A true jack-of-all-trades, Doug lived many lives in one, serving as a nurse, pilot, teacher, forest firefighter, and poison control specialist. He approached every role with a deep sense of service to others.
Known for his adventurous spirit and love of outdoors, Doug found joy in camping, rock climbing, hiking, skiing, fishing, and of course, flying.
Incredibly smart, endlessly loving, Doug had a gift for brightening the lives of everyone he met.
