I have know Doug since 2000. He was a great person to know and be around. He would always find a way to make you laugh, 'always'. He will be greatly missed.
Officer bates used to call me ol Maxwell and now he's gone i will truely miss him my school wont be the same any more R.I.P
Doug was an awesome person. I never saw him upset; he always had a smile on his face and was very friendly. He would come up to at&t and visit us about once a week. I have known him for about five years. This is a great loss to the community. He will be missed terribly. Please keep Doug's family in your prayers.
The thing I will miss most is his personality. He was one of the friendliest people I have ever known.
I have known Doug since 1997. He was a person whom I believe everyone grew to adore. He was always the one that made me laugh even when I would try to act like I was mad at him. HE WAS LIKE A PART OF MY FAMILY. Words could never explain the pain that myself and others are feeling behind this great lose, Doug, I love you and you will remain forever in my thoughts and heart.
i meet doug in 1998 i was a waitress at ihop and he would come in everyday after the gym and everytime he would come in he would request me to be his waitress. always had that smile on his face and cracked a lot of jokes...a few months later after taking to him everyday he leaves me his number and a tip.and the rest was history me and doug remain friends until his last day...i will really miss you doug and will always remember you...
I've known Doug for over 40 years we were brought uo together. We were cousins but considered each other as brothers.My life will never be the same.To all family and friends of Dougs',Thanks for being a friend and and remember my brother as you look towards heaven.
