Howard Douglas (Doug) Stow, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, passed away peacefully. He was born on October 31, 1946, in Sacramento, California, to Howard Harrison Stow and Hazel Anita (Bibb) Stow.

Doug grew up with a strong work ethic and a generous heart. After graduating from Licking High School in Missouri, he began his career as a bread man with Holsum Bakery, where his dedication and leadership led him to become a Division Manager. He later transitioned into the restaurant industry as a District Manager for many years before moving into the construction field as an estimator for a stucco company.

A man of deep faith, Doug attended White Mountain Bible Church for more than five years, where he developed lasting friendships in his love for his Heavenly Father.

Doug had a passion for life and enjoyed spending time outdoors. He loved golfing, fishing and hunting pursuits that brought him peace and happiness. He will be remembered for his unwavering dedication, strong work ethic, sense of humor, and love for both his family and the Lord.

Doug is survived by his loving wife, Denise Stow; family dog Baxter; daughter, Lesley Bardwell (Bryan, Husband); his son Steve Stow; eleven grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Howard Harrison Stow and Hazel Anita (Bibb) Stow.

Doug will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but his legacy of faith, hard work, and love will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
