Doug entered the US Navy after high school and served six years. His tours took him around
the world and he especially loved his time in the Mediterranean.
Doug was a craftsman and loved building things with his hands. His specialty was carpentry
and his love for his work showed in the attention to details and finishes. He had a great
reputation for remodeling and construction in Greenville, SC with many repeat customers. Doug
also tried his hand at stained glass and shared his pieces with family and friends who treasure
those works of art.
Doug loved music, especially the classic rock of the 70s, and enjoyed sharing that music with
his family and friends. He and his brothers attended many concerts together over the years and
the stories told were amazing!
Doug was an outdoorsman, spending as much time as possible hiking, climbing, camping, and
in recent years, horseback riding beautiful trails in the TN mountains.
Doug was a caring and loving son, brother, uncle, father, nephew, cousin, and friend who will be
dearly missed by all who loved him. Breathe easy now Doug!
Interment will be on Feb. 18, at 2 p.m. at the National Cemetery, Chattanooga.
