I’m not sure what to say , nothing I say will make it better. I’m so sorry . The only comfort I have is that Uncle Doug is with my dad( Uncle Mike) in heaven, drinking a beer .
Love to all of you

Dear Aunt Sue, Casey, Cara and Jared,
Words cannot express how deeply sadden I am. I keep hearing his voice saying “Hey Kid” along with his smile. His passing is such a loss for all of us who loved him. I’m so sorry for the heartbreak you are all going through. He loved you all so much and just lit up when he talked about all of you and his grandchildren. He sure did love his grandchildren, always smiled when he talked about them! The best papaw ever! I loved him like a brother and will forever cherish the memories. We had a lot of fun in our younger years. I find comfort in knowing he’s with family in heaven. I know how much he missed Uncle Mike. Well, they are together again and no doubt drinking a beer! We were all blessed to have Doug in our lives, what a wonderful gift from God. With time peace will come when you can share memories of his life with few tears. Love you all, you are in my prayers always.
Sue

He had is Mercury Cougar that he just loved more than anything at the time. He had named it Max I was Karen Wiles at the time and we lived on south st rd 19 so he was {up the road from me. I am so sorry to find out he passed away God bless his family and friends and find peace in knowing he sure could bring a smile to us.
Extremely a nice guy that I knew from his work as a mechanic. A good teacher and explainer to put my engine issues into laymen’s terms. A very kind man and I am sorry for your loss at a young age.
