I was searching for Doug for years- we were in the Army together at Ft. Bliss. So sad to find him like this- two years too late to share war stories together
Just learned of Doug’s passing; too late to attend services. My brothers and I grew up with Doug and the Carlson kids: we lived across the street. He was a happy fun loving kid to be around, always laughing. We had a lot of fun playing football, street baseball and “kick the can” in the summer evenings. As we grew up and went our own ways I didn’t see him that much but when we did get together he was all smiles and laughter; he never lost that fun loving spirit. He will be missed by many. My deep condolences to his family and all that were lucky enough to know him.

My thoughts and prayers are with Doug’s friends and family. He was such a good friend to everyone who knew him. I know I am going to miss him and his beautiful voice karaoke just won’t be the same. He had such a kind heart. We are going to miss you Doug.

My condolences to Doug’s family. I met him about ten years ago at CDOC and the first time we worked together I knew he must sing karaoke!!! It wasn’t always an easy place to work but Doug always tried to keep it cheerful! Soon after we would see each other on karaoke nights not that I would sing but he was always nice to talk to. When his Mother was living at the towers I was surprised to find out that my wife knew Her and Doug and so I would see him there and for some reason he always referred to me as “Billy Jack” !! I took it as a compliment since Billy Jack was a tough guy!! He will be missed by me and my wife!!
My prayers go out to the family of Doug, he was a true friend to everyone he knew, he will be missed by all in the karaoke circuit. Rest in peace my Brother in Arms.
Hated to see you go so soon. Just saw you the other day at the store. We laughed and joked and parted smiling. Talked about the old college days and each others craziness way ack when. Where ever u r now it’s a better place because you’re there. Gonna miss seeing u around. Charlie Hart

God Bless all of Doug’s family with comfort and strength. My prayers are with each and everyone of you. I am really going to miss him. He was a very kind and sweet man. I really enjoyed his singing. He had a wonder voice and fun personality. He was always laughing and smiling.
on behalf of myself and Becky, we will miss your voice. On behalf of Ray Esquibel,, he will miss the friendship and talking to a fellow vet.
