Doug was hands-down, one of the nicest people I have ever been privileged to know. Every time you saw him he would give you this crooked smile that was a true and genuine sign that he was happy to see you. Doug had a remarkable way of making you feel like you were his best friend, even if you just barely knew him.
Doug passed away earlier this week. It was sudden and shocking. To be honest, it hurts like hell knowing that Doug is no longer with us. I do not ever espouse any religious or spiritual viewpoints, but I do sincerely and whole-heartedly hope that Doug is in a place that deserves him.

Boys, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. It's apparant in your writing that he meant a lot to you and for that I'm saddened by his departure. It's humbling how fragile we really are.

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. My thoughts are with all of you. Lara
"...When great souls die
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly
see with a hurtful clarity.
...And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always irregularly...
Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be better.
For they existed."
- Maya Angelou
