What a loss to the community of Destin and South Walton. He was our family physician for 30 years. I am still in shock, I love to go see him and laugh at his off the wall humor. He was kind, smart, funny and a great person to call my friend. My thoughts are with his family.

Good People Sometimes Leave Us Too Soon
My sister, daughter, granddaughter, and I have been patients of Dr. Causton's for over two decades. He was our trusted, kindly physician who actually listened to us before evaluating and advising. We respected his medical knowledge and his unhurried attention to our office visits. We appreciated his wit and his enjoyment of engaging us in verbal games of both logic and fancy. He was a healer. He was a generous spirit.

Dr Causton- Rest in Peace
My family and I were devastated over the loss of our family physician, Dr. Causton. He was the only doctor that I knew of that actually cared enough to get to know you as a person. I felt liked I could tell him anything and I was never judged. He was a passionate, caring person. I had just seen him a couple of weeks ago and he was so proud of his new grand-daughter. I am still in shock. It is a shame. Rest in Peace, Doc.

I lost a very close friend
I lost a very close friend this week of 26 years. Ron and I became friends two weeks after he arrived in the Destin area and have continued our friendship. It was just two weeks ago, we were talking about Christmas, and how excited he was to have the opportunity to spend Christmas with his two new grandchildren.
Most of you know him as the doctor of South Walton, but he was an individual also. He had the same kind of interest. He loved automobiles, motorcycles, boating things that went fast. We also had many other interest for one each year the Super Bowl. Over the past 26 years we have celebrated and cheered our teams on this year will be lonely without him by my side rooting for the teams and the commercials. (We both loved the commercials.)
As a physician, he worried about all his patients and had a bedside manner that could not be reproduced by any other. The one thing that I admired about Ron is that his patients always came first and if the patient needed care and could not afford to pay, he never turned them away.
The area has lost a very caringly individual, and I personally will miss my best friend.

Thanks DestinPhil for letting Dr. Johns office know. I have been so devestated this week I forgot to call them. Dr. C always said that Dr. Johns was the person he always sought out to sit by at lectures, luncheons, etc. because Dr. Johns always shared good stories with him. Dr. C sent us to him a number of years ago and we love him too! He is such a kind man with a great staff too!
The Memorial was very casual. I got to see his precious granddaughters and meet some others close to him. Dodie was there sitting with his family. She was his nurse for so long I don't even know how many years and she was very special to Dr. C. She had moved to Texas a few years back to be with her family and was always missed.
I will be a better person for having known him. 
Thank you Dr. C for taking such great care of me. I hope I made you laugh half as much as you made me laugh!Special prayers to Evonne and Debbie...love you much! Let me know if I can do anythin for you.
Sounds like I missed the opportunity to know a very special person. My sympathies to all of you, and thoughts and prayers as well.
Daniel Edwards and Dr. Causton
Hi I worked for Dr. Causton. I just want to say thank you to every one for all the nice things that were said about him and thank you to all the people that came to his memorial service. My heart goes out to Fritz Edwards family at this time of sorrow. Fritz was a very nice man and will be missed. The family is going to set up a trust fund.

Thanks for all your care!
Thanks for all the years you were so kind to me at Dr. C's office. There was never a time when I wasn't glad I was coming for a visit. It was so important what he did for his patients, but without you girls up front I don't know how he could have managed. Now I wonder how I will manage. Almost 20 years is a long time to see one Doctor and he carried a lot of my baggage for me. It's hard to let go of someone that you relied on and never let you down. Bless you all and let me know if I can help in any way.
