Doug passed away peacefully, in his home, November 20th. He had worked at Enka for 20 years, then Old Dominion Freight Line, until retiring in 2015. He was a Mason that loved fishing & riding his Harley. He was blessed with a large, loving family and so many friends.

Doug was preceded in death by parents Mary Providence and Howard Thomas Jarnigan, brother Howard Thomas Jarnigan Jr., daughter Paula Cruze.

Doug had a larger than life personality & was always making others laugh. He had the best stories to share.

The family will be having a Celebration of Life (potluck) on Saturday, November 26, 2022 between 11 & 4 at the Field of Dreams (brown building with parking in gravel) The Mason's will be performing a small ceremony at 1.

In so very shocked and sad that this wonderful guy won't be there to make me laugh every sinelw day. I never saw him angry, mad or upset in all the years I knew him. He was nothing but a shining light, always smiling. Lit up the whole day just to be around him and hear his stories made us all so happy. I'm going to miss you my dear Doug. They broke the mold buddy. I will see you again. I can't wait.
