Doug John Zeigler

<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Doug Zeigler passed away peacefully on Monday, February 8, 2021 at the age of 74 years.&nbsp;</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>He was predeceased by his grandparents Beatrice &amp; Orville Zeigler; his&nbsp;father John Batt; his&nbsp;mother Kathrine (step-father Ray) Postles; his&nbsp;sisters Sheila, Shirley and&nbsp;Darlene; and his brother Charles. Doug&nbsp;is survived by his wife</strong><strong>&nbsp;Ann Moch ; his brother&nbsp;Allen McKay of&nbsp;Kitchener, Ontario;&nbsp;three generations of nieces, nephews; and many friends to remember the good times they enjoyed together.</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Born in Vancouver, BC, Doug went on to attend Athabasca University with a focus on Social Psychology. He worked in Human Services at all levels, government and non-profit organizations, and was an active volunteer for over 35 years. The latter part of his life, he resided in Medicine Hat, Alberta, with Ann and many friends.</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Doug&rsquo;s passions in life were studying history, writing poems, sports, looking &lsquo;deeper&rsquo; and had certain values that guided him in his life. He lived one day at a time, lived each moment to the fullest, and he lived in each moment. His understanding was that there was a life after death. By his own personal experiences, Doug did not fear death. He even authored a book on these experiences &lsquo;The Proof is in the Pudding&rsquo;.</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>He wished to leave with you a quote from Mark Twain -</strong></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><em><strong>&ldquo;The fear of death follows from fear of life. A man who fully lives is prepared to die at any time&rdquo;.</strong></em></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>A Celebration of life will be held at a later date. &nbsp;</strong></span></span></p>
