I met Doug the first time when I was around 12 years old over the years we have become very close I remember throwing newspapers with him some of my fondness times with him  forever will be missed Rip Doug 

I just wanted to say thank you to all the people who drove to Longview, TX from Houston or wherever to say goodbye to our dad or just offer their condolences.  Losing a parent is not easy. We are thankful for all the family and friends who were, are and will be there for us, to help with the tough days ahead. Our dad/brothers spirit left this earth peacefully to go be with his parents and brothers. 
He is survived by his Sister Mary Lou Magnole, His 6 children and their spouses, Janice Carlton, Cheryl Mitchell (Spouse - Matt Mitchell), Barbara Carlton, Dale Carlton, Patricia Johnson (Spouse -Marty Johnson) & Rachel Allen (Spouse - Seneca Allen). He also had 14 grandchildren & 18 great grandchildren.  



I remember when dad gave you a dodge truck and later you tried to sell it back to him.
I remember you were nagging dad for his air compressor just a couple of days before he died but he sold it to you for $200.00 and he told me to make sure the $100 bills were real, hahaha
Dad told me later that you were crooked but he loved you anyway. 

It's all good memories and things to look back and laugh about.

We love you and will miss you.

Your niece, Pauline





I remember always going with Poppy on the paper route. We had to take a nap before going. Rolling up the papers then loading up the car to go throw them out. Long nights eating whataburger and jamming old country music 🎶 ♥️ We’ll miss you Poppy! Love you so much ♥️♥️
Love your Granddaughter, 
Krystal Lynn

It only seems like yesterday that I was standing by your bed talking to you but you looked so tired and withered and God looked down and seen you were tired so he sent his Angels down to take you home I will miss you everyday but will see you again one day  I Love you Doug very much your Sister Mary
