Doug was a fireman for the Refinery Terminal Fire Company (RTFC), a profession he loved dearly. As Captain, he was a mentor to his fellow firefighters.  Doug was respected for the man he was and his leadership.  The RTFC was truly a second family to him.

He was considered a beautiful man with a quiet and undeniable strength by all.

Doug is preceded in death by his grandparents, Norbert and Dawn Commons, Lambert & Angela Pollack, his Aunt, Mary King and Uncle, Michael Pollack.

He is survived by his wife, Laura, son, Sean (Meagann), daughter Madeline, his parents Christopher and Valerie Commons, his sisters Adrienne (Johnni) Cavazos, Lisa (Mark) Davani, Sandra (Scott) Leeton and numerous nieces and nephews.  Doug was excited to recently learn that he was going to be a grandfather.
