Doug Brill  
Doug entered eternal life on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 at his residence in North Bethesda, MD. He was born in in Champaign, IL. He was the son of the late Glenn and Bertha Brill. Due to his father's military career, he lived in several states as well as in England and Germany. Doug graduated from high school in Wiesbaden, Germany and received his Bachelors degree from George Mason University.

Doug served in the United States Air Force being stationed in Turkey and in Maryland. Doug is survived by his sister, Jane Brill of Fairfax; former wife, Julia Jensen of North Carolina and many relatives and friends whose friendships he treasured. Doug was active in high school reunions and Enduring Pride, a disabled veterans' association. Over the years he was happy to be a skilled tour guide of the Washington Metropolitan area to his friends and relatives. Service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to Montgomery Hospice or to Bethesda Cares.

Doug was a good friend to me while we were serving in the United States Air Force in Turkey. We worked together on the same shift at base operations. We enjoyed visiting places of interest with friends on our days off. Doug has visited me a couple of times after we were both out of the service. We also kept in touch by email all these years. I will miss him. John Maxwell

I lost touch with Doug years ago, after elementary school, but I still think of him and his family. He was the first person I knew who had lived somewhere other than Virginia, and that friendship opened my eyes to the world. RIP, friend.

Sometimes people are placed in your path for a reason beyond explanation. A person that can truly change your path in life and act as a guardian angel. Doug Brill was one of those people for me almost 12+ years ago. He saw the potential in me and gave me a chance to prove myself when I was in a very dark place in my life. I will forever be grateful of him and his friendship. His love for me and my family will always be felt in my home. May you truly RIP my friend. I will truly miss you.
