I’m sorry for the loss of your dear brother. From everything I’ve heard he was an all-around good guy. I wish I could’ve had an opportunity to get to know him better. I enjoyed his Facebook posts and appreciate the homemade wine he sent to us. Stay strong! Love, Tammy (David too!) -

Trish, Dawn, January, and all the Rushing family, please accept my love and condolences. Doug was a wonderful man and a good friend. I know you will miss him. There are no words that will take away the pain you are feeling, but with time it will be easier to bear. I will keep you all in my prayers.

My deepest sympathy to Doug’s family. We worked together at the mine. I think of him often, and wish the family well. I will always think of him as my good old friend.

Doug was a great man. Kind to everyone always! I cry with your family as so many people are touched by his life as husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, nephew and friend. He is already greatly missed. -

Love all of you kids and it has been my privledge watching you all grow into wonderful adults that I know you dad was so proud of.

Last Saturday 8/15 after being away for a week, I was checking on my garden and found a rotten tomato. When I picked it, l had a flashback childhood memory that brought a smile. My old friends Doug, John, and I picked some rotten tomatoes from Doug’s parents garden. Always looking for ways to entertain ourselves, we decided to toss some at passing cars from behind a bush at Doug’s house. It was all fun and games until we hit one.

As I smiled I wondered how my old friend was doing these days. A few days later another friend called me with the sad news. I left Marissa after high school and whenever I came back to visit I would always hook up with Doug and we would laugh over the stupid things we had done as kids.
I was blessed to have Doug as one of my friends and now look forward someday to seeing him again in Heaven.
Trish, God bless you for all the love and care you gave. Your love sustained him for years.
