On Wednesday, August 22, 2018, Douglas Durrett quietly ascended into the arms of our Heavenly Father. Doug will be missed by all of those who knew and loved him. He was a loyal and loving son, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. He worked hard and loved harder. Doug enjoyed nothing more than doting on his loved ones, including the family pets. He was a man who could tell it to you straight forward, a now commonly lost art. He could tell a childhood story in a way that had you feeling like you were part of the memory yourself. He lived to laugh. The endless amount of love and laughter that poured out of such an amazing soul will be forever missed by many.
Services will be 10:00 am Saturday, August 25, 2018 at Bellmead Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Ken Moody officiating.
