David and I have such fond memories of Doug.  He truly was a friend and such a special Godly man.  Please know we are praying for the family.  

David and Shirley Andrews

I do not have enough words to express how dearly I loved Doug Jetter as a friend, confidant and prayer warrior.  I shared concerns and prayer requests with Doug, Pat and Jim and they did the same with me.  Many of those prayers were answered the way that we had hoped for.  God, in His sovereignty, allowed me and my daughter, Cindy, to speak with Doug the day before the Father called him Home.  My daughter sang "I'll Fly Away" to him on the phone that day.  Doug received the song so graciously, as was Doug's usual demeanor.  

I have been so blessed by Doug's fatherly love and support and I miss him so very much.  One thing that I know for sure is that Love is Eternal. I am so happy that Doug is surrounded by the love of God for all Eternity. I am so happy that Doug is with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, forever more and I will see him again someday.

Doug was a true gentleman who carried himself with grace and dignity. He was a throwback to a simpler era when people took time for conversations, listened to the radio, and actually wrote letters to friends. 

He was a true sportsman, and his love of golf reflected his genteel manner. After all, it’s sport where you dress neatly, follow proper etiquette, and adherence to the rules is based on personal integrity.

His amazing collection of vintage golf equipment showed his love for simpler times, before wooden shafts were replaced by high-tech titanium and graphite. We all were so impressed and loved to tell our friends about how some of his collection was featured in the movie, “The Legend of Bagger Vance.”

Like a hickory-shafted Mashie Niblick, they just don’t make them like Doug anymore.

I can only imagine he is up in heaven, walking up to the first tee.  Henry Ransom, Walter Hagen and Ben Hogan are waiting for him.  “Doug, it’s your honor...”
 
And of course, with a long, smooth swing, he knocks it right down the middle of the fairway.


My sincere condolences to Pat and Jim.  I really enjoyed chatting with Doug when he was out in the neighborhood taking a walk (years ago) and whenever I would stop by for a visit to talk about current events,  what his son Jim was up to, or how things used to be. Doug always had something interesting to say and was not content with just sitting in his chair. He made the effort to get outside for his walk as often as he could. I will miss our chats. My prayers for peace and comfort are with you both.

Kindly,
Jennifer Fiebelkorn
