I want to thank his family for sharing him with his patients. Years ago he  fixed my knee and I haven’t had trouble with it since. He also helped my husband multiple times. So sorry to see he passed away! 

As I was searching the internet for information about total knee replacement, I was reminded of Dr. Cannon, my knee doctor when I still lived in TX.  To my surprise, I found this page about his passing. 

I started having knee issues in my late teens, having much older knees than my actual age.  He always knew the exact treatment that I needed, even though things weren't always covered by insurance, and reminded me to always push for the care I need.  Over the course of 15 years, he performed 3 surgeries on my knees and told me that I would definitely require a knee replacement when I got older.  Now in my mid-40s, living in MD, and finally embarking on this final phase of knee treatment, I remember Dr. Cannon and his steadfast care and efficient treatment of my knee problems.

Dear Dr. Cannon,

For 20 years you were the best of the best doctors I could have ever hoped for.  I brought my little kids to you when they had any breaks or sprains,  and when my son was walking a bit odd, I brought him to you.  You operated on me numerous times, and every time the surgeries repaired my issues.  No matter how busy you were, and you were often running from patient to patient, you made time to truly listen to my concerns.  I always knew I was safe in your hands. 
Always.  You were a gift to this world.  Thank you for being my doctor.  I will never forget you, and I am forever grateful.  Thank you.  May God Bless you  and your family ever so.....  Denise Wade and Family 

I am only just learning of Dr. Cannon's passing.  I worked as a medical transcriptionist for Dr. Cannon from 96-98.  It was my first professional position and one with fond, deep rooted memories. I've lived in TW 20 years and every single time I drive by TWSMC I still reminisce on my time there. He was such a kind, sweet person to work for. I can still hear his voice, "Diagnostic impression: The patient comes in today with...." Thank you Dr. Cannon for the memories and for giving me my start. I will always hold them in my heart. 

Sorry this is so late as I just learned of Dr. Cannon's passing.  I will forever be grateful to him for all the relief he gave me with my lifelong knee problems.  I had several dealings with him over the years and he was absolutely one of my favorite doctors.  I'm so saddened for your loss of a great man.

My bother Carl was a great man.  A good son, brother, husband, father and grandfather.  Loosing our father at an early age, Carl never got to know him, but our mom, he and I had good years together in Raymondville in South Texas.  Many a time mom would pack of the car and we would head out for a destination across the country, just the three of us.  Literally from one coast to the other. 
 There are so many good stories to remember and I can say to his children, grandchildren and generations to come that he wanted only the best for everyone and for all of us to move forward with the philosophy of living every moment of life to the fullest.  Love ya brother.

As all of those who have written, there are no sufficient words to describe a person, such as Carl Cannon.  He was so "real" what you saw, you got!  He caused me to respect him so, so much. I worked for him for years. He helped lay the foundation, which took me to heights of medicine, I'd have never thought. His devotion to his wife, Lisa, was next to none !!!!!!!!!!  Not too long prior to his going to be with the Lord, I shared photos of him, taken for his "over the hill" party at age 37!  Sheesh....it was held at the building where he practiced.  I will ALWAYS miss him. He took care of all my family with orthopedic injuries. Praise God, he is with the Lord, and we WILL see him again! NO DOUBT!!!

you are an amazing doctor and person and will be missed! I will never forget how you came in after hours to do surgery on my arm when I broke it in a riding accident!! Prayers to your family.

Lisa and family:

My sincere condolences to you and your family during these times.    Carl meant so many things to so many people he touched and knew in his wonderful life with you and your family.   His free spirit and kindness was felt by all who he blessed with his acquaintance and friendship.    Carl's work and knowledge in the medical profession was exemplary and his patients benefited greatly for it.
For me, I enjoyed all the hunting and outdoor stories we could share, along with the great dining experiences.   
Although we will all  have great memories of Carl, we can trust that he is serving the Lord now with all of his wonderful attributes.

With great admiration,  may God bless you all...……

We are saddened by the loss of our new friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I've known Carl since high school in good ole Raymondville.  He was always smiling and was a kind person.  I knew he was smart but he never "acted" like it or pulled an attitude.  A person like that was/is/will always be admired.  He was a genuinely good person and I will be in prayer for his family as they walk through this sad, sad time.

I knew Carl from a very young age in his hometown of Raymondville. Carl was so extroverted and intelligent as a little boy that he could out-think many adults. I remember how much fun he was to be around. My mother and Carl's mother were good friends, and they would put Carl and me in the backseat of a car to ride out through the(King) Ranch to take necessary supplies out to Gus's Boy Scout troop. 
I am proud of all he accomplished in his life, and my condolences go out to his wife, children, grandchildren, and Gus.

