He was predeceased by brothers Donald and Eric in infancy and a sister Marilyn DeCoste. Born and raised in Thorburn, Dougie was a true family man. He enjoyed spending time with family whether it was a summer BBQ or a video chat with his kids. He had a great sense of humour and was the king of one liners. A carpenter by trade, he was employed by Dave Marshall's Roofing & Siding. Doug was the go to guy for any fix it job that needed to be done. He never refused to help and there wasn't a job he wouldn't tackle. Dougie loved his camp in Laggan where he spent as much time as he could. He especially enjoyed fishing and hunting and often told stories of his moose hunting trips to Newfoundland and the Cape Breton Highlands.
