Don, Karen, Jeff, and Eric,

I'm feeling the pain of loosing a freind. I am sorry Doug is gone. He taught me how to enjoy life. His memory and every aspect of his spirit lives with-in me. He was like a brother.
I mean no disrespect, but Doug would want me to say:(and Jeff will understand):
 "Waaahfully I cry fo my fallen brother, I thank you for the breakfast of waah. to you I salute and bid a most waaahfull journey"

your freind and brother,

Richard

Our sympathy to you,  Don and Karen.   So sorry to hear this news.   Scott Schuldt was in the Mankato area this weekend for graduations and related this sad news.   Our very best to you at this most difficult time.  Lyle & Deb Hoverson

We were very sorry to hear of your loss and our sympathy goes out to Doug's family.

We knew Doug during his school years.  He was friends with my sons, Glenn, Brett and Rob.  Later I went to work at Boeing and again saw Doug daily.  He was very popular and well liked by the Boeing Employees.

Don, Karen and family:  I'm sorry to hear of your loss, peace be with you all.

"Welcome Home Good & Faithful Servant".  The Lord's Blessings upon Doug and his family.  He is now home with his Lord and Savior - safe for all eternity.

I knew Doug from school and saw him a few times over the years.  He was always such a kind hearted person who had respect for others.  To his family may you be at peace with the love and memories and know Doug was well liked and respected! Doug your next journey has begun enjoy my friend!

Dear Don,Karen, Jeff & Eric as well as all family. I am deeply saden by Dougs death. I have known Doug since Kindergarden Doug and I have had many good times together as kids, young adulthood as well as adults. Doug was and still is a man. He shared his gift of "being Doug" to  so many. His life brought happiness to all.I was one of Dougs Best Friends and may be the last of childhood buddies. We shared so much in life. As kids, Doug, Mark Swanson and I were best of friends, you would see the three of us all the time. Doug gave his heart to all, filled with happiness. As we reached Jr. High together we met people like Ron Fisher, Paul LaLone, and we all became Best Friends. Dougs parents raised him with respect and kindness. And deep inside Doug carried that within himself. Thoughout High school, you would find Doug with us guys, along with people like  Lydia Hatch. .Doug, you will be missed dearly. May God be with You and your family. Good Bye Doug. Love You....Todd Shobe.. Alaska

I knew Doug as a child when I used to baby sit him and his brother Jeff. My condolances to his family.

My condolances to Dougs family. I had the pleasure of working with Doug. He was a great chef and honestly one of the nicest people I have ever met, I know his family met the whole world to him. I am so sorry for your loss.  Doug, you were a great man and will be missed by anyone that had the pleasure of knowing you, may you finally find peace and comfort in the arms of an angel.

Now another of God's angels, Doug was taken from this earth far too young. I knew him when he worked at the Spokane Valley Elks about 21 years ago. He was an amazing chef, even at his young age. I ran into him about 10 years ago and we talked about his daughters and how proud he was of them, showing off their pictures. His sudden parting is tragic and deeply saddens me. My prayers are with his daughters and the rest of his family. 

Rest in peace Doug. You were a gift sent by God and will always be.

My condolances to the Klages family & friends of Doug. He is in a much better place and is watching over you.

Never knew Doug but was touched by his story. My thoughts go out to him.  Seemed like a good hard working man. Could have been any of us with some bad luck. May the next part of his journey be full of happyness and sucess.

My prayers go out to your family during this time. I grew up in the valley with Doug and Jeff and would see them on occaasion after becoming adults. Doug was a very kind hearted person and will be missed.

My condolances to Doug's family. He was my brother Ron Fisher's best friend for years. I had the pleasure of knowing him also. Rest in peace Doug.

My condolances to Doug's entire family.  It has been years since I have seen Doug. As youngsters Doug and I would see each other several times a year when our fathers would meet at business meetings.  Some of the most memorable times were at "Sun Lakes" and the "Three Rivers" camp sites.  

My prayers are with the whole family!
