Brian William Loggie, M.D.
March 24, 1954 – December 3, 2024
Brian Loggie, 70, retired Surgical Oncologist, suddenly passed away December 3, 2024.
He was born to Glenna and Frank Loggie in Bathurst, New Brunswick, trained in medicine in Montreal and Chicago, and practiced in Winston-Salem, Dallas-Fort Worth and Omaha.
Dr. Brian Loggie was a passionate, internationally recognized surgical oncologist who was drawn to making a difference in stage IV cancer patients. He pioneered the HIPEC procedure, or “heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy.” This procedure, in conjunction with his brilliant surgical skills, extended the life of hundreds of patients. He wasn’t afraid to push boundaries against recognized standards of care to create opportunities for extended life for his patients. He was an avid woodworker and made several unique pieces which he exhibited at a few trade shows.
In retirement, he and his trusty companion, Spock (a Japanese Chin) enjoyed daily walks and many road trips. Their travels ranged from going west to various hot springs, traveling to Canada to visit his mother, and visiting Indianapolis, where he attended the Indianapolis 500 mile race a few times.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, with details to be announced soon. If you are interested in information, please contact Mark Richardson at (402) 709-6692.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Dietz Memorial Methodist Church (https://www. dietzumc.org) or to PMP Pals, a volunteer peer-to-peer support group for Appendix Cancer patients that included many of Dr. Loggie’s patients (https://pmppals.net).

Brian was a scientific colleague and friend. We worked together at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He was a brilliant surgeon and scientist who dedicated his life to improving the lives of cancer patients. I fondly recall him stopping frequently by my lab to brainstorm potential research projects and innovative treatments. This bedside to bench back to bedside was a great example of collaborative cancer research. My deepest sympathies to his family. I will miss him greatly.

I was a patient of Dr. Loggie. I just read of his passing. I remember my last visit with him before his retirement as if it were yesterday. I cried and told him how much I appreciated him and all he does for his patients. He truly was an incredible surgeon.

He saved my dad’s life almost 25 years ago. When my family thought there was no hope, he took my dad on as a patient. My dad is still alive today thanks to the brilliance of Dr. Loggie.
