Douglas was a beacon of joy, effortlessly making friends whom he cherished as family. His warm personality and sociable nature endeared him to everyone he met. Whatever he set his sights on, he pursued with unwavering dedication.

As a passionate poker player, he enjoyed weekly games with close friends, who would undoubtedly attest to his skills; and his love for motorcycles allowed him to embrace the thrill of the open road.

For the past decade, Douglas dedicated himself to working at Culligan Water, viewing his colleagues as family rather than mere co-workers; sharing laughter and stories, especially about his beloved little granddaughter, Everly, who he adored immensely.
