Doug accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior around 2004 and became a member of the Ebenezer Baptist Church of rural Abilene.

Doug was an avid gun collector and book reader as well as a gunsmith and was very knowledgeable in many areas of life. He was a lifelong member of the NRA.

Doug enjoyed shooting and reloading and just sitting around trying to find ways to solve the world’s problems with friends. He will surely be missed by all who knew him.
