Douglas was a devoted husband, father, and public servant that dedicated 24 years of his life to the Kentucky State Police, serving with steady courage, integrity, and an unwavering sense of duty. He was deeply honored to wear the uniform and took great pride in protecting the people of his community.

Away from his career, Douglas was happiest outdoors. He loved camping under the stars and spending long days fishing with those closest to him. He was a native of Rockcastle County who enjoyed working the land, tending to his farm, and finding peace in the simple rhythms of nature. But no matter where he was, his greatest joy was spending time with his family.

Douglas will be remembered for his strong work ethic, his gentle spirit, and the genuine kindness he showed to others. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched-through his service, his friendship, and his love.
