I am so sorry for your family's loss. Doug and I have worked closely together for the last 18 years and I have come to truly respect him for his work ethic and his walk with the Lord. He has comforted me in times of sadness and helped me when times were hard. He will be missed and I know nothing I can say can assuage your sorrow but we know he walks with God.

Miss Jane,
I am so sorry to hear that your son, Doug, passed away. I have heard it said that children are not supposed to go before the parents do. How true that must be. I have never lost a child or grandchild. I hope I never do. You are a precious lady and from all that I have read about Doug it sounds like you are Mr. Howard raised him according to God's leadership.
My love and prayers go out to you,

Doug was one of the first supervisors I worked for at the IP-Pine Bluff Mill in the early 1990's. He was a true professional, a tremendous mentor, a dedicated company employee, a devoted family man, and without a doubt, a man of God. Very saddened to hear of his loss and my deepest sympathies go out to the family. God bless you all.

We are saddened at the untimely passing of Doug. We met Doug about 30 years ago at FBC in White Hall. Even though it has been several years since we have seen the whole family they were in our thoughts. As long as we have known Doug he was a walking and talking testament of God's love. Darla remember that you,Tyler and Colton are in our thoughts and prayers. I ask GOD to put His loving arms around your family and give you comfort always.

"I would rather see a sermon than to hear one" is a statement that I've heard many times in my life. I would say that Doug Latimer "showed us a sermon" through the Godly walk he walked every day. I respected him for his intelligence, work ethic, good nature but most of all his willingness to stand up for his unwavering faith in Jesus Christ! God bless Darla, his boys and his work family at Green Bay Packaging. He will be greatly missed but fondly remembered.

Doug was one of the greatest men I have ever known. I feel lucky to have been raised up around him and his family. A godly man that always had a smile on his face. Many memories were made with him from camping, four wheeler riding, and fishing. Heaven just got a little sweeter. Cant wait to see you again one day Mr. Doug

Darla, Tyler, and Colton,
Words just cannot express how much this news has saddened me. Doug was my customer and my friend. I started calling on Green Bay in 2007. One day during the early part of that year I was standing in the maintenance shop, looking at a piece of equipment. This guy I didn't know walked up to me and said,
"Hi David, I'm Doug Latimer."
We've been friends ever since. I will miss him. God bless your entire family.

Darla, Tyler, Colton, words cannot express how much impact Doug had on those around him. It was an honor to work with him at Green Bay Packaging. There is no doubt that he is with our Lord and Savior now. One day we will all get a chance to see who we have touched in our life on Earth and I imagine Doug's list is going to be a long one. May God bless you and keep you in this time of sorrow.
