Doug had a very strong faith and his greatest desire was to reflect the love of Christ to everybody.  He belonged to a Christian Life Community.  Doug and Heather enjoyed many trips together on his Honda Goldwing.  Doug loved wood working and he could build anything.  He enjoyed hunting and fishing and he cherished every moment spent with his family.
