August 8, 1969 - June 29, 2021
Remembering With Love ~ It is with great sadness, the family of Jerry Douglas Rose, Jr. announces his passing on June 29, 2021 as a result of the extreme heat wave. Doug was born in Whitehorse on August 8, 1969, but spent the majority of his life in B.C.
He was a kind-hearted person with an easy-going manner and was comfortable in any setting and he definitely had the 'gift of the gab'. He loved playing guitar, drums and flute, but especially the guitar. He loved writing poems, songs and composing his music. He was an avid reader, always reading and researching stuff.
In his earlier years, he was a top salesperson in retail sales, he sold computers and cars. Doug was always in the shop working on a project, busy making things, fixing things and getting things humming and purring. He loved animals and one of his favourite channels was Yukon Vet along with watching wrestling and boxing. He really loved living in the Comox Valley and enjoyed his bike riding throughout the Valley especially the oceanfront, along Lazo Road and Goose Spit.
"My son had a good sense of humour, he was thoughtful, generous and good-hearted. He always looked for the positive in any situation; no matter how challenging it might be. Losing Douglas is heartbreaking for me and I will always remember his words, I love you Momma!"
We loved him so much, now we release him to the loving arms of our Creator. He has gone home. A morning outdoor Christian Blessing service and an evening By the Ocean Celebration of Life was held to honour my precious son Douglas on July 11, 2021.
