Doug loved and adored his wife of 28 years, his children, grandchildren, family and friends. He enjoyed his career as a roofer and his accomplishments at work. He was a very hard worker and took pride in being a loyal person. He was a Christian and loved his preacher, Bro. Mike Price.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Lori Hughes; son, Dustin Torgerson; daughters, Rebeckah Steele and Adrianna Purdin; grandchildren: Cooper, Rhian, Jacob, Jenna, Lorene, Charles and Elliot; his uncle, who was more of a father to him, Bruce Passmore; mother, Debbie Whitfield; grandmother, Rosemarie Bishop; and lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
The family would like to thank Vitas at West Florida Hospital for the care he received there.
