Finally I found some place to pay my respect to Doug. I met him years ago at the San Fransisco Rose, the day he met, my friend Lisa Blount who he married and had his son Taylor. I lost track of Doug but when I needed his expertise, I could count on him. He was a good friend
When asked, he did voice overs for the telecommunication company I worked for. Voice overs that usually were exclusively or expected to be female but I wanted to hear his voice…. And it worked, he did better than any female we tested when it came to recorded phone instructional prompts.
Your gonna be missed Doug! Watch over Taylor…

I just found out today, from John (above) that we had lost Doug. I am deeply saddened by this news. I had communicated with Doug, for the first time in several years by email on April 23 of this year. He told me how happy he was to be back with Kim Dawson and how he was looking forward to a long relationship with them.
I have known very few men in my life that I would classify as genuinely good, kind men. Doug was the best of them all. He will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate enough to have been blessed by Doug’s humor, grace and kindness.
We will all miss you, Doug.
Randy,
Thank you for these excellent comments.
Be well,

Doug lived in my neighborhood for many years and Taylor attended school with my kids. He was extremely active in crime watch and was responsible on more than one occasion for aiding the police on burglaries in the neighborhood. Even after he moved to another location in Plano, he helped his old neighborhood. I miss Doug’s crime watch emails – he was a generous, caring individual. May he rest in peace.
Linda,
Thank you so much for your heart-felt comments.
Be well,

So sad to hear the news about Doug. It had been many years since we had been in touch. I was a friend during his Louisiana years and have never forgotten his sense of humor and that beautiful voice.
Elizabeth,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Doug wrote the most amazing stories with me, we would email back and forth. He taught me to fire a gun, to see the beauty in music and love my talents. He brightened my soul and touched me in ways I could never imagine from a person. He gave to me, he loved me so deeply as a friend and I him. I can’t believe he’s gone when I need his friendship so much right now. Heaven sure is lucky to have him back. I only wish I could have said how much I love him. Blessings to you Taylor and Jet. Is there anyone I can speak to concerning his burial?
I am blown away. I just learned the news about Doug. In fact I had been calling him a few months back and wondered why he didn’t return my calls. This is so sad. He and I were good friends and I would hear from him from time to time and we’d talk about flying or what talent agency we were looking at switching to. I remember when my studio was in the Post Addison Circle area, he would come by and we would work on his demo to change things up a bit, and without out fail just as we were about to finish the power would mysteriously go out. Needless to say whenever he would call he’d want to know “Is the power back on?”
I will miss talking and joking with Doug. A genuine person.

I am in total shock. Doug and I first met back in the Q102 days and began a friendship that was very special. I was sharing stories from those days and thought I would try to reconnect. He is one of the most caring souls I have ever known. Spontaneous trips by air, Texas Jams at the Cotton Bowl, conversations that lasted for hours, such great memories. I regret we lost touch but regret more I didnt get to say goodbye. JB
Jeanette,
Thank you for sharing your stories.

I have so much enjoyed reading all of these wonderful comments about Doug. While he and I are divorced we have always remained very close. I worry more about our so Taylor but I believe he is watching over him.
Thank you so much for having this available for family to read.

Lisa, with Doug as an influence in Taylor’s life, I am sure he will grow up to be an amazing young man. Doug’s heart, soul and spirit were too strong to not live on. Still hard to believe he has “moved on” to his eternal life. JB

My previous comment mistakenly listed Lisa as the person leaving the message. My apologies. Jeanette
