Just finding out. Doug will be dearly missed. My son, Aj, played some baseball for Coach Doug. He was/is our favorite Coach. Always positive, teaching kids the right way. Our time coaching together was short, but he left a big impression. Condolences to family and friends.

Our family can't begin to put into words what we feel about Coach Doug. We were shocked and devastated when we heard of his passing. We only wish we had known before hand to offer any help we could to your precious family. There can not be a person that Doug has ever met that is not affected, and deeply saddened by his passing. He was absolutely the nicest guy our family has ever met! Doug definitely made an impact in our son's life that he will never ever forget. Coach Doug has also impacted countless other lives through his dedication to help teach and guide young atletetes to not only be the best atletetes they could be, but to be the best person they could be at the same time. We send our prayers and deepest condolences to your family. We will always love, and will never forget you Coach Doug!

Love,
The Olson Family
