Doug was of the Baptist faith and an avid Alabama fan. To observe him watching an Alabama game was a real treat to witness! He enjoyed his garden, riding his motorcycle, and watching NASCAR races. Doug was a carpenter and did various types of construction.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests making donations to your favorite animal shelter in his memory as he loved his animals so very much.
