It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our founder, Dr. Michael B. Sigman. He passed peacefully at his home in Mansfield, Georgia on May 14th, surrounded by his family.
Dr. Sigman was a graduate of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine Class of 1975. Initially, he practiced veterinary medicine out of a home that he rented at Green Valley Farm. Dr. Sigman and his wife Catharine built the current clinic on Highway 142 in late 1979, and he practiced veterinary medicine here for over 40 years. He retired in October of 2019, after selling his practice to his associate veterinarian, and Covington native, Dr. Tricia Suttles.
Dr. Sigman was a friend and mentor to us at Sigman Vet Clinic, and we will do our best to honor his legacy and uphold his principles. He was so patient with Dr. Suttles when she graduated from vet school and needed guidance. He was a role model to the staff for being the hardest worker and having the best attitude. He never let an animal suffer, no matter the owner’s finances. His April Fools jokes usually fell flat, but that didn’t stop him from trying to fool us every single year! His farm call assistants knew that they could always count on a Wendy’s frosty or coke and candy bar when riding around in his truck. He was generous to a fault and bought breakfast or lunch for the staff all the time.
Dr. Sigman was so well loved by his clients and was well-respected in the community. He was not afraid to work on any animal, and was always available, day or night. He had a special kind of intuition regarding animals and their sicknesses or pain, and could often tell what was wrong after a short exam.
He was a Georgia Bulldogs fan through and through and would get choked up when the trumpet played at the beginning of every football game. He had season tickets to games and rarely missed a home game.
Please help us honor his memory by sharing a fond memory. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a passion for animals. He is going to be so incredibly missed, but his presence will always be felt.
At this time, please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
