He leaves behind to celebrate his life his wife, Diane; daughter, Lisa; sons, Doug (wife, Stephany) and Shawn (wife, Angela). He was proud of his grandchildren, Kennie, Kellie, Samantha, Madeline, Maxson, Phoebe, Miles, Trey and great-granddaughter, Kylie. He is also survived by his sisters, Deloris Reeves and Louise Ross.

Diane and family,
I am currently in Dallas Texas and will be here until Wednesday night and so will miss the funeral, which I so regret. I believe Nadine will attend, however. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of loss. Doug was a wonderful man and a great friend of our family's. My mother sends her condolences as well. She loved Doug very much!
