Douglas Lee Stufflebeam

Thank you Doug for implanting the "funhogging" spirit in me and probably most everyone lucky enough to be led by you anywhere would say the same. I think back to the Ecuador trip of 94' and there are lots of vivid memories but the most clear memory I have is of Doug's never ending energy and gusto for life and travel. It was a life changing experience. Thanks Doug for opening the door to a whole other way of life. Peace, Love, and Happiness to to you Doug and all the wonderful people he...

Doug you took me on my first life adventure and opened my eyes to the world. I found you on campus at UW handing out flyers with crazy talk about Ecuador. 1994 was a year I will never forget- traveling dirt bags in the Amazon basin, living with Cofan Indians, exploring the Americas, summit mountains on foot and on bike. You impacted my life in such a positive way I will never forget and will always be grateful. Just wish I could have told you in person. To the family: I never stopped talking...

My sympathies are offered on your loss. During this difficult time may you "Draw close to God and he will draw close to you". James 4:8

I remember Doug as an undersized, hardworking quarterback for the Vinton Vikings football team. He was a hard worker but always had a great smile. He loved people and he loved to compete. He was a friend. Rest in peace, Doug.

Continue your travels Doug. You touched the lives of many and shared so much along the way. Memories of joy, love and laughter to your family.

Dear Kris, My memories of living with you and Doug in Fremont have been rekindled. You were my wise counselor as I plunged into that career of nursing, and Doug will always be remembered as The Master Storyteller. I send you my thoughts of comfort for the loss in your life. I am grateful to have known you both. Namaste...

People always speak of Mother Nature. Well Doug was nature's crazy uncle. I can still hear him rousting us at 6am for yet another ascent of some glorious peak, "Drop your cocks and grab your socks!" "Stay thin and you might live boys!" Doug lives on in all of us. So grateful to have met him. See you at the top Stufflebeam.

Doug was one of the most integrative individuals I have met in my sixty nine years. From the first day of training in the Peace Corps we hit it off...and never stopped laughing. The extent of mourning is the tribute those of us who knew him must endure.
