Jay Douglas Dunfield was born September 25, 1964. The notorious life of the party whose passions for living and adventure were unparalled, Doug died unexpectedly in his sleep Thursday, January 19, 2017 at the young age of 52.
Doug is survived by his beloved wife Julie Wilson and his children Hunter Dunfield, Beau and Juliana Wilson. His parents Ed and Jane Dunfield and his sister Marijke Carey and brother-in-law Rusty Carey. His nieces and nephews Ashleigh Woodman and her husband JR Woodman, Crystal Elliott, Henderson Clepper, Ian Carey, Matt Carey and Micah Carey. And great nephews and nieces Vincent Perez, George Woodman and Alayna Clepper.
Doug never knew a stranger and had the disarming ability to make each person he met feel like they were the most special person in the room. A great storyteller, Doug filled the air with hilarity and joy: his laugh contagious, his sincerity obvious and his zeal for adventure endless. With Doug, the glass was not only half full, but overflowing.
Professionally Doug started in the family business 25 years ago eventually becoming President-Director of Roto-Flex Oven Co. The best pizza ovens on the market, they could even be found on the Jersey Shore.
A lover of all things outdoors, Doug could be found fishing for reds in Rockport, trout in Wyoming, catfish in Hillsboro; deer hunting and wingshooting in South Texas; tubing and kayaking on the Guadalupe and relaxing on the beaches in La Jolla.
Though for Doug the best moments were those when surrounded by his family. His love and pride for Hunter, Beau and Juliana was obvious to all who knew him. And these last years were filled with joy as he found and married the love of his life Julie. Doug will be sadly missed by all.
A memorial service celebrating Doug's life will be held Thursday, January 26, 2017.
