Douglas Paul O'Neal

His parents, Michael McGee and Sandra (Parson) O’Neal welcomed their son into the world on June 9, 1971 in Brattleboro, VT. He was raised in Hinsdale, NH by his mother, Sandra and her husband, William O’Neal who adopted Doug at an early age.

Doug was a 1991 graduate of Hinsdale High School, playing baseball during his high school years.

Doug worked as a route driver and district manager with the Keene Sentinel for several years.

He loved to fish and be out on the water kayaking. He was an avid NASCAR fan and loved watching the modified stock car races at the Monadnock Speedway in Winchester, NH. He enjoyed routing for the Patriots and the Red Sox. Family cookouts and sitting around the fire pit in the evening brought Doug great joy.

Doug took great pride in watching his daughter, Shelby play in her softball games.

Doug leaves behind his large family including his wife of 19 years, Sarah L. (Trudelle) O’Neal of Keene; his daughter, Shelby L. O’Neal of Keene and her boyfriend, Keegan Pratt of Winchester; his mother, Sandra O’Neal of Hinsdale; his sisters, Michelle Foster and her companion, Ben Kilanski, of Winchester, Sarah E.
