Douglas Kimball Obituary

Douglas Kimball, 64, of Cayucos, passed away Thursday, June 27, 2013. Doug loved the California countryside, fishing, hiking and tent camping (especially in Yosemite). He enjoyed listening to music, playing his guitars and banjo, gardening and reading. Doug loved his three cats, supported local animal rescue groups and was involved with the Cayucos Lions. He had a calm demeanor, good nature, fun-loving personality, great sense of humor and was a kind and generous man. "Papa Doug" is survived and will be greatly missed by his wife, Marilyn; children Milisa, Heather and Josh: grandchildren Stacey, Kaitlyn, Andrew, Meghan, Kelli, Tierney and Holden; and great-grandchildren Chelsie and Spencer. A private service will be held later this month. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in his name be made to emilyspadpetrescue.org

Shocked to hear of Doug's passing. I went with his family to Carlsbad Beach when we were in 9th grade or so. We remained friends through high school. He sent me some of Josh's photographs of surfing. I miss him and the fun times we had together surfing. Brooks Burr

Sorry to hear about Doug passing. I was a friend in high school and we traveled together after I got out of the service. I had no idea what happened to him. I know he lived in San Jose area. He was fun to be with. I live in Scotts Valley a short distance away.
