Doug was a great guy. Always the nicest guy to talk to and always talked about fishing and his fishing stories. Worked with him. I'm glad I was able to go out fishing with you. Even though it was once it was a great time. You'll be missed my friend.

Doug was a very special person in our lives. We met him such a long time ago when his mom & dad first came to Chinook Pier. Doug was always the first in line to help anyone. No job was too big for him.
He instantly became your friend as soon as you met him. We pray for Traci & his family as they process their grief.

Doug was the best ice fishing buddy anyone could ask for. He fished with our group for the last 5 yrs or so. Everyone loved fishing with Doug. He always had the fishing stories. Doug had the biggest heart and loved the outdoors. He will be missed on our ice fishing adventures.

Doug was such a nice guy! He was always pleasant and respectable. We enjoyed chatting with him when he had appointments and he would always crack little jokes to make us laugh. I am saddened to hear of his passing, my whole heart goes out to Traci and the rest of his family & friends that will miss him dearly. May all of your memories with Doug help you through the tough times. Deepest sympathies
