I met Doug in 1984 when I joined the climbing club at the University of Arizona, the Cliffhangers. Four years later, he was a groomsman at my wedding. He took me on my first deer hunt, and taught me everything I know about hunting. I can't remember how many times I've bragged to friends, "I have a friend who hunts elk... with archery tackle!" But the thing I love the most about Doug is that he is one of the very few people I have ever met who didn't have a mean bone in his body. The world is not as much fun without Doug in it.

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes and flowers. But just so that everyone knows, our family is asking for donations to the Conway Graceland Cemetery fund in Doug's name if you're wanting to do something in his memory. If you're coming to the visitation, you can drop a check with the Holman funeral home folks. If you're unable to make the visitation, then you can make a check out to Conway Graceland Cemetery, put in the memo section something like "Doug Officer memorial" and mail it to Holman's. They'll get it to the right people.

Thanks so much,
Ericka Officer

We were so sorry to hear about the loss of Doug. So many memories came flooding back from when we were young reminding us of happy times. We were so proud of his many accomplishments and excited when we heard about the birth of his son. We wish our family love, prayers, and support during this difficult time. We love you and are thinking of all of you. Zeta and Farrel Johnson and David and Sherry Smith.

Treasuring the picture we have hanging on our wall of Doug as a teenager holding toddlers Jenay and Evie on the riding lawnmower at the Hester farm. Such an energetic, fun-loving, engaged, warm-hearted cousin whom they enjoyed immensely. Norm's beloved and intrepid nephew visited us in California before starting his astronomy studies at the University of Tuscon. Exploring the nearby beaches, he plunged into the surf , body boarding with no previous experience, and came home with the skin sand- scoured from his bleeding back.Ouch! Never faint-hearted, Doug took life's scrapes with good humor. Even in the midst of his own pain and difficulties, he always reached out and, often, rescued others. A son, brother, nephew , cousin, husband to be proud of. Sylvie Hester
