Doug was born to Douglas James Nunan Sr. and Myra Elena Nunan on January 9, 1982 in Wiesbaden, West Germany. He was the first grandson to his paternal grandmother. He was born into an Army family and was a world traveler at a young age growing up in places like Mainz, West Germany, MacDill AFB, Florida, Fort Leonardwood, Missouri, Bel Aire, Maryland, Fort Benning, Georgia, Fort Clayton, Panama, Fort Drum. New York, and ending up in Hinesville, Georgia. Being a military brat instilled a love of culture, travel and adventure that lasted a lifetime.
Doug was a graduate of Bradwell Institute - class of 2000. Following graduation, he relocated to Alpharetta, Georgia to attend Devry Institute and then settled in the Roswell, Georgia area where he has lived for the past 20 years. He worked at Cypress Care and OPTUM for over 15 years. Most recently, he worked for Ryder and Dominos Pizza. His work ethic was second to none. He was very dedicated, loyal and selfless.
Doug was an amazing person to know and was everyone's favorite jokester. He was the life of the party and will be remembered by his infectious laugh. He was extremely articulate with his words and could influence any conversation in his favor.
Doug enjoyed all sports and attended numerous events including those with the Braves, Falcons, Atlanta United, Hawks, NASCAR, and his beloved "BIG BLUE" - the New York Giants. He was heavily involved in a local Fantasy Football League called Not for Losers. Doug was the original member of the league for over 16 years. His team, the G MEN, had one 2nd place finish and two 3rd place finishes.
Doug was best known for his love of music. He composed songs with his friends and supported both local artists and larger headliners. He usually had tickets to every music festival that caught his eye and was always trying to go somewhere. Events such as TomorrowWorld-Atlanta, Buku, EDC Orlando and Roswell's "Alive after 5" to name a few.
Doug was more affectionately known as "Papa" to his family, and was one of the founding members of the HLFCrew4Eva. Friends and family were everything to him and he was the first to lend a hand to others when they needed help, support, a surprise visit, a smile...Doug's memory will live on in those countless lives that he was touched.
