A special thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff of St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital Emergency Room department, 7 West and 4 West for their dedicated support and care of Doug.

Doug lived a life of service and deep devotion to those he loved. Always just a phone call away, he took great pride in helping others and in his work with the Town of Bay Bulls. He enjoyed every conversation with residents along his daily routine. Doug also had a deep passion for electrical work, a trade he took great pride in and approached with care, skill, and dedication. One of Doug’s greatest joys was spending time with his son, Dawson, whether on an outdoor adventure like moose hunting or simply enjoying a day out on their ATV’s.
