At an early age, he dreamed of playing football under the lights of Panther Stadium - a dream he realized and excelled at.

He competed with a lot of determination, love of the game, and grit. He was a tough guy with a big heart. Doug graduated from Friends University with a degree in business. Doug and his sister Jodi founded the BS Sandwich Press food truck - helping pioneer the food truck business in Wichita. They served a variety of creative sandwiches, but mostly served up many laughs and smiles to their customers, Doug loved to travel and had the opportunity to see the world. He visited Hawaii, Alaska, London, Paris, Scotland, Rome, and numerous cruises. He was an awesome, caring, fun-loving uncle, a loving son, and a little brother. He made his mom and dad proud during his short time on this earth. You will always be in our hearts and minds. We love you son!!
