Douglas "Doug" was born on July 15, 1958 in Oakland California to Benjamin and Elizabeth Pennington. He had one brother, Richard Pennington. He was owner/operator of American Aesthetics, a paint, bodywork and towing company, and later American Towing, both in Lodi, California. He later sold his business to make the move to his beloved Oregon.
Doug is survived by his daughter Melissa (Jerry) Riley of Galt, California, son Dylan Pennington of Stockton, California, son Ethan Pennington of Medford, Oregon, step-daughter Kristin (Jonathan) Powell of Medford, Oregon, step-son Jason "Scooter" Gonzales of Cathedral City, California and several grandchildren. He is preceded in death by both his parents and his brother.
Doug will be remembered for his love of cars and for always tinkering with some vehicle. There will be no services at this time. The family would like to thank Gary Newman for his kind and generous support as well as numerous friends and family that have loved and supported us during this time.
