I am entirely grateful to have known Doug, he taught me many life lessons; like if I have two of something, I have one too many and can give one away to someone who needs it. Doug was an example of generosity, respect, and patience. Glenn and I were in Utah when we heard about Doug so we commemorated Doug's life by riding the First Annual Doug Erickson Zion National Park Ride - we remebered Doug in an environment he would have appreciated, towering red rock, long grass and lush trees. We might not make it back to Zion Park to do the ride again next year, no matter, Doug is always with me, and remembered daily. Thoughts of peace for everyone, Pam

I never know exactly what to say at times like this, but I am very sorry for everyone's loss. It's funny because I never realized the impact Doug had on me until I got the news from dad and really started to think about it. He was someone that to me was almost like he couldn't be real, I mean, I never saw him grumpy or mad, or with out a smile, he welcomed everyone with kindness and respect. He just had such a no worries sorta way about him, something that I have never seen in anyone else. It's the way I wish I could be at times. I always found it hard to understand how he could live with such ease and calm. I look at myself, and I stress and get frustrated and say things to people that I shouldn't. Which is something that the Doug I knew would never do. If I take nothing from the time I had with Doug other than learning to relax, I will be a richer man for it. Mayook is a time of year that I have always loved and looked forward to attend since as early as I can remember. It's always been such an amazing way for me to feel what living is really about. Being with friends and family and, eating good food and playing and listening to great music, out in nature. A place where the stars fill the sky and when everything's quiet, everything is just quiet. It's unfortunate that alot of people dont realize what they have until they lose someone like Doug. I look forward to Mayook this year and no matter the work schedule I will come, I have no holidays left but I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Very sad to hear this news. I don't know what to say. Dooger you had a beautiful spirit and a great outlook on life. Thanks for setting a great example and thanks for the memories. Life is short go long! Your friend,

Doug wasn't someone I knew really well. But that was one thing that was cool about him. You didn't have to know him well, or him know you, to feel like he was still interested and cared about you as a person. I most often saw Dooger at the Hephers place. He always seemed genuinely happy to see me (I guess it was the smile that tipped me off) - like he was expecting to for days or something. He always asked 'what the heck I was up to' and it made me feel like he actually wanted to know.It wasn't just a greeting. He always knew the other members of the Jones clan alot better and I wish I had been able to share a canoe or two with him along the way. But I feel utterly blessed that I was let in on a little of who Doug was.

When Doug was at college in Lethbridge, we met through a mutual bluegrass friend and played our guitars for an evening or two. I didn't think of him again for some time, but many years later, I showed up at my son Mike's (and Anies') wedding to find that it was being held at Doug's home. "Ian!" he said. "Doug!" I replied - both equally surprised. He welcomed us with open arms and hearts then, and every time we met.
I know from Mike and Anie and from my own experience that Doug's open arms and heart were who he was. That's how he will be remembered. Blessings upon you all. - Ian Hepher, Lethbridge

I Knew Doogers as one of my dad(Mike) and Debbie's dear friend. I remember the first time i met him,...he rode up on a bike with that huge smile we've all grown to love! Than throughout the years every time id seen him, he always wore the same smile that touched my heart the first time we met. He was a great friend who would always make everyone feel good about themselves and im going to miss him dearly. If i had known i wasen't going to see him again,...i would have held him longer at the last Mayook Mania!(This year we'll celebrate in Doug's honor)I know he's happy and at peace, it's the rest of us left on earth that have to suffer through the pain of a great loss! We love you Doogers!

Someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth will not understand true poverty until their silver spoon is ripped away. I was born into a richness of community I took to be common and ordinary. Doug was very much at the foundation of that wealth. Pampered brat that I am, I think this tantrum is going to take awhile to calm down from. I hope when the dust settles I can manage to give out even half the thoughtfulness and caring that Doug did. I will miss him.
