    I have many wonderful memories over the last 20+ years with Doug. Spending time with the family (Jaedine, Jeremy, Tyler, and Josh) Going to Wild Waves (where he loved to dunk me in the water), camping at Thousand Trails and Thanksgiving feasts where making the “Family” cabbage salad was so important to him, plus so much more! You will always be in my heart and my memories…I will miss you ❤️

    I am so sorry for your families loss, and send our deepest condolences.
    Doug/papa has struggled for many years with his health issues. I know he was grateful to have such an amazing wife that stood by him through it all, and his boys that checked on him often. I will always remember the experiences, and the special moments he had with Kayleela and Lauren. He was a great instructor with anything that had wheels on it, and taught them to get past their fears. No matter how he was feeling there was always quality time, and memories made that will never be forgotten. Lauren and I are blessed to have known him, and call you family.

    I have known Doug and Jaedine for ten+ years. Doug was always kind and always gave you a chance. He loved his outdoor sports, such as fishing and camping. He always had a smile and was good at making you feel important. He always made sure that his step-children knew he loved them. John, Joshua, and Jeremy always knew he loved them. He was lucky enough to get in one last ride with Jeremy, and I know that made him extremely happy. He loved his bike and he loved his children, and he loved his wife.
    REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND, REST IN PEACE.

  • Brandon Whitney

    I have many fond memories of my dad when I was growing up. He loved going camping, hunting and fishing. He really loved playing sports as well. He would often join a pickup game of basketball with the neighborhood kids or join a softball league at work. I also had the pleasure of my dad coaching some of my baseball and football teams. He was the LSJAA football coordinator for a few years and coached many other teams including my brother’s. My sister Heidi Whitney, brother Jordan Whitney and I would spend a lot of time at the football field playing and helping out. He was also a very fierce competitor at the game Madden and we would have tournaments all of the time. Whenever it would snow he would be right out there to play and it didn’t matter what time it was, snowball fights, building snowmen, etc. He really enjoyed spending time with his family, especially around the holidays. He would go all out for Christmas and also the Fourth of July. My dad had many friends and never had a hard time meeting new people. He was a really nice guy and fun to be around. He certainly loved his cars, trucks, motorcycles, dirt bikes, go-carts, quads, 3 wheelers and boats. Too many of them to count. I had a good time with my dad growing up. Though, when we got older our meetings became few and far between but, we always picked up where we left off. I love my dad and he loved me. I am very proud of him, please rest easy Douglas Edward Whitney. You will be missed.
