Life story

Doug is loved and missed. He had a distinctive laugh, a great (dirty) sense of humor, and was always ready to get into some shenanigans. He loved movies and who knows how much of his daily commentary was movie quotes. Otherwise, he was most likely talking about football. He had a love/hate relationships with Chiefs and K-State, and followed college and pros all year via podcasts. Camping, canoeing/kayaking, fishing, smoking meats, listening to music, burning and/or blowing stuff up were other favorite pastimes.

We have so many great memories of Doug and it would mean a lot if others would share some of their memories and pictures with us in the tribute section!

Chocolate Pussy in Arkansas

Our family has always loved the outdoors and we enjoy camping and canoeing together. In September, 2007, we planned a sibling canoe trip to the Buffalo National River in Arkansas. We rented a big cabin in the woods that fit us all comfortably. This turned out to be good since it rained the entire weekend. So much so that the river was too high and we weren’t allowed to canoe. So we salvaged the weekend by laughing, eating, cussing, and of course, drinking. One evening we wanted s’mores but it was too wet to get a campfire going so Teresa and Doug decided to makes s’mores in the oven. It didn’t turn out too great but Doug stuck his face in it anyway and proclaimed it as ‘chocolate pussy!’. Doug loved playing practical jokes on friends and siblings and we miss him so much. ❤️
