In Loving Memory of Arlo Orion Starr
October 21, 1979 – September 16, 2020
Arlo walked the medicine path following the ways of the holy. He always wanted to bless others with his life, his medicine, his language, his kind eyes, and his tender heart. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone and everyone around him.
As a Nationally Certified Diplomate and Licensed Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Arlo's gifts extended far. His specialties — addictions, trauma, dermatology, pain management, herbal medicine, and pediatrics — touched patients locally and communities internationally. He brought wisdom, empowered people through medicine, culture, and indigenous language, and inspired many to take responsibility for their mental, physical, and emotional health. This was his passion and his prayer.
While our community has lost a medicine person, we gained a legacy of love by knowing him. Arlo, your smiles, your laughter, and your courage live on in all of us. Your hands of sacred, compassionate healing can never be replaced — but your teachings will forever be medicine for those you loved and served.
Thank you, Arlo Starr, for your teachings, your healings, your friendship, your LOVE! We are honored to have shared this path with you — in medicine, in family, and in life. Gvgeyu'i
