DOUGLAS M. CHRISTIE

Miss you, buddy!

To Doug's Family, Julie, and Children, During a visit to state college I learned of your loss. I have many fond memories of Doug when he first met Julie when we were all in school together at PSU. I'm sorry for your loss. - Margaret

Doug was such a kind soul. He was really a spectacular person. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with his family. May God bless you with his comfort and healing in these difficult times.

Dear Mrs. Christie,
I had the pleasure of knowing Doug in the 1980s when he and I both worked at the Athlete's Foot store at South Hills Village.
I, like everyone else, immediately took to Doug because he was a truly nice, honest, and upstanding guy.
I can truthfully say that I thought of Doug many times over the years, and I can still see his smile and hear his chuckle.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
God bless you,
Mike Lacy

Not only did Doug always have a smile on his face but you couldn't help but smile and laugh right along with him. I have memories that will last a lifetime of a friend that meant a lot to me.

Oh my. I am so sorry to hear about Doug. We've been playing phone tag since Christmas and I guess that phone call will never get completed. Doug was a caring and thoughtful man who was proud of his children and tried his best to help those around him.I know him from his early years at Falcon Camp and while we lost touch over our adult years, in the past several years we had reconnected and I enjoyed our conversations. Best thoughts and prayers to all of Doug's family from all of us at Falcon.

Doug was a great guy. He had his struggles --don't we all? -- and he definitely was devoted to his kids and treasured being able to attend their sports events. He visited me in the nursing home many times in 2008 while I was recovering from a motorcycle crash. We often talked about job possibilities at the development office at the university, and he could put on the suit and look like a top notch executive.

I was delighted to run into him at the car dealership a few years ago, responding to some premium they'd mailed out where I could win a car. I didn't win anything, but it was a slow day, and we sat around with co-workers and shot the breeze for more than an hour simply catching up. There just aren't that many people who you're genuinely glad to run into, who are genuinely glad to see you, and time just flows pleasantly and naturally. That was a gift that Doug had, and am honored that he shared it with me.

I was really saddened to learn of his passing. I wish I were able to attend services on Washington Road. I'll be thinking of him a lot Saturday, and fondly always. Vaya con Dios, Doug, and blessings to your family and friends.

Such sad news for such a vibrant family. Mary Lou, I can clearly remember, my friend, how often you said Doug's name and told a story about him when we taught together at Lincoln. He has your twinkle in his eye that comes from enjoying life, helping others, and loving well.
Call me anytime-day or night- to talk.

May God warm the hearts of Doug's loved ones through this difficult time... We will always lose the ones we love but we will never forget the memories we have of them.

Doug My Brother and Friend Whom I Have Known Most of My Life I Will Miss You Always. John

I am so saddened to hear of Doug's passing. He was a great friend. I met Doug on the first day he moved into our neighborhood when we were in grade school. He was very kind, and his big smile was infectious. I'll always cherish the memories I have of him growing up. Rest in Peace Doug.

So sorry to hear this news. You were a great neighbor and friend growing up together in USC and always had a kind word. I remember you John and Derrick always palling around and how good you were on the neighborhood trampoline. You will be missed by all. Always loved, missed by all but never forgoton. Rest in peace my friend.

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Please find comfort in the words found at Hosea 13:14. Diane.

We met Doug through the dealership. The moment we met him we felt comfortable. His laugh and smile infectious. We don't know many details of Doug's life but we know some very important facts. He was a kind man, someone you could trust. A man who loved his children. A good man. RIP

I am proud to have known and worked with you.
.....Miss you Dougie Fresh!!

We were so sorry to hearabout Doug. Also sorry we never were able to meet him. Felt we knew him just from hearing about him from you, Mary Lou. A wonderful person. Our sympathy, Paul and Marcie

When we lose a loved one, they become a memory. Then the memory becomes a treasure. Hold on to those treasures of your loved one, they will help you during these difficult times. Isa.41:10

So sad. Such a nice guy.

I will never forget your incredible humor and the fun times we had working together at Xerox. You will be missed my friend.

The Christie's were one of the first families we met when we moved to State College. Their generosity and friendliness is a testament of how Doug lived and influenced others. We are saddened by this news and want to offer our support the same certain way the Christie's would offer for us.
God Bless Doug and his family. -Blonski family

I will always love you like a brother, my friend. You are in the Lord's hands now. May you enjoy His sight forever.
- Derek

Isaiah25:8 tells us he God will swallow up death forever Please find comfort in these words.

I will always love you like a brother, my friend. You are in the Lord's hands now. May you enjoy His sight forever.

Rest in Peace...

Doug was a very caring person who touched many people. He always made you feel special and was sincerly interested in what was going on in your life. He was alway a positve influence and never had a negative thing to say about anyone. You will be missed "My Friend"!

I will miss Doug more than I can express...his warmth,his kindness and soulfulness. He was a true gentleman of a kind that is very rare these days. Many blessings to his family.
