Doug will be laid to rest this coming Tuesday. I will arrange the memorial fight to take place shortly after, and will post the details separately soon. I have relayed your kind words and thoughts to his family.

[Wingman]

Storm, thank you for communicating this to us and the replies to Doug's family.
I hope that as they mourn their loss, as do we, they take some solace in knowing how many of us are fortunate enough to carry the experiences, stories, and character that Doug shared.

[Travis]

I would like to propose to meet up in ED after the group flight to give him a 21 gun solute and hang around sharing times we had with him if that is ok with you Storm?

[Splithorse]

I am very sorry to hear this. I will try and make the memorial flight even though my main computer is boxed up.

I've been given permission* by his daughter to share Doug's obituary with you all. There is also a touching video.

If you wish to switch off the piano music that plays on the website, there's a "Stop Music" button midway down the left-hand margin.

*I sought permission because there is personal information included, but she said it's OK as it's already a matter of public record.

I first met Doug online in a flight simulation game called MSFlight. I really didn't have any flying skills worth noting, but that didn't bother Doug or his good friend Storm. His kindness and personal generosity of spirit allowed me to be accepted within their sphere of friendship, and I will always be grateful for it. We all shared many hours of enjoyment, mostly talking about the things we cared about, and sometimes actually "flying" in FSX. I will miss this gentle and humble friend, and wish the best to his family.

I'm deeply saddened by Doug's passing.

My heart goes out to his family. May you rest in peace in God's arms, Doug. You will be missed.

Truly saddened by Doug's passing, I've also lost two other people who are in my family or have connections with it. This week has been very hard. MY condolences.

[Kalo]

Thank you Doug for the humor and experience you brought to msFlights.net! May your family be blessed during this time of loss.

Saw on Facebook Doug had passed away, was a great guy, a blast to fly with. Will be a great loss for everyone. Always see a few pictures of a few flights we did and thought I'd post them.
