I’m very sorry to learn of Doug’s passing. He was always so cheerful and nice. RIP.
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Doug at the Department of Revenue. A more pleasant, cheerful and hopeful man couldn’t be found. He always took such delight in the world and people around him. We are so sorry for your loss.
To the Austin family: Please accept my sincere condolences and deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear loved one. Death is such a tragedy for all of us, and when it touches us personally, it’s sometimes difficult to find the comfort that we search for. Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah, who is the God of all comfort, feels empathy for those who have lost a loved one in death, and therefore promises to swallow up death forever and eliminate all pain and suffering. (Please read Revelation 21:4 and Isaiah 25:8) Jesus gave even more reason for hope at John 5:28,29 where he explains: “…all those in the memorial tombs…will come out…” As you read the above texts in your Bible, may they give you hope and comfort, during this most difficult time. Again, my deepest sympathy. David Cowles
My husband and I were blessed to serve as Doug’s cleaning and handyman service for a few years. Our friendship continued long after. He was always so cheerful, upbeat and fun to be around. He was an excellent and treasured friend. We take comfort knowing he is now fully aware of how much he meant to those he touched here and joyful for he is restored! Much love and prayers to your family.
Doug was always a good friend to talk to when I was in the hospital with him and always had words of encouragement for those around him. One of the nicest and genuine souls to all.
