I met Doug in 1979 when he lived in Oak Creek Wisconsin. I was dating his sister Sue.
He turned out to be one of my best friends.
When his family moved to Arizona in 1979 I was dating Sue so I packed up and moved down there.
Doug and I hung out a lot together. I will never forget the times we roamed around the desert looking for snakes and tarantula spiders or hanging out at Canyon Lake.
He will always be a dear friend. My Heart and prayers go out to his Family.

Hi to Dougs Family.I have not spoken with Doug in almost 30 years. He was my best friend in High School. We did so many things together from Arizona to Wisconsin. There are so many memories that I have from his little smirks to just having fun Dougs Style.

I worked with Doug, when he was working for the Pinal County Sheriff Department in San Manuel. He was a friend and a dedicated officer. When I got married, Doug was a grooms men in the wedding.

Doug will be missed! He was always a 'go to' kind of man that would offer his assistance for whatever was needed. Fond memories always of a remarkable person!
May God bless you and hold you close during this very sad time.

Thank you to everyone who has left messages for our family. The support from friends and family has been amazing and our OVPD angel (Jason Larter) has been what has gotten all of us through this very difficult time. Thank you again to all!

My sincere condolances to the Doug Reedy family.
As a Police Dept employee I knew Doug. He was a very likeable
person, and will be missed. As a person who always wears a
sweater, I will never forget Doug teasing me about that, especially
when it was 90 degrees in the shade. He was a great guy.

Doug, I am proud to have known you.

Pam and Family, I will miss Doug. As cousins growing up he gave me the nickname "Banjo Lips"--I think that was the only word he could come up with that would remotely rhyme with Angie. Take care of yourself and each other. Love, Angie

I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I shall truly miss Doug always giving me a hard time for being a Cowboy's fan. Doug, you are missed.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

I will miss bantering with Doug, albeit his playful spirit lives on within his family. When his grandkids wrestle, when Jay laughs, when the family roots for a Packer touchdown, I'll think of Doug. One of my fondest memories is when Doug went to sleep during the Packers/Cowboys Thanksgiving game (his team was, er, behind) and I put that sign on his chest stating, "Please wake me when the Cowboys score so that I can cheer loudly". I'm sure glad he wasn't 'packing' that day. GreenBay has truly lost its #1 fan. Doug touched all of our lives and he will certainly be missed. With love and hugs to Pam and Doug's family, Brigitte
