Douglas Kevin Belcher

Kevin was born in Lynchburg on May 13, 1967, son of Douglas W. Belcher and Barbara E. Belcher.

He was a member of Emmanuel United Methodist Church where he was the financial secretary. He served on the Amherst Town Planning Committee and was an employee of Greif Packaging, LLC for a number of years. He was a loving husband, father, and Baw-Baw to his grandsons and a faithful friend to many. Despite his declining health for most of his life, he went above and beyond to invest in and spend time with those he loved the most, and especially loved spending time with his two grandsons, Levi and Ryland. He also enjoyed hunting and golfing. His love for life was evident in the ways he expressed his love and concern for his family.

In addition to his wife Teresa and his parents, he is survived by 3 daughters, Hailey Downey and husband Nate, Morgan Beck and husband Angus, and Madison Belcher, who he loved with all his heart; 2 sisters, Kimberly A. Belcher and Kristy Godfrey; 2 grandsons, Levi Beck and Ryland Downey; father in law and mother in law, William H. Wydner and Patricia B. Wydner. He is also survived by special nieces and nephews.
