He joined a growing, and loving family that ranched in the small valley of Lynn, Utah. His childhood was spent with siblings, cousins, and animals.

He was able to attend up to the 8th grade in Lynn and from there, went to school at Bear River High School in Garland, Utah, graduating in 1948.

Doug and Carol were married June 14, 1955, in the Logan Utah LDS Temple for time and all eternity.

They began married life in Lynn, Utah, where they started their family. While continuing ranching in Lynn, he and Carol bought a farm in the Mini-Cassia area and they have continued to reside in the Mini-Cassia area until his passing.
