Douglas Abraham Blumenthal entered into eternal rest on August 29, 2020 at the age of 52 at his home in Sumter, South Carolina. Doug was born on February 11, 1968 in Dallas, Texas to parents Ernest and Carolyn (Dunn) Blumenthal. He grew up and attended school in Richardson, TX, graduating from Richardson High School in 1986. Doug spent many years learning various martial arts and had a brown belt in Ju-Jitsu. He loved both indoor and outdoor gardening and growing Bonsai Trees; and he always designed a Japanese Garden in each home he lived in. Most recently, Doug had taken up designing and building miniature doll houses. Doug always had a love for animals, from his first dog, Jerome; to Shing-Shing, his Rhodesian Ridgeback; and finally, Mousie and Nibblett, the chihuahuas, who will miss him dearly. Doug was Jewish by faith. He was a loving father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. Doug will be missed immensely by those who knew and loved him. He was preceded in death by his father.
