His grandparents, John H. Davis and Jesse D. Tarrant Davis are both veterans as well as his father. Doug was proud of his heritage and legacy.
He worked for Rockwell International and participated in many business ventures within the Houston metro area. Doug enjoyed his children and especially his grandchildren. He extremely enjoyed being outdoors, hunting, fishing and raising F1 replacement heifers with his wife. Doug enjoyed every day of his life to the fullest and loved his Lord.
