After graduating from Orem High School in 1978, Doug was called to serve in the Taiwan Taipei Mission where he enjoyed learning Chinese. Due to illness, he was reassigned to the Washington Seattle Mission and then to the Salt Lake City North Mission before his honorable release. Doug studied electronics at Utah Technical College, and spent the last fifteen years working for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, most recently as an Information Security Engineer.

In 1987, Doug met Lisa Sudweeks when he was assigned as her home teacher. Douglas and Lisa were married later that year on December 18, in the Ogden Utah Temple. They went on to have six children together: Bryan, Tiffany, Curtis, Nicole, Melanie, and Jeffrey. Doug was his children’s most avid cheerleader. When asked about his hobbies, he always responded “my six children.” He attended every sporting event, Band Concert, Choir Concert, Dance Recital, Science Fair, and Marching Band competition, cheering them on.

He is survived by his wife, children, and nine grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings: David of Alpine, Utah; Lorraine Reynolds of Orem, Utah; Robert of Lehi, Utah; and his in-laws, Dean and Carolyn Sudweeks of Bountiful, Utah. His parents Leo and Marie preceded him in death earlier this year.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 9, 2023, at 11:00 am in the Orem Park 5th Ward LDS Chapel located at 195 West 300 South, Orem, Utah. A viewing for family and friends will be held on Friday evening, December 8 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm and on Saturday morning from 9:30 to 10:30 am at the church.
