I just heard the news today, and I'm extremely saddened that we lost such a great, caring, brilliant person. I worked with him for just over two years, a short stretch of time, but I enjoyed every interaction with him.

I have found it too difficult to try to write anything as I am still staggering from this unexpected loss. Douglas was my mentor and friend. As you all already know, he was very special. He so loved his family, and daughter Kaela. I remember the day we first met and were getting to know each other. Doug cracked me up in talking about Kaela. He said simple "I do NOT like boys". "I do not LIKE boys." He was a proud and protective father. My heart aches for Krystal and Kaela most of all. I will endeavor to keep his memory alive by following the examples he set, high standards indeed. I hope you find some comfort from the messages far and wide about what a truly exceptional man he was. I am so very, very sorry for your loss.

Velma and Doug, our family mourns with you and are praying for your strength and comfort. Words cannot begin to express our sorrow on the loss of Doug. He was just like a member of the family as you all are. We're here for you. God bless and keep you and the rest of the family, especially his daughter.

Velma, I am sorry to read about your son's passing. A lady in our Church says that her husband did not die. He just changed his address. I am sure that is true of Douglas. Although I lost Joe to cancer, and my Mother died this December, I cannot fully know the pain of losing a child. Please know that you and your husband are on my prayer list. May God give you the comfort only He can give.

Douglas, I hardly knew ye, but for what I knew and for the times I shared with you during our ACRP days, I am forever grateful. You were kind & gentle, thoughtful & sincere. You were everything that your friends and colleagues have mentioned above - and then some. Rest in peace, my friend. Kayla and your family will be in my prayers.

"Doug was instrumental in helping me transition from the military into civilian life, more specifically, education. Since, I've done a few great things, all because of our connection. I will always remember his quest to be good at everything and will miss his smile and willingness to help others achieve their dreams, whether personal and/or professional. Another good man...." All is well, All is well Family!

Douglas and I met first time when he joined the Board of Trustees of the ACRP. Over the past years I always appreciated his gratitude, kindness and his valuable contributions during our meetings. Douglas was always open for any type of discussion. Straight to the point but always benign. He was a great man and friend. Douglas will be badly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Douglas was one of the most genuine, kind and intelligent men I knew. He adored his daughter Kayla and spoke of her frequently. The pride he felt was evident in his voice and on his face. He will be sorely missed by all that were fortunate enough to know him. My sincere and deep condolences to his family on their loss.

Douglas/Velma: Words alone cannot explain how much we hurt for you and how sorrowful we are that you have to bear yet another burden. But PLEASE know that you are like a sister and brother to us and we will keep you on our prayer wall. We know that you know, and understand that God will never leave you nor forsake you, and by and by, you will understand that when our loved ones are not here with us, they are with us forever in our hearts: they are our never forgotten memories and those memories are our treasures.
God's richest blessings and perfect peace, even in this storm is our prayer for you: JOY TRULY DOES COME in the morning through our treasured memories.
Rufus and Judy (Dumas) Parham and their families

Doug was one of my first roommates (along with his cousin Tim) and we all formed a special bond. Doug was an incredible person who would always go out of his way for you. His presence would fill the room and I’ve never met a person that did not call him their friend. His dedication to his family and his daughter are unmatched. He was involved with so many things and donated his time to so many great causes…but like he would tell you “I’m just getting started”. I just can’t imagine him not being around – this makes no sense. His entire family was always accepting of me and so kind - My deepest condolences to the entire family. I’ll miss you, friend!

Douglas was an amazing individual who impacted me greatly. He was immensely generous of his time for all others in his life. Numerous Boards of Directors, teaching, soccer, finance, and more than anything, his family. I was with him in Toronto Canada two weeks ago and witnessed him on a 10 minute break from our Board meeting. He was exhausted. In fact, he was literally snoring in the lobby. But he woke up and Skyped with his daughter Kayla for a quick minute before he had to go back into session. The connection mattered that much to him that, even if only for a minute, it was worth it.

I had the pleasure of working with Douglas at Wachovia. He was a wonderful man. Always so upbeat, kind and intelligent. We lost an angel on November 13,2016. He passed away way to soon at the very young age of 47. I am heart broken. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Douglas was a man of great joy and purpose. Every time I saw him, he greeted me with a hug and a smile. He often spoke of his family and of his love and pride for his daughter, Kayla. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I met Douglas through our volunteer efforts as Board members for the Association of Clinical Research Professionals. He worked tirelessly to advance the needs of others and was a great friend to so many. I wish love, compassion and comfort to his family at this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. -Laurin

On November 11, 2016, the world lost a wonderful, caring man.
I was blessed to meet Douglas early this year at an ACRP Board meeting. Immediately, I felt the warmth, caring, and humor I soon came to know was Douglas. Over the ensuing months, I had the good fortune to work closely with Douglas in serving ACRP. His tireless service was impressive and admirable.
It probably was not even an hour after meeting him for the first time that he mentioned his daughter, Kayla. He glowed with pride and love for her.
We can count ourselves blessed to have even one genuine friend who is willing to put everything he has into his family and friends. I counted Douglas as such a friend and, along with many others, will miss him dearly.

I met Douglas through our work on the Board of Trustees for the Association of Clinical Research Professionals. Douglas' sense of humor, candor and professionalism was a shining example for all who had contact with him. His world revolved around Kayla and we shared many stories about the challenges of raising a strong, accomplished young woman. His smile was infectious and his joy for life was obvious. He will be missed by all who knew him. My heart aches for his family during this most difficult time.

"I recently joined the ACRP board and had the pleasure of meeting Douglas for the first time in Toronto. His kindness, sense of humor and willingness to provide support to a 'new member' was deeply appreciated.
He shared his love for his daughter Kayla, the pride in her accomplishments was evident as he spoke of her and the fact he was happy to be returning home to her after the meeting.
He will be missed by so many individuals. My thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family. Dr. M. Peggy Fay

I Remember Doug
November 18, 2016
I remember a smiling little boy
Playing basketball with my brothers and his friends
Joking and laughing and plenty sweatin'
Talking lots of junk and always getting
In a fix, stealing a ball and lying and flying
Missing the basket, taking off shirts
Robert, Doug and my big brother Curt
Thinking about him sure does hurt, but good memories
Out weigh the bad
Back in the day was some of the best times we ever had
Eating cooking, cake and sipping ice cold coke
Stopping to rest and telling more stale jokes
Those boys turned into some wonderful men
Went their separate ways but the friendship never ends
Even though one is gone and will be missed
I remember that smiling little boy, laughing, joking, playing.
My mind records this.
I remember Doug.
