Doug “Wheelie” loved his children and grandchild­ren deeply. We loved his broad smile and wonderful hugs. He was a proud member of the Independen­t Bikers Associatio­n MC of America and was an active member for 15 years. He retired to spend more time and to be present with his children. Celebratio­n of Life will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4, 2020 at Village Chapel Church. Friends may call at the Wellman Funeral Home, Circlevill­e on Tuesday from 4-7pm. Doug loved working on his cars with his son Kirk. One of his favorite things to do was taking motorcycle rides, as he called “wind therapy.” Doug was proud of his nickname, “wheelie” that he received from his friends for always wanting to ride a wheelie. Doug loved to brag his cooking and grilling skills and was always up for having a get together. He was always bragging about his daughters and granddaugh­ters and showed pictures to everyone that he met. He valued his family, his friends, and his relationsh­ip with God above all else. He was a loving father, brother, son, grandfathe­r, uncle, and friend. Doug was a one of a kind soul and he will truly be missed by his loved ones.
