Lost a mountain of a man today. A husband, daddy, friend, colleague, logger, hunter, fisherman, gardener, reader one who took in the neighborhood kids, family friends. He was never afraid to do whatever it took to feed his family or pay the bills. He was always up to tickle you till you wet yourself or cried from laughing. Took your pinky and bent it till you hollered uncle. The man who protected and provided for his wife and two daughters. Who sat on the porch with his wife and helped me so. My Uncle Doug and my rock. We will miss you and always love you. And them damn whisker burns, what the heck!! Love you. Wesley Hedahl Doug was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Ray Nixon.
