Douglas Allan Cooley

Doug is survived by his wife Lynn; children: Crystal (Murry), Robyn (Brent) and Alexis (Doug); grandchildren Jayden, Kesler and Taya; sisters Betty and Phyllis as well as many nieces and nephews, extended family and faithful companion Kahlua.

Doug was born and raised in the Valley. He worked for Canada Post for over 30 years. When not working he enjoyed all the outdoors had to offer- fishing, hunting, camping and gardening. In his earlier days he was an avid and experienced ball, pool and badminton player. He will be remembered most for his quick wit and sense of humor, and he was always the life of the party.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 12:00 noon, Friday, June 2, 2017 from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 293, 4860 Victoria Quay, Port Alberni, BC. Stories and condolences may be offered to the family at www.chapelofmemories.ca.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Doug’s memory may be made to Ty Watson Hospice Foundation, 3088 3rd Avenue, Port Alberni, BC V9Y 2A5; SPCA, 4936 Broughton Street, Port Alberni, BC V9Y 8R6, and the Alberni Athletic Hall 3727 Roger Street, Port Alberni, BC V9Y 3Z6

The family would also like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Ty Watson House, their wonderful staff and the fantastic care that was extended to Doug and the family during the time spent there.
