Sending our condolences on the loss of your loved one. Sent with love and remembrance of your loved one. So many wonderful memories of Doug. His smile and laughter is something we will always remember.
We are so sad to hear of Doug’s passing, and we are so sorry for the loss of your loved one. We enjoyed working alongside Doug. He was so kind and he will be dearly missed.
We extend our deepest condolences to Anita and the family. Doug was a wonderful soul, and his presence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
Doug was a wonderful man and friend. He helped build my home and was my co-worker at Riverwood Homes. My deepest prayers are with the entire Kinghorn Family.
Doug was loved and will be missed and remembered.
Doug was one of my favorite humans to walk this earth. If I needed something he helped me any way he could. He was another father figure to me when big Charlie passed. I know they are reunited in heaven together again! He will be deeply missed. Continue to pray for the family. Love you anita!
Anita, so very sorry to hear of Doug’s passing. It was just a few weeks ago that I saw y’all at the concert. Doug was just a great guy and y’all were such a great and fun couple. I know your heart must be breaking. What wonderful memories I have of your family when our children were growing up. Imagine my surprise when I learned that a family had joined Happy Hollow that were also diehard Denver Bronco fans. There weren’t many of us around in those days – BEFORE they finally won their first Superbowl – so I knew y’all were legit! Then there was that time our miniature Dachshunds were “frolicking” and got “stuck” that I still think of to this day. So many wonderful memories and so much laughter. I pray your shared memories of Doug will have you smiling and laughing soon and praying the Lord comforts you until then. Sending prayers, warm hugs, and much love to you, Gabe, Joe, and Jenny. Please reach out if you need anything.
We are so sorry for the loss of such a great man. Doug was the nicest man and such a great person all around. He will be missed! We are so sorry for your families loss and we will remember him always with fondness.
HE IS AT PEACE AND OUT OF PAIN NOW. MY HUSBAND :TAO WEILAND I (JACKIE HALL WEILAND) WERE GOOD FRIENDS WITH GABE AND BRANDY, AND WE PRAY FOR PEACE AND COMFORT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.
Anita,
So sorry to hear of Doug’s passing. You and your family will be in our prayers
Anita and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Many prayers and love!
