I miss him so much , everyday . He was the best dad that I could ask for . He always took care of me the best that he knew how . We had our ups and downs as most do ,but always resolved our differences . He had the best advice and taught me to be a hard worker . He over came great indifference in his world and it made him a stronger person ,as most don't . He was a hard worker and a big dreamer .He had a great life with many beautiful conquests , fast cars and boats , a life that many strive for and only dream of . I would do anything for another phone call or a late night shrimping trip but thankful for the ones I did have .  Today makes three years and it still hurts, maybe now more than ever . I only hope that I can live the rest of my life with the courage  to chase my dreams ,like my dad, my hero , watch him as he goes ,there goes my hero, he's ordinary .

My heart is truly sad as I just learned of this news.
 He taught me so much about life on the water..
 The BEST transmission man I knew!! 
He will ALWAYS have a place in my heart for the good times we shared and for all he taught me about shrimping !! I hope he knew how many people he touched in his lifetime... 

I have great memories of spending time with Doug, Betty and Shelley at the beach during the Summer and at granny and granddaddy's house. We had some good times. Proud of the man you grew up to be.  You will be greatly missed!

Doug is surely gonna be missed by so many people he was a great friend and had became a mentor of sorts  he always had a way of putting a smile on somebody's face when he felt like they were down  heaven has gained another good man calm seas are ahead for our friend and I know he's going to be smiling down today looking over all his loved ones it has been a pleasure having him as a  wonderful friend  praying for the family in this time of loss

Doug was a sweet soul that will be missed by many. I especially owe him for his kindness when I was just a child and he was a spry dating and driving teen. He came by Granny and Grandaddy's house to check on them one summer night with his girlfriend on a date, while the worst storm was beating upon the old two story house they lived in on the farm. I was spending the night. I couldn't have been more than five or six. See, I had this homemade baby doll...a raggedy Ann, and I carried her with me everywhere.. seriously... everywhere...and earlier that afternoon I had gone to the hog pens way down the long dirt path behind the house to feed the hogs with Grandaddy. I took raggedy Ann with me. Like children will do I got all happy watching the hogs eat and sat her down on the top of a post to watch too, and forgot her. When Doug arrived it was way past my bedtime but I was so sad and crying that raggedy Ann was alone in the storm getting soaked, that Granny could not get me to settle down and go to sleep. Grandaddy had already refused to go get her for me. But Doug...and his sweet self, he scooped me up and ran me to the car in my night gown through the downpour and he and Marilyn drove me down the path and he rescued raggedy Ann. He forever had a place in my heart after that. It took Granny all night running her dryer (that she rarely ever used because of keeping the light bill down) with raggedy Ann bouncing about to get her dry. I still have her and she still has water spots all over her face. There is not a time that I look at her that I don't think of Doug and that night. Here's to you Doug. Love you bunches still. Give my sweet Aunt Jean hugs from me! Tracy

Oh Doug, my heart will forever be broken.  I miss you so bad. Take care of mama for us.  I LOVE YOU !!!!
Allen, Toni, Kelly, Jeff, and children. We love you all so much.  I have no words.  

Allen  you have been a part of our lives for many years since you and Toni married in 1998. Your sister Kelly as well.  Your dad and  I shared many  happy memories together as being the grandparents. Rhonda and I will continue  to be there for you all and  for the grandchildren Garritt and Alana and Dawson. May your dad’s spirit continue to be with you all through the love he shared with us all.
