We were so blessed to have you as a part of our family if only for a short while. You never hesitated to offer a helping hand when we needed it. We loved you're sense of humor and beautiful smile. I know you couldn't wait to go hunting and fishing in Heaven. To all the loved ones left behind, we know Doug left many beautiful memories to make you smile.
Love, Bob and Mary Smith

I am very sorry for your loss. I knew Doug through his sister, my close friend and "second mother" - Kelly. I actually saw him again recently (July 4th in fact) and thought only to myself how handsome and sweet he is. He carried my bags to the car even though I could manage since I was walking out as he was walking in. He did the perfect and gentleman thing to do; he carried the bags, said hello & nice to see you again, gave a big smile and hugged me goodbye. I did not know him well, just a few meetings at holidays and a few run-ins here and there visiting the family; however I am very aware that a good heart has stopped beating and a good soul ascended to heaven.
Much Love and Sincere Sorrow to the Family

Doug seemed to have this thoughtfulness towards children he was around or knew. He just wanted them to be happy. I can still see the love and kindness in his face when he was around Emily. Just recently giving her a hug good-bye saying love you baby girl.
I'm especially grateful for the love, support and encouragement he had for my grandson, Spencer.
He will be missed.
Many blessings to all whose lives were touched by Doug.
May he Rest In Peace

I believe you were 8 or 9 years old, when we moved on the block? I remember seeing this small kid out playing in the street. You had a big ol' smile on your face always. As my brother Mark said, our best memories are growing up on Viking with the Chandlers. Dougger - you will be missed so much, but I know you are in Heaven as you were an Angel on this Earth. Some didn't know you that way, but I (we) did. Love you always Doug. Rest in Peace our friend.

We were "River Rats" for 25 years and I miss the river, now we have lost you. Just too much to handle. You were my son from another Mother. I will hold all the fun times we spent together in my thoughts forever. All my prayers to your family and all your many friends. God be with you Chandler.

My heart love and prayers go out to Doug's family during this difficult time. I had the pleasure of growing up next door to Doug and it would take me all day to tell you about the hunting, fishing and stupid things we did. I'm having a very difficult time with this because we really were like family. God Speed Doug, your laughter smile and sense of humor will be missed by all. Love You my little brother.

I believe, my friend, you may have lived life to the fullest more than anyone else I've known. Let that be a lesson to those of us who remain. May your soul soar freely and your heart delight with joy in your new realm. I will always reflect fondly on your smile and laughter, and your genuine spirit.
Until we meet again, my friend ❣
