Douglas Shepherd Adams
1952 - 2018
Our favorite cowboy started his new journey March 23, 2018 with his family at his side. Douglas...Doug...DooDoo...Dougie...Dooglaus… however you knew him there was no doubt that you loved him . Whether on a horse in the mountains on the beach in Puerto Vallarta or just hanging out at home with Jody and Lilly , Doug always enjoyed life. Always there for everyone... Doug was full of life and life was full of Doug.
Doug cherished the love of his life and truly his soul mate, Jody. She was his best friend who never left his side and who will love and miss him always and of course Lilly (woof) too. Also with him to the very end he was blessed with his dearest daughter Elizabeath (Liz) and Brandon Mackay , grandchildren Hannah, Addie, Chance, and Lucky (Easton) and his son Tyler Adams . They will all hold down the ranch for Doug while he's gone. To watch over things in this life while Doug rides the trail ahead are his brothers and sisters Stan Adams...Ann (Dee Bradshaw) ….Richard Adams (Susan) ... Wendy Adams Mendenhall and Kathy (Jeff Sidwell) . With him on his next adventure are his parents Ramona and Wendell and his brothers Graig and John. Special thanks and love to Livier who helped Doug through the last several months.
Never say "Goodbye" just "SEE YOU LATER". "Happy trails to you our sweet Doug... until we all meet again" We love you .

So sorry to hear of Doug's passing. I first met him in 5th grade at William Penn Elementary.

The Doors were coming to town, and we got tickets. Excitement ruled! Then Morrison got busted for being himself onstage, and the Utah concert was cancelled. Doug and everyone else was bummed. Doug, your destination is pre-ordained, but just in case..ask the Lizard King, "Jim, WTF?"

I first met Doug playing in a field behind Scott Sorenson's home on Orchard Dr. We were both around 10 years old and boy did we have fun.
Doug was a standout in any crowd. He was full of optimism and loved life and tried to make everyone feel welcomed. I have a lot of memories with Doug through the years, from rabbit hunting in the west desert to riding horses and water sking and so much more.
Doug was the one that introduced me to my current profession of Real Estate over 44 years ago. We worked togeather in that field for 3 years. Yes we had fun there too.
Doug's presence will be missed, but the memories will live on.
See you later Gugg!!!!!
