Doug grew up on a rice farm in Alvin, Texas, with a loving and hardworking family. He married his high school sweetheart, Joy, who literally was the joy of his life! He was employed by and retired from DuPont SRW plant in Orange, Texas. Doug loved motorcycles, and his favorite thing to do was ride with his two sons, Daren and Justin, who share the same passion. He enjoyed fishing and being outdoors. Reading was also one of his favorite pastimes. Although he enjoyed many activities, his favorite role was being "Paw Paw" to his three grandchildren.
