He made his living as an independent truck driver, and married his loving wife, Ann, on April 15, 1978, in Holbrook, Arizona. The couple worked as a driving team and traveled the country together. They lived in Portales, and then Doug moved to Clovis following the loss of his wife.

Doug is survived by his sister, Twila and his brotherinlaw Hugh Brown and their children, Ron, Rachelle and Ranelle. He will be missed by all of his wonderful friends in Clovis and the surrounding areas.

Doug was a strongwilled, proud veteran who flew the American flag everyday in his front yard. He wanted no services to be held after his passing, and when asked what he wanted written he replied, Flew with the best, now ready to rest.
