Doug loved God and was active in many church activities. He served as an Elder at Legacy Church of Christ. He also worked with Lifeline Chaplaincy and made weekly hospital visits until his illness. Doug most enjoyed being with his family, especially his grandchildren. He loved following all the activities the grandchildren were involved in. Doug loved flying, motor cycling, working in the yard, and spending time with his family at the family lake house. Doug had many collections over the years. His collections of coins kites, clocks, paintings, and antiques boxes were among his favorite.
The family is so appreciative of the care and support he received from Dr. Ravi Patel and his staff and the nurses on the oncology floor at Baylor Medical Hospital in Grapevine.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials be made to Bands or Tree of Life through Legacy Church of Christ.
