“Today I rise to honor and celebrate the life of Dr. Ambrous Oliver Findley, Jr., affectionately known as ``Butch,'' who recently passed and is survived by his loving wife, Wanda, and his children, grandchildren, sister, nephews, and dear friends. Butch's life was filled with tremendous acts of service. After obtaining a bachelor's in psychology from the University of South Florida, Butch's commitment to the well-being of others led him to the U.S. Navy where he selflessly served as a hospital corpsman. A man of diverse talents and interests, Butch then returned to the University of South Florida and obtained a bachelor's in biology and premed. Butch's devotion to the medical profession later led him to attend the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and complete his residency at the General Hospital in Pinellas Park, Florida. After this pivotal chapter, Butch once again answered the call of duty, this time as a physician in the United States Army where he served at the rank of captain in Fort Stewart, Georgia. For 42 years, Butch then dedicated himself to the well-being of Georgians in Rabun County, leaving an indelible mark on the northeast Georgia community that he served--first at Ridgecrest Hospital and later at MedLink Rabun. He was not merely a physician; he was a beacon of hope and healing, touching countless lives. Beyond the stethoscope, Butch reveled in the simple joys of life.…”
