In his younger years, he loved different sports such as judo, swimming, diving, and rock climbing. Originally from Makkovik, NL Dougald and his mother, Harriet moved to Lethbridge, AB, in order for her to attend university. He attended the Alternate Junior High School.
Dougald was very family oriented and would constantly check on his mother, younger sister, and niece and nephew. He was a big sweetheart to his immediate family, whom he loved beyond measure.
Dougald was not one to hold his tongue when he didn't agree. He also was the voice of reason when everyone else was unable to think. Dougald was not a selfish man and always thought of others before himself.
Considering how well loved he was by everyone around him, Dougald's spirit will forever be remembered. As each day passes, it will be a very trying time for family and friends and his larger-than-life persona will be dearly missed.
Rest in peace, Dougald. We will see you again,
With much love from your family.
