I knew Doug in my formative years and he certainly made a great, and oh so positive, impression. I grieve with his family at this time of loss- we all were better for knowing this grand soul.
Doug was confident, cheerful and very capable. But most strikingly- he was always complimentary of your strengths. I will never forget that, and always will owe a certain part of me to those wonderful conversations.
We all love you, Doug!

Doug was one of my best friends growing up in Lethbridge. I roomed with him at university, and we both went out of our way to connect later in life.
I recall in Elementary school that Doug was mature beyond his age and not taken to normal childish behaviour and thought. Many of his classmates recognized his thoughtful approach to life, and this admiration garnered a bit of a following. Yet this kind of attention never went to his head.
We shared a common passion for basketball during our high school days, and I loved playing Doug one-on-one. We often went to class in a sweat. We played on the same church basketball team, and I admired his zeal and energy on the court.
I have many fond memories of our time together. He was a passionate person with strong feelings and thoughts about life, principles, and politics. He lived by discipline and order and enjoyed hard work. He loved the outdoors, music, relationships, and life. As others have pointed out, he was a great listener. Like his father, when you talked with him, you felt his genuine concern. He was a disciple of Jesus Christ in how he loved, interacted, and ministered to others.
I recall one of the last times we met, he went out of his way to find me while I was working at the University. He embraced me, and we had an enjoyable time reminiscing and bringing each other up-to-date on our lives.
He lived a life worthy of remembrance and emulation. I extend my condolences and love to his family.

Sending our deepest condolences to the Davidson family. Doug was such a kind and loving man. Always had a smile. He truly cared about people and you knew this when talking to him as he gave you his full attention. I could see how he loved Nellie and theirs is a relationship that was always heartwarming to witness and a great example of a loving marriage. I know he will be missed by many. So sorry for the untimely loss of a such honest and good man. Much love, Susan Mezzullo and family
Julie mentioned the grand reunion on the other side of the veil between Dad Leo, Mom Agnes and all of our beloved family there.
I know that gathering is filled with love and joy.
Providing whatever comfort possible for Doug’s family here is the most important.
Doug came to my Jannie’s funeral providing support for me and my family. He gave all at that time his care and love.
I know my Jannie is among the family caring for Doug and his family now.
Doug and I have been very close cousins all our lives. So many occasions we have had time together.
When Doug and Nellie were married I had to be there for their special day. Greg
The first time I remember meeting Doug was at Hurricane clean up in November 2022. I was impressed that even though he was the oldest member in our group, he was running circles around us! He was a workhorse! Afterwards cleanup, while eating dinner at the church, he took the time to get to know me and my family. He’s was very attentive at listening!💙
He has a strong testimony of Jesus Christ and His gospel. You could feel Doug’s love and devotion and spirit when he spoke. He was a kind gentleman and a great singer. Joe loved singing in groups with Doug. He will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Nellie, and your family.
💙,
Jessica and Joe Edwards
My fondest memory was being picked up at the airport at LaGuardia airport when I attended the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre for a weeks long course many years ago. Doug and his wife took me to their home for dinner. On Sunday he picked me up and took me to church. Kind thoughtful and a gentleman.
My sincere condolences.
