Douglas was preceded in death by his grandparents, Barbara and Walter Kindhart and Duane and Betty Perrine, and one aunt, Christy Emerick. Professionally, Douglas was a self-employed contractor. He enjoyed working with his close friends and had recently started a mowing and plowing business. Douglas was competitive and loved playing all different kinds of card games and video games, like Rummy Pitch, Risk, NBA 2K, and Resident Evil. He loved his son Keaton dearly and they bonded over playing video games and baseball together. He always told his son, "You always take care of your mama." Douglas loved his beautiful 5 month-old baby girl Kadence too, and they enjoyed their early mornings together, picking out her outfits, and watching Tom and Jerry together. Douglas was also a big Cardinals baseball fan. Spending time outdoors, fishing, taking naps, and trips to Mark Twain Lake and the 18 Wheeler were some of Douglas's favorite things. He was a talented woodworker and cook, known for grilling the best hamburgers, but he also had a sweet tooth. Douglas had a great sense of humor and loved watching reruns of a variety of comedy shows. He also had a special place in his heart for his dogs, Boston Terrier "Milo" and Miniature Pinscher "Elvis". Ever since he was a teen, Douglas had a number of health issues but no matter what, he always stayed strong and kept smiling. Most of all, Douglas will be remembered for his perseverance, the smile he always had on his face, and his heart of gold. He always helped others, was there for his family, and cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. Douglas attended Faith Baptist Church in Camp Point, IL. Pallbearers will be Seth Perrine, Jeremy Emerick, Shawn Emerick, Curt Maas, Nick Taylor, Nathan DeJaynes, Ryan DeJaynes, and Anthony Blickhan. Honorary pallbearers will be Keaton Perrine, Jeff Kindhart, and Rich Lorasch. Memorial contributions may be made for his children Keaton and Kadence Perrine, payable to Kathryn Perrine.