I grew up with Carl in Raymondville when life was so much simpler. Often times I found myself at Carl’s house listening to his band (The Pleasure Seekers). Carl was the drummer, and boy could he play those sticks!  Others in his band were Mark Dickerson, Jimmy Goss & Carlton Wertz. They won the 8th grade talent show, where a couple of other girls and I wore white Go-Go boots and danced while they played. What fun memories we made!
Carl always had a big smile on his face and was such an encourager.  
What wonderful accomplishments Carl achieve d in his lifetime.  He was surrounded by a beautiful family,  a loving church family and patients and co-workers that admired  and loved him. 
He will be greatly missed but remain in our hearts and memories forever. 
We will see him again one day in our Heavenly home. 
Sending my heartfelt thoughts and prayers to all his family and friends.  
Lovingly, Patti Dru Brinkley Schlessiger

We will miss Dr. Cannon. He was our family orthopedic doctor. We started seeing him while our sons were in high school in the early 90’s. My husband and I continued to see him until he retired in January. God bless and comfort his family as I know they will miss him greatly! Rest In Peace Dr. Cannon 🙏

Lisa, Lennea, Krysta, Ali and Brittany, I am devastated by the loss of Dr. Cannon.  He was my friend for nearly 40 years.  When we started working together in 1983 ( I think) at the Houston County Hospital, I would take extra call so that I could work with him.  He taught me so much and was always willing to take a few extra minutes to make sure I always got it right.  LOL.  Anyway, lots and lots of memories. I send my prayers and deepest condolences and......
    My love to you all, Earlynne

I first meet Dr. Cannon  before he opened his own practice. He was having difficulty getting out of his contact where he was working.  I was instrumental in getting signatures on petitions to release him from his contact, so he could open up his own practice. I was also one of the first patients to visit him when he opened that office. 
He was a special man, a talented doctor & surgery  and a great friend.
I've was lucky to have known him for  over 35 years. 
Rest in Peace Carl. You will truly be missed. 


Lisa so sorry to hear about the passing of Carl.  You and your girls will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dr Cannon was the first Orthopedic surgeon I felt really cared about me. He listened intently and made you fell like you were his only patient. He will be truly be missed. 

I KNEW CARL AS GUS’S LITTLE BROTHER ; SPENT MANY DAYS AT THE CANNON’S WITH GUS ,CARL,AND ALPHA. CARL GREW INTO A FINE MAN, ,DOCTOR , FATHER AND SERVANT OF HIS LORD . 
MAY GOD TAKE HIS SERVANT INTO HIS ARMS AND COMFORT HIS FAMILY . 
HE WILL FOREVER BE IN OUR MEMORIES , AND ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS .

So sorry to hear of Carl’s passing.  Many memories of high school days.  Condolences to his family. 

Margaret and Frank Obregon. 

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.  I remember Carl as a happy go lucky young man, always had a smile on him.  He will truly be missed.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. Carl graduated from high school with me. We then went to the same college.  I was an Alpha Tau Omega little sister for the fraternity that  he was actively involved with. We had lots of laughs and fun times.  Carl was such a bright man. Did I say he was fun? 
I haven’t really spoken or seen him in years. 
Please keep those fond memories tucked in your heart. May they bring comfort on those dark days ahead. 
Rest In Peace, my friend. 
Debra 

Gus,   Your Family was big  part of my life growing up and though I haven’t seen y’all in many years it breaks my heart to hear of Carl’s passing.  My deepest condolences for you and the entire Cannon family.  Prayers for you.  Cherish the laughter and memories.  

Growing up in Raymondville, we had many great times and lots of memories.   He was one of the finest people I had the pleasure of knowing.   He will be truly missed!!!!

Lisa, and girls, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Carl! He was a great person to work for! I'm glad I had the opportunity to work at the ranch and meet you all and watch you girls grow up! As he would say CHEERS!

What a tremendous loss for our entire community.  We will never forget all the wonderful memories Lisa and Carl spearheaded when Lisa was President of The Grogan’s Point Resident’s Association.  Together they were very active in leadership positions for so many nonprofit groups and volunteer service organizations. We were blessed to have his expertise, his compassion, and his vision. He definitely made a big footprint on The Woodlands and we are all better off as a home town because of Carl!

Lisa, very sorry to hear this news.   Prayers for you and the girls in the days ahead.   Debra Jordan

Rest in Heaven peacefully Dr. Cannon. Your footprint in the community will never be forgotten. Many prayers up for all family and friends. God Bless.

Lisa, Brittany and Alli and family,
David and I are devastated to hear of Carl’s passing. We are so sorry for your loss! For thirty years he was a friend and doctor who worked my mother into a 12hr surgical day to fix her elbow, fixed me and David fell under his magic hands spell for the past ten years! RIP, my friend and may your memory be eternal!

Lisa I send my sincere condolences.  Ill never forget those early days.  He meant the world to me.   He gave me my start in Orthopedics.   He taught me everything I know.  He was an example of everything I strive to be.   Thank you Doc for all the memories I carry with me.  Rest in Peace my friend.
