condition so I could get pregnant and carry a child. He gave me my life back and my family and I are FOREVER thankful. Amy, I pray for you and your wonderful, sweet children all the time. I was always the most impressed that he was such a family guy even though he had such a damanding job. There is so much more I want to say, but I don't have the words. I'm praying for you all.

love,
your back buddy during tailgaiting

"To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground." Dr. Fraser E. Landreneau walked on holy ground! I had the privilege of meeting this incredible, gifted and talented doctor when my brother-in-law was his patient. Within moments, I knew there was something special and rare in this one-of-a-kind doctor.

My deepest sympathy to his beloved family and friends. His beautiful legacy will live on in them and in all of the good things he did!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Amy and family,
The world has lost a great man.
I was fortunate enough for him to accept me as a patient after learning of my brain tumor.
He saved me by removing it on November 9, 2010. Ironically, almost exactly one year before he went to his reward.
I particularly remember before the surgery when he grabbed my hand along with my family and asked that we pray. He made me feel like family.
Since my follow up visit was near Christmas, I baked him my special rum cake as a show of appreciation of him and for what he does. After the holidays, I was honored to receive a personal thank you card from him. Shortly after, I heard the tragic news of this illness.
The world (medical and otherwise) will not be the same without him.
We will keep you all in our prayers.

Dr Landreneau, You will be missed! Your legacy will live in those beautiful children and your loving wife. I know you are safe at home with your Dad and God our Father. I want to thank God for letting us get to know you and allowing you to have such an impact here. In His Name, bless you and your beautiful family.

Dr. Landreneau was my doctor for many years. He operated twice on me; once on the cervical and the other on the lumbar. The lumbar invovled a missing disc which could have led to paralysis if nothing done. Dr. Landreneau looked at my husband and explained to him that at anytime if the situation changes, he needs to immediately call him. He gave us ALL the phone numbers where he can be reached at anytime. He explained not to hesitate in calling him morning or night . His faith in God showed through his work.(In clinic and in surgery.) He gave God the glory for the successful talent he had in healing. He was truly God's vessel. He was a very selfless man. Always putting others before his needs. Yes, he ALWAYS prayed with you before going into surgery; even if the minister had already prayed. He was very proud of his children. He displayed their creative artwork throughout the rooms and office. He would explain each painting. His love for his children was heard when he spoke about them.
No more pain and suffering, for he is in a much better place. We will continue to pray for the family.

Cheryl McManus

November 10, 2011

May God give Dr. Landreneau's family much peace and comfort during this difficult time. In 2001, his successful surgery allowed me to walk again and I will never forget him and how faithful he was. He prayed with us before and after surgery. When I think now that he was 33 yrs. old at that time, I am in awe of his intelligence, professionalism, and maturity. What a legacy and surely something his family should be proud of. Rest in Peace, Dr. Landreneau - truly admired by many and a gift to all in times of need.

From office visit #1 Dr Landreneau made me feel like family. He would come sit next to me and talk about how I was feeling, he didn't sit across the room and stare at me while asking questions. He was very personable. I will miss seeing him in scrubs and cowboy boots. He was truly one of a kind. My heart goes out to his family, Sincerely....LaKisha Webb (Baton Rouge)

November 10, 2011

To Dr. Landreneau's family and loved ones:
Dr. Landreneau was a fine doctor, and he was even a finer person. I'm proud to say that he became my champion. He not only restored my body, but he restored my hope in mankind. I was going through a difficult time as a result of a spine related injury, and I had felt betrayed by my previous caregivers. This is when I met Fraser, and he became my doctor and surgeon. Initially I was reluctant to trust him because of my past experiences, but he immediately put me at ease because of his willingness to take a personal interest in me. He could tell that I was bothered, and he wanted to know why. He continued to pursue the root of my insecurities, and as a result of his compassion he became my advocate. He wasn't afraid to swim against the current, or to question the judgments or decisions of his peers. Fraser not only provided me with excellent medical care and counsel, but he also used his resources in the medical community to see to it that I got all of the care that I needed. Through this experience I was able to meet some of his family members, and it is without question that they held him in high regard.
My sympathy goes out to all who knew him and loved him. I will certainly never forget him, nor will I forget the true healer and Christian that he was.
May God comfort you all during this difficult time.

My follow up visit was right before Christmas so I baked him my special rum cake in appreciation of the type of person he was and what he did for me personally.
I was honored to receive a personal thank you note from him shortly after the holidays. Shortly after, I received news of his tragic illness.

