Doug was a dedicated Father, husband, son, brother, and friend. He was very proud of his accomplishments and worked very hard to provide for his family. He was a fantastic uncle to Nick and Emerson my grandchildren. I wish I could have known him better. My son in law Jeff, looked up to his brother Doug. In sending my love and prayers for Brenda, Ryan, Alexis, and Madison. Doug will be remembered and loved forever.

Doug was one of my favorite students at St. Alfred Elementary School in Taylor, Michigan. A great kid from a great family. My heart goes out to the Kush family with sympathy.
