Doug is preceded in death by his father Robert Crews. He leaves behind his beloved daughters Taylor (24) and Morgan (20), his mother Candace Crews and stepfather Chuck Tinder, sister Jenice (Gary) Grunfelder, his girlfriend Becky McFadden, three nieces and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Doug was always the life of the party, making everyone laugh and being unapologetically himself. He was the first to call to check on things and lend a helping hand. He loved his job as a greenskeeper at Harbor Hills CC and he gave his all on the job. Doug was an avid sports fan, he loved watching all things sports, especially golf, Miami Dolphins Football & Miami Hurricanes football. Doug loved his family most of all, he never missed an opportunity to say I love you, brag about his daughters or let it be known how much he cared about you. He also loved spending time with Becky, his girlfriend of a little more than a year.
