I only found out today about Doug's passing. I purchased a car from him on April 13, the first time I had ever met him. Such a kind sweet spirit. It was because of his kindness, I liked him. Knew he was a family man, and a man that loved God. My sympathy to his wife and kids and family. I too lost my husband 5 years ago from a heart attack. I am praying for you all.

We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the Compton family. We have been a customer of Modern Chevrolet for approximately 20 years. Doug was such a kind and friendly person. He will be missed. To his wife and daughters, I hope you find some comfort in knowing that Doug was well respected and admired by many.

Try to accept the love, kindness, and compassion of your family and friends. My heart aches for you; Lanette, Lauren, Abby, Deane, David , Aunt Helen, and all Doug's family and friends. I will be praying for all of you. Lean on God. He is the only one that is with us all the time and never leaves us.

Just always remember that even though we lose the physical person they are never truly gone. Doug's spirit is still alive and in a better place waiting to reunite with you again. When we have eternal life, as he did, we just pass from this life into the eternal life that we are given through the grace of God. Take care and may God bless all of you.

We are praying that God's comfort and peace will cover the whole family. Doug was a very special person that we enjoyed getting to know. He would always stop by to say hello when he came through Johnson City. This day and time you don't have that often so that just proves what a great man Doug was. He will greatly be missed by all but we can find comfort in knowing that we will be able to spend eternity in heaven with him.

I knew Doug well, we spent countless hours together growing up. Whether it was on the basketball court, or in the tobacco fields. You could always count on him, a truly great person. I will always remember working with Doug in that field in front of his Mom and Dad's house. The rows of tobacco were so long, by the time you finished hoeing, the weeds were already growing back. We were just a couple of boys wishing we could be anywhere else, but we passed the time talking to each other and we got through it. I treasure my time spent with Doug, I am a better person for it. Everyone who knew him is.

April 25, 2010

Please try to remember that God has a plan for us all and although it may not make since to any of us now, it will later.

We will be praying that God will provide the courage needed to get through this difficult time. If we can do anything for you please let us know.. Pam and Doug Myatt, Katelin and Kelsey Bailey.
