Doug W Kelly - Online Memorial Website

It is hard to believe 2 months has past. As the days go by the heart still aches and the tears still fall.

 

Doug was taken from us WAY TOO SOON. He had so much more left to give the world. For some  reason God felt it was his time to be in heaven. Even though his time here was short he sure did leave many marks on this world.

 

Doug, you gave us all so many wonderful memories. We have all been taking the time to share those with each other in many different ways. You have some WONDERFUL friends. You touched so many people in so many different ways. Your memory will be kept alive forever by all of those who you loved and loved you.

 

My condolences to everyone today as we hit the 2 month mark. I know that Doug is wathcing over all of us and trying to find ways to help us all. For some of us coping is still very hard and for others they are starting to find their way.

 

Doug, you are in are hearts and on our minds both places you will always stay.

Since 3rd grade.... Always a friend.

 

My deepest Condolences not just to family, but all the friends who he made feel like his family.

 

Rest well Doug.

On behalf of my family I wish to THANK everybody who has sent condolences to us. Doug was a special son, He was the youngest of the family and I was more than a father, we were buddies. Words can not describe how deeply we feel his loss, the pain at times is unbearable but reading all the good things Doug has accomplished and all the people HE has touched makes it a easier. Doug loved life and He enjoyed people, He touch people in a way that made them instant friends, if you needed help Doug was there, if you needed somebody to talk to Doug was there. His passing has left a void in peoples lives that will never be filled again in that way, His smile and laughter will never be seen or heard again except in our heart and minds. Once a child grows and moves on with their lives a parent doesn't really know what that child is doing or how they are dealing with the world but after reading all the messages posted my pride in Doug has reach a point were it can not be measured, it is good to see that He excelled in what He does best, touching peoples lives and bringing happiness to them. I miss Him beyond words, I miss His hugs, laughter, singing and the phone calls and the talks we had most of all I miss Doug.

 

I was once told never dwell on the loss of a loved one, dwell on what they did to you, what they brought to your life and what they did to make your life better. A lost loved one will never return, they are in a better place and they are enjoying happiness, so do not suffer the pain instead enjoy the good part, the memories and the happiness you shared.

 

Again THANK YOU ALL for your kindness and prayers.

It is hard to believe 1 month has past since Doug was here on Earth. My condolences to everyone who loved Doug and misses him. No words could truely ever express the feelings any of us are having. We all loved him and we all miss him.  

 

I want to express my condolences again to Doug's family. Doug was an amazing person someone I sure you are proud to call a member of the family and a friend. This past weekend must have been especially hard being Mother's day and (from what I see in other postings) a first holy communion. I am sure Doug was there in spirit watching, smiling, and even singing along with any and all the music playing.

 

Let's not say goodbye but say until we meet again my friend~

 

 

First, My condolences to all Doug's family.

 

I woke up today and finally cried out loud, still hurt (which is a lot for me being hard core X- Private Investigator NYC & VB) I met Doug in Virginia Beach, VA. I kind-of introduced Doug to our favorite place where he spend most his time off, we would played dart have a few drinks, Sing, talk about New York, his family in NY his daughter of course...  

 

We were two New Yorkers living in Virginia Beach, Va, picture that! I'm the one sitting next to him (picture 11) having Thanks Giving dinner he became friend with the same circle of friends I have (he fit right in). 

 

I moved from Virginia Beach, VA to Fort Worth, TX and made it a point to see him the day before I left and also had the pleasure of seeing my other good friend. It was a great send off for me and sad, but I knew I would see him again. We talk about everything, life, and family good times & yes the bad.   

 

The last time I spoke to him was the Thursday before his passing, he was working and busy but he took time to stop and talk on the phone, I was to stay with him when I got back in town the following month. I found out about his passing via Web site 3 weeks later. My fault didn't update my phone number with my friends yet. 

 

I miss him we were Good Friend, an Irish man and a Puerto Rican, both Catholic from New York picture that!, the fun that we had, the story : )…. 

 

Well, just want to say your parents did a great job rising you (I never met them and that ok).  What in impact you had in my life such a good friend, such good man, tells a lot about your family. Thank you for bring his happiness, smile and sense of humor into my life. 

 

HE will always be my friend and I will always keep my word (he knows that) “I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN MY FRIEND IN HEAVEN”.

 

Your Friend Always

During a time like this, words never seem to be enough or we all feel we cannot find the words we feel are right. 

 

Doug touched so many people in his time here and has taken with him a piece of all our lives.  We never forget the laughter, the smiles, his signature "Hey you" or his infectious smile and childlike acting at times. 

 

With all the memories we all hold so dear, he will never stray far from our hearts or minds. 

 

My condolences to not only his family, but to all of us who have been touched even for just a moment by his heart

My condolences to Doug's family and friends. He will be deeply missed by us all who knew how special he was. 

My condolences to all Doug's Family and Friends. My heart broke when I found out the news of his passing. Doug was a great guy someone any parent would be proud of. Doug was a person who if he came into your life for even 5 minutes he touched it for a lifetime. I have many happy memories that I will hold near and dear. They will be in my heart forever. I hope Doug has found peace in heaven. I believe he is looking down upon everyone who loved him. He is deeply missed. He is 100% loved.

My heart is breaking for Doug's family and friends.  I count myself as part of his extended family.  I am so sorry we will never see him or hear his kareoke  ever again.  When Kalyn bowls, she will always think of her daddy.   She is making a memorial scrapbook of her daddy and all the fun times they had together.  She and I both think he was the best daddy ever.  We love him and will miss him terribly.

My deepest condolences to Dougs Family and friends.  Doug will be all of our Gaurdian Angel always looking over us.
