My son was in Mr. Gilliam's class this year. He really enjoyed him for the short time he was his teacher. The class hasn't been the same since he left but it was a pleasure to have such a nice influential black male role model for him to meet. I know he will not ever forget Mr. Gilliam.

My sincere condolences to the Gilliam family in the loss of a great Man of God! Though he will be missed, we are the better because of Doug's presence...

Our son Noah was in Mr.G's 1st grade class,even though he had to leave for part of the year,Noah as well as the rest of the class could not wait for him to come back!Noah could not wait every year to go see him at open house!!What a impact he made in our childs life!He will be truly missed!We are praying for you and your family!!!The Sechrist's

I grew up with Douglas. He was truly a genuine person that personified the definition of perseverance. He remained steadfast, upright, and circumspect until the end. To take a line from the poem "Invictus", he never winced nor cried aloud. Doug, I love you my brother and will miss your presence on this journey we call life.

I didn't know Douglas very well, but he seemed to be a humble and quiet person. He seemed to have a good spirit about him. I am sorry for the Gilliam family, because they have lost someone so precious to them. He will be forever remembered here on earth. RIP in Douglas you are with the Father now, forever safe, forever young!

the WSSU family will miss 'Bertie'...I pray that you find comfort in knowing that not one moment of Doug's life was lived in vain. He was a phenomenal man who touched ALL that knew him.

I am so sorry to hear Douglas passing. I went to school with him in Bertie County. I also worked with Douglas at a local video store at home in Windsor,NC for years while we were in college. I am overcome with grief because I knew you so well and I know you family has loss a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
