My heart goes out to the entire Salyer family. May your constant comfort be in knowing he is now reunited with Jesus and is made whole again and is also having a big reunion with those closest to him, who have gone home before him.

Rest peacefully, Doug. I've told stories about you throughout the years, but my most memorable one is the time you and Mom took all of us to Dollywood. Not sure if Kelly remembers that or not, but that was the best adventure I had at Dollywood.
