Douglas Boter Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 30, 2023.
We are saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Douglas "Doug" Albert Boter on March 23, 2023 at his home in Cadet, Missouri. He was born in Dallas, Texas to Albert Boter and Sandra Lain Richardson. A proud Texan that never let anyone forget it. Doug was a free spirit who lived his authentic life and loved everyone. Author of the published book, "The Guru Delivery", Doug expressed himself writing poetry, and with a great sense of humor, enjoyed corny jokes. Doug loved his family, especially his father, who was his best friend. He experienced many adventures seeing much of the US through his work travels. Doug is a gentle soul who never met a stranger. He volunteered his time to help those in need in hospice care.

Doug is survived by his parents, Albert (Myriam) Boter and Sandra Lain Richardson. His children, Khristopher (Margie) Boter, Matthew Boter, and Alexandra Upton. His grandsons, Mason and Elijah. His sisters, Juliana (Paul) Hehir, Teresa (German) Canola, and Adriana Quevado Boter. His girlfriend, Angie Bridgewater, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Doug will be missed by all.

"Love your people a little harder, check on each other, don't stay mad, and know you are never truly alone."

I was deeply saddened to learn about Doug´s passing. Doug and I were friends during our ninth-grade high school days. He invited me to his home and shared his passion for American rock music. Since neither of us could drive, we used to walk around the neighborhood, talking and simply enjoying each other´s company. What stands out the most in my memory about him is his unwavering kindness. I will always cherish that memory of him.

I only knew you for a short time, but I gained an incredible amount of wisdom from your grace. The world just got a little more dim but I am sure, wherever you may... be is much brighter.

If memory serves me correct, Julie and I became friends around the age of 4 growing up in Dallas, which is when I also met Doug - Julie´s big brother. He always had a great sense of humor and would sometimes play pranks on us. Many years later as a teen, he typed up a poetry book and handed out copies. He had a gift for words.

Fast forward, while he was passing through Denver truck driving, which is where I have lived since 2002, we made arrangements to hang out and catch up. We reminisced about our childhood and caught up on our lives as adults.

That was the last time I saw him. :-(

My heart breaks for his choice and I never saw this coming, as I´m sure no one else did. While this may never make sense, know that there are people close and far that love and cherish the family and have nothing condolences to send.

Doug was such a sweet man! He was smart with his words. I will never forget our conversation about him publishing his book! He was so proud of his success in writing! He loved picking up his clients when he drove Uber and the people loved him! Doug I will always remember your sweet smile and soft spoken to so many! God Bless you and I pray you are in the comfort of Jesus arms! You will be missed! Beverly Beseda

Very sad to hear my cousin passed away. Although we met only once, sometime in the seventies when we were both kids and he was visiting his family in the Netherlands, I have a clear memory of him.
He was my big cousin from the States!

I wish all his friends and family the best with this sad loss.

With love,
Jasper
