I did not know Doug long but I had the pleasure of taking care of him in dialysis and at the transplant center. I was blessed to have taken care of him. My prayers to his family.

I had the privilege of working with Doug for several years. I learned so much from him. I saw him under intense pressure in several critical situations on the job and he always was a professional through and through, he was so level headed and direct. I learned to respect that direct approach he had and he had my back more than once during the course of our time together. I have great esteem for him and wish to offer his family my sincere condolences. RIP Doug you will be missed.

I will greatly miss Doug, I met Doug a month or so after Kris started dating him, we had them over for dinner. I adored him from the very first time I met him, a very loving, hard working man. I loved seeing Kris and him together. As his Mother-in-law, I have lots of fun memories of family times together. He will leave a big whole in my heart. Bob and I will keep the family in our prayers.

This is heartbreaking news.
I was fortunate to have worked with Doug and it was always a great joy discussing things... anything, with him. He was just the sort of person I always felt comfortable around.
My condolences to the family and those closest to Doug. We will all miss his comforting and cherished presence.

I hope you find comfort in the memories and legacy Doug has left behind. He will always be with you in your hearts and will never be forgotten.

My deepest condolences to the Bird Family. Doug was a deer friend and I'm so saddened to learn of his passing. I still remember us sneaking out at night, pushing his family's car out of the driveway so his folks wouldn't it start, and going joy riding (sorry Tom!!!) in the middle of the night! Loved the rides in his Trans Am and "outsmarting" the police! So much fun out the shop! Always was there for me as a friend!!!!! May God rest his soul and comfort the family. Miss you!!!

Doug was a key person in the beginning of my sales technology career in Brazil. He was fair, open, respectful and gave me the opportunity to work with his team in a very successful key project. I learned a lot with him and his team. Many years later, I met him when I moved to the US and he gave me some great advice.
Sending my thoughts and prayers to his family.

We are going to miss a great guy, friendly and generous. I shared with Doug quite a lot of working time in Latin America, a guy open to understanding the different cultures of the countries in which we had to work, open to listening and even innocent in the way of being surprised by local issues, from the strange and late hours of dinners in Argentina, that talking about “Futebol” in Brazil was like talking about religion, the formality of the treatment in Peru, the risky way of driving a car in Chile, even the long wait that could be "Ahorita" in Mexico.
A Big boy expecting to be surprised by a new experience of behavior on each society.
He dedicated many hours to our countless talks that we have shared until generating a relationship of mutual trust.
Loyal with their work teams, fierce with non-compliant suppliers
I still remember Doug's friendly welcome of my son Simon and me at his house, and I want to thank you, Kris, for allowing us to share dinner with your family.
Te vamos a extrañar

Doug was instrumental to our business growth in Latin America and his trust in us made the difference with Nextel Brasil. A professional who wanted the best for his company and willing to put his personal brand on the line.

My dear friend Shayla, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your dad. I will always remember how he opened his house to us youth from Calvary Baptist in Idaho Falls and let us visit you. I'm praying God will bring you peace and comfort as you navigate forward. Please know you are all very loved.

We are so sad to know that Doug is no longer with us. He was a great neighbor. One who was always there to help out, teach or lend a tool..... and Lord knows he loved his toys (he had the best stuff)! When you spoke to Doug, he would look you directly in the eye and listen to you as if you were the only person on earth. He had a sincere heart and was a kind man that treated our sons as his own. He made camping, boating and get togethers special, and was a great host. He loved his family so much. We will always remember his infectious laugh and car side chats (especially when you had to look all the way up at him in his big truck). Until we see you again, Brother.
Love

Thank you!!!! All I can say is thank you! Doug helped me tremendously while in college and the whole Bird family let me in, literally. Not knowing me at all. I love each of you and I am so sorry this happened this way. You each hold a special place in my heart. Again thank you all for everything. ❤️

I met Doug only once. And it was Monday. And when I said goodbye to him he clasped my hand and looked me in the eye to say thank you. I can’t imagine the strength needed to get through all he endured, but it was so evident his strength came from his love for his family. I’m honored to have met him. Heartbroken for all who have had to say goodbye.

I feel terrible for your loss, I had hopped Doug would recover and get back to being the awesome friend and human being I got to meet. I hope that the very many great and loving memories with him help ease the pain of his passing for You, Shayla, Mckenna and the extended family . My deepest condolences to you all.
Sincerely,
Antonio Escobedo!
