Doug loved the outdoors and spending time with his family and friends. He loved to spoil his nieces and nephews because it brought him great joy. Doug was a jack-of-all-trades and was self-employed most of his life. Doug was a member of the Little Hope Baptist Church and Rainbow Springs Hunting Club. Hunting and riding horses was a large part of Doug’s life and one year he scored a record Boone and Crockett Black Bear which was a proud moment in his life. Doug was a loving son, father, brother, uncle and friend, and will be missed by all who knew him.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Linda Doughty.

Proud to call Doug my friend. I will miss him greatly and I will never forget him. We shared hunting, fishing, trail riding, partying, and work together. There was no quit in Doug.
PaPa Bill, Dalton, Lisa, David & Pam, we grieve with you with this loss. He was a good and loving man and will be sorely missed by anyone who knew him for even a short time.
May Bless & Comfort you,
john & SueAnn Buratowski
