I worked with Doug for a number of years and knew him quite well. He was a great friend to everybody around him and was always there for me in my time of need. He was a unique person and would do anything for anybody if he could. A lot of fond memories my brother. RIP buddy, miss you dearly.

Doug was a dear friend. I did not know Doug until his senior year as we were both cadets at Waynesville Police Department. I was his best man at his first wedding and remained friends. Although we lost contact several times, we always seemed to find each other. I send my deepest sympathy to his family. He was a great friend and I always thought about him. You will be missed by all that you touched but I know one day I will be with you again. Be well my friend.

I knew Doug from working at the VA years ago. Always thought of him fondly over all the years since. I pray for peace for his family and may he rest gently with God
