Doug loved sports and was an avid basketball player and softball player most often as pitcher. His memory was amazing when it came to sports stats and players. He was a big BYU sports fan and stayed up on BYU Football and Basketball. All that knew Doug recognized his quick wit and joking personality. He made everyone feel comfortable and had such a big heart. He dealt with many health challenges, but handled them with grace and, of course, a little defiance. That part of his personality came from his Dad, who preceded him in death.
