Doug was a man whose life was rooted in hard work, faith, and the people he loved most. He worked as a farmer, a calling that reflected his steady nature, strong work ethic, and deep connection to the land. Doug found enjoyment in many simple and meaningful pursuits. He loved welding and painting tractors, interests that spoke to both his skillful hands and his appreciation for the work and machinery that shaped his days. He also enjoyed traveling to the mountains, where he could take in the beauty and peace of the outdoors. Above all, he treasured spending time with his family and friends, and those moments brought him lasting happiness throughout his life.
