Douglas WESTFALL

Doug and his family joined our church in Wheaton when I was a young pastor trying to help a small church on the outskirts of town grow into a strong, healthy community of young families and established members. Doug, Kathy and their kids helped to make that happen. He said he joined the church because he drove past one day, close to Christmas, and this enormous evergreen tree was pitifully decorated with about four strands of lights. Doug said he decided, "that poor church really needs help....

I have often thought about Doug and his family. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. He was a huge influence growing up. I remember babysitting his children in Spfld. My deepest and sincere condolences to his family.

I´m just learning of Doug´s transition from this life to the next and to say that I´m heartbroken is an understatement. Doug and I were in chaplain training together here in Florida. He had the best sense of humor and we laughed together often. He and my husband often laughed together as well. My husband passed in July of last year and now I think of he and Doug sitting somewhere in a corner making some mischief! May God bless Doug´s family and friends with everything that they need. ...

Doug, I have so many memories of us laughing, crying or just sitting side by side not saying a word. We would come in and out of each other's lives but we always knew one of us would answer the phone just to say how are you! Think of you today and every day! Love you Dougy, Jan

Very sad to hear of Doug's passing. We are very grateful that he was able to preside over our marriage. The Westfall family is in our prayers. Aaron and Melisa Ray

Chaplain Doug provided spiritual guidance for our family when my daughter Jenna passed 3 years ago and recently for my daughter Sara in October. He had a way of providing strength through humor making a difficult situation brighter. Taking a moment to celebrate Doug´s life and all he did for many other families. He will be missed

My deepest condolences to the Westfall Family for the loss of your loved one, Douglas Alan, and pray God fills your hearts with comfort, peace and strength during this difficult time.

I am so sadden to hear Chaplain Doug passing on I had the pleasure of working with him at Suncoast Empath Health Hospice. He always had a smiling face and always made me laugh. He helped me through hard times in my life and gave me hope. May you all have Peace and Greatness of Chaplain Doug. And think of all the great times together. He is truly missed. Soultana