This week, I lost a friend and a beloved physician. I know he is in heaven watching over all of us now , but we will still miss him terribly. To Amy and the children, I can't find the words to tell you how beloved you were. You were the light of his life and I know all of this has been so difficult for you but please know that you are in all of our prayers, just as he was. Amy, he wanted us to meet in therapy but alas that was not to be when that horrid disease hit him. May you be so proud to have had him as a husband and father for he was truly the kindest, most gentle representative of Gods healing power on this earth. All of you will be in my prayers, as he was, and I know he is looking down from above sending his love and powerful faith to all of us. May God Bless each of you in this sad time.

In 2004 Dr. Landreneau did my first of two brain surgeries. He was an amazing doctor. I used to tell my family "I wish he could be my everything doctor". More than a great doctor he was a wonderful human being. He always comforted me and said to let him do the worrying for me and live my life. Though I never met his family anyone who was a patient got to know them through all the wonderful photographs in the exam rooms... I am terribly sorry for the loss and grief that they are feeling right now. His family was his pride and joy, I do know that much about them. My thoughts and prayers will be with them all. It is a sad day as the world has lost a beautiful soul, amazing doctor and a man who cared about everyone more than he did himself. You will be missed and I am thankful for the time that I got to know you and be under your care. God Bless you!!!

Rest in peace Doc

November 10, 2011

Dr. Landreneau became my doctor in 2000 and up until his leave, remained my doctor. There was no other man like him. He took so much care with me and so many others. I would sit in the waiting room laughing at so many who didn't know of his love for his patients because they would get mad at having to wait over an hour or longer to see him. Little did they know that he took all that extra time with all his patients, showed them how much he cared and wanted to help them. He operated on me twice and both times prayed over me before each operation. And of course we all know he wore those cowboy boots into surgery... it gave us all a laugh. I will miss him more than anyone can imagine.. he always told me he would continue researhing to find what it would take to fix my problem... well "Doc" I guess you are now in the best place to watch over me and find that fix...

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and pray they find comfort that he is now "operating" beside God..

To the Landreneau family, Five years ago when we met Dr. Landreneau in the emergency room we knew we had met someone special. When he saw me crying right before my husband was to go into surgery he took a moment to hold my hands and reassure me. He preformed surgery on my husband then and again in January 2011. Our prayers go out to you in your time of loss know that Heaven has gained.

The way he loved and lived his life in his short time on this earth will be remembered by everyone who had the opportunity to know him. He became my doctor in 1999 and was my doctor and my husband's doctor until he became ill this year. He was like a part of our family and we shared many stories together during our visits. Amy, our thoughts and prayers are with you, the children and the Landreneau family. I know he's smiling and watching over all of you from his Heavenly Home.

To the family of Dr. Landreneau, may God wrap his arms around you during this time. May the memories give you comfort. He was a great man & a great doctor. I am blessed to say that I worked with him & will always miss the sound of his missing boots for when he came around the hall. He will be greatly missed.

We say goodbye to a great man, a husband, a father, a brother, an uncle, a friend, and an amazing yet talented Neurosurgeon.  A man who always had a smile on his face. A man who touched so many lives.  He is singing and able to bow at the throne of the Lord Almighty. We all will greatly miss you. We always knew when you were coming down the halls because of those cowboy boots you always wore; one side of your scrub pants tucked in the boot and the other scrub pant leg over the boot!  Even though our hearts ache - you are better off than any of us. We love you !~

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you..Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." For peace in your sorrow: I can't make things easier, but I will pray. I can't walk your path, but I'll walk beside you. May God comfort you each day, comfort your heart, and bless you with endearing memories that your heart will always treasure.  My sincere condolences.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this very difficult time. I was a patient of Dr. Landraneau in 2007. I was very nervous prior to surgery until this "Man of God" leaned over and began to pray. It was then I realized that I was in the hands of a man who was God sent. K. Bates, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I was aware almost instantly during the first visit I had with Dr. Landrieu that I was standing with a man with an open heart of love. His questions and concern for my well-being and my family was followed by several stories and a prayer. We shared personal life stories regarding our ruptured Achilles tendon while I was in Rome. He shared his love for his family and L.S.U and life –every aspect of it. There was an occasion we both shed tears over a most unfortunate child he was treating. I saw a man with a heart of HIS Savior and hands that he said were directed by his God. Prior to my surgery our praying together relieved my of any fears I had that morning.
When my wife informed me of his departure from this life I took a few minutes to revisit my appointments with him and ask our Lord to make his story move all those who are in the healing profession see what simple acts of kindness can bring; not only to the provider, but to his patient. I always felt I healed so quickly because of his encouragement and trust in God. I will truly miss this gentle giant of God. My prayers, Sunday Mass will be for his family and especially his wife and children. I feel like now I can ask Fraser to pray for me…
