Douglas Starks

I am home now four years, and many days I would have loved to have called him and said I will come down to The "Bus," and hang out with you. We would have gone to some local church. We would have worshipped and praised God for getting us through all of that. Then we would have just been sitting in amazement and gratitude as the other spoke of the great things God is doing in our lives; lives, that society says should not receive grace.

I miss him greatly. I miss his counsel. I miss his brotherly love and presence.

So sad to hear that Doug passed away. I met Doug at N.C.C.I, he was cool with everyone and was just a chill guy, my condolences to his family, may you rest in peace

Doug was my older brother. My first memory was us two walking to school, I was in the 1st and he was in the 3rd grade, and we smoked a pack of my Dad's Kool Filter King cigarettes.

I miss you

My deepest condolences to my cousin, Rosie Lee and her family.You are in my thoughts and lprayers

Doug and I shared many days together at nccc. we were coaches in the faith dorm and Ms. Lykins pets in the camp. we both were team members in Kairos and for the young guys Torch. the photos shown are of some gruff guy, but let me tell you we aren't many hours laughing and making fun of the stuff going on around us.

He was more than a brother to me. although we were coaches we spent many hours scrubbing toilets and sinks. we worked in the camp, like drill Sargent's, processing all the new guys. and days we spent in the mornings praying for those same people.

I was just remembering he and I bent over sinks washing out coffee pots, cups, and arranging flowers,
saying if our folks saw us they would say "Where are they? Prison, that don't look like no prison to me!

I don't know how I am going to live life like I use. He was such a part of my life. I will see him working by the throne!
