  1. Candle 8Prayers to the family, especially his children and wife. Although I haven’t had the pleasure of knowing Dougie very long, I am a better person for having known him at all. He will be missed. Until we see each other again my brother in law, until then ….❤️

  2. I went to school with Doug at the old Bonne Terre Elementary. I remember him as a caring person who was very kind. Every time I saw Doug later in life, he would always stop whatever he was doing to visit with me. We lost a good one.

    I heart goes out to his family.

  4. Candle 5Debbie, Meagan and Family….we all lost a good hearted person when we lost Doug. I will remember how he always told me he wanted to do right and live his life for God. Doug was a hard worker and when he worked on our parking lot at Solid Rock, he went far and above the call of duty. We will all miss him. Prayers for the family.

    • pastor thank you for not only your kind words but also everything you and bella have done for my family and I during this difficult time. please continue to pray for us as we struggle with reality of doug not being here with us.
