Paul Douglas Burbage Winterville - 2 Timothy 4-7 - "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith". Paul Douglas Burbage Selby, known lovingly as Doug, passed away peacefully with the sunrise on Sunday, June 8, 2025, at the age of 65. The family will have a private service at a later date.

Doug led a full and industrious life. After attending Pitt Community College, he worked as a Biomedical Equipment Technician at Pitt County Memorial Hospital before launching his own home improvement business. In retirement, Doug took great joy in gardening and took pride in keeping his yard immaculate. He lived life with passion-working hard, playing hard, and embracing every moment. Despite life's challenges, Doug remained grounded in his Christian faith, often finding peace through Jesus. Doug will be remembered for his generous heart, deep love for family and friends, and a special affection for dogs. He touched many lives with his kindness, strength, and one-of-a-kind spirit.
