Doug’s granddaughter, Ashley, painted a perfect picture of Doug Davis at the funeral today. Uncle Doug was quite the character! He never missed the chance to poke fun at anyone in his presence.  And you never had to ask his opinion, he passed it out like candy.  I have very fond childhood memories spent at his house each summer, which to me, are priceless. I remember there was always a John boat waiting to go exploring on that lake behind his house, always a mini bike or go cart waiting to ride, always a tetherball waiting to be smacked around, a baseball/softball game to get to, and a football game on the tv.  Our week long visits always lasted at least 2 or 3 and always followed with us begging for more, which he never minded. Easter was always an event rather than just a holiday and was always at his house. There were egg hunts, for both kids and adults, complete with prize eggs, raw egg tosses, croquet, pony rides and food. Always lots and lots of food. But Easter was more than just Easter, it was always a reunion of family. Our very large family. I never left without feeling the riches of being a part of this one. Family was everything to Uncle Doug. He never expected anything from any of us... but was always waiting for your next visit. My mom, Doug’s sister, had Parkinson’s Disease. When she fell ill, he never missed a chance to visit. When she began to progress, he could see her slipping away and began visiting every week, with a box of donuts in hand, knowing how much she loved sweets. Many weeks he had doctor appointments of his own, but he always took time to come see her. When she passed, he was a great support to me as he painfully mourned her loss, just as I did.  I will miss our chats, him poking fun at me, and sharing his new Goodwill finds. But most of all, I will miss his always being there.  Rest In Peace Uncle Doug. 

So sorry for your loss and condolences to your family. Our family have so many memories of him and your family as being childhood neighbors. My biggest memory is how much of a fan of the University of Arkansas Razorbacks he was. I remember so many of images of the Razorbacks he had. He didn't coach me but he was like a 2nd dad to us Helgersons. God Bless.

I am so sorry for the loss of your father, Theresa.  The Farmer family has you in our heart.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I wish I had had a chance to meet him
