Boy, I read that and my heart sank. From reading the KUTV report, it appeared he was fine and feeling happy, reminiscing about a recent remote fishing trip, and within a week or two later he's lying in intensive care from an infection and doesn't pull through. I guess when it's a person's time to go, he goes.
As has been mentioned in this thread, this type of thing makes me take notice of my own life and causes me to ask myself if I'm living true to my beliefs and values, and if I'm treating my loved ones the respect and consideration they deserve.
From all I've read and from personal experience, I believe Mr. Doug was a very kind and decent and genuine fellow. After watching a lot of low-budget, low-taste hunting and fishing shows on cable television, it was clear to me that Doug's program was a much more professional and tasteful and enjoyable program. He truly conveyed a genuine love and respect for the outdoors and for all the animals he featured on his program.
I will really miss his perspective and approach to wildlife and the outdoors. I wish I could personally convey my sympathy to his family. Thanks for everything, Doug.
