Douglas was a longtime member of Fatherland Baptist Church. Throughout his life he enjoyed simple pleasures and the things that brought him close to the outdoors and community. He loved horses and spent time grooming and riding them at the Nashville Fairgrounds. He also enjoyed visiting horse barns throughout Davidson, Williamson, and Robertson counties. Those who knew him also remember his fondness for milkshakes and the quiet joys of everyday life.

Douglas is survived by several nieces and nephews, as well as great-nieces and great-nephews.
