HALLOWELL, Douglas Morley - It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Doug at age 58 on January 10, 2021.
He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Merelyn; children, Ciara and Brad (Stefani); grandson, Noah; sister and brother, Lynne (Keith) and Ken (Lesley); nieces, Heather (Steve), Colleen (Mike), and Ashley; and all of his extended family and large network of friends. Doug was predeceased by his father, Morley, and his loving son, Kyle.
Doug, or “Dougie” as he was known to most, was a jack-of-all-trades. He could build anything, fix anything, and sell ice to a polar bear. Doug was a very warm and caring person – even on the darkest of days, he was a beacon of light.
Doug was fiercely proud of his boys, Kyle and Brad, and his grandson, Noah. He also had friends that crossed the spectrum of life, from childhood friends to work colleagues, and everyone he met in between. He took an active interest in the lives of his friends, family, and even strangers. It didn’t matter who you were – Doug would do whatever he could to help, offer advice, refer you to a friend (“I know a guy”), lend you tools, or fix something for you.
We will all miss Dougie greatly.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a private family service will be held, with a public celebration of life to be held at a later date.
If desired, donations can be made to the Uxbridge Cottage Hospital Foundation (https://www.msh.on.ca/foundations/uxbridge-cottage-hospital-foundation) in his name.
