To a lovely kind Uncle who looked out for his family and friends. Lots of fond memories of warm welcomes from Uncle Doug and Aunty Jean. Glad that you are now with Aunty Jean, Grandad Brown and the dogs, to whom you gave such a good and loving home. X

Dougie was a fantastic uncle to me and loved him very much. A cheeky chappy, who always had some time for me.
Loved going on hols in the Isle of Wight, speedway and just seeing him and the family.
I miss his warmth and laugh, but we'll meet again someday!
Pete.

One of my first proper memories was sitting on your Red motorbike, with the smell of the fuel and the radio on in the back ground in your garage. - Now that's a Summer.

You taught me that life's about having fun, enjoying it (and beer!) and making memories with those you care for the most, whilst not stressing about the little things.

You always selflessly gave up your time to help others and family and give everyone your famous old Dougie Hug (which I miss greatly). Thank you for being one of the best granddad's anyone could ever ask for and thank you for all of the advice/support/memories that you gifted me with I will never forget x

Diamond Dougie Brown. I could not have wished for a better grandad. Your passion for motorbikes, your garage full of tools and your never ending love for beer will always cement you as a figure of effortless cool in my upbringing. You softened in your later years and would never shy away from telling us you loved us. I’m incredibly lucky to have spent 32 years of my life in your company, with unforgettable trips to speedway in Eastbourne and Cardiff, memorable parties and celebrations at your houses, and of course many occasions spent around the dining table, laid out with a special nan spread, sat opposite you tucking into a plate of food garnished with your trademark beetroot. You were loving and kind to all in your life, and treated others with fairness. I’m happy that you can now be back with your beloved Jean, as well as Bonnie, Dylan, Bruce, Keith and all those lost who you cherished so deeply. Thank you for being a father to dad, Jackie, Paul and Julie, a husband to nan, a grandad to all of my wonderful cousins, a father-in-law to my mum and a friend to so many. Rest in peace x

To my lovely little mischievious brother who always rang me up if he thought I was lonely when he was able to, bur always remembered who I was when I saw him over the past few years. I was the only person who could remember the things we did together when we werc children. I enjoyed our time together when Steve used to bring you to stay before covid.
I am pleased you are with Jean again.
Lots of love, Jean xxxxx

My dad taught me everything I know about life from start to finish. He always had everyones respect and never gave up on our family. He didn't have it easy at all but always had that ability to make people smile when he had a lot of turmoil going on in his life. He always had time for people and liked to put them at ease with a laugh or a joke. We will always remember him. Love you dad xx
