Keo, David and Darren, my condolences and prayers are with you at this time. I have so many fond memories of Doug camping, boating and water skiing. Doug and Dad had such patience with all of us out on the boat. Great memories to cherish. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

In childhood, there wasn't anything better than Uncle Doug's hugs!
I agree with Brian - all the times we spent with our cousins, Aunt Keo & Uncle Doug; camping, boating & skiing - wonderful in the simplicity of spending time with family, sharing laughs that rumble up from your toes. I can only imagine those moments were just a fraction of all the good memories Uncle Doug took with him. I will keep those moments tucked away in my heart too. Peace be with you.

Uncle Doug was simply the best. Growing up, I spent many summer nights camping, fishing and skiing with the whole family. He was at home with his thermos of coffee and cooking behind that green Coleman grill. Uncle Doug had a great smile and a wonderful laugh. Love you Uncle Doug. Rest in peace.
