On Wednesday, December 1, 1971, a bouncing baby boy was born to Kenneth (Bud) & Ruth Campbell at Craig General Hospital in Vinita. From the first Sunday he was dedicated to the Lord he cried every service for the first year of his life. It would also be a year before he slept all night. There was times when he was just a baby that he would respond to something we couldn't see and believed to be angels. He was several years younger than his siblings and they loved to tease him saying lets ignore Doug. He didn't know what ignore meant but he didn't want it and would say, "Don't more me!" They loved him dearly. Doug was saved and baptized at an early age. He was reared in church and loved the Lord. He was a member of The Sanctuary in Chelsea. Doug was a talented man and did a lot of things in his short time. There was much more he wanted to pursue, among those were his musical abilities. Doug graduated from Condry Christian School as Salutatorian in May 1990. He also took machine shop at Vo-Tech in Pryor during his high school years. He worked several years as a machinist. He graduated from Vo-tech in Tulsa in Aviation and got his A&P license. He worked for American Airlines for numerous years. Doug loved to entertain family and friends with his funny stories. He was greatly loved and is missed. He departed this life and entered into the heavenly life May 2, 2011 at Chelsea, OK in a tragic accident.
