In memory of Doug, I can say, "The time I shared with him will never be forgotten and will forever be
cherished as some of the finest hours of my life. He was the one person in the Bush family who
inspired me the most at gave reason to visit Hesperia on a regular basis."

 
Although, I love all members of the Bush family, Doug was indeed loved the most and will be genuinely
missed. Football season will never be the same without Doug at my side providing meticulous and
sarcastic commentary that provided an abundance of laughter and great memories that will never be
forgotten.

 
In continuance, I am not one for cliché condolences... I am currently feeling extreme emotional pain,
sense of loss of a brotherly (family) figure, and even in shed of a few tears. Yet, I am certain that
my pain does not nearly amount to the unimaginable pain that is felt by the life-long blood related
Bush family members, especially Ma Bush and Ryan Bush who I fear is affected the most.

One of the last times we seen Doug with Ryan was at Rick Putts. Doug was watching Ryan from a far playing basketball. Doug said "watch, watch gosh he really likes basketball and gee he's pretty good at it too,  don't cha think he said having a big smile on his face..."  He was always happy and proud of his family and loved hanging with friends. He will be sadly missed. To the family,  you are in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely Jimmy, Ninajo and Emily Wallace.
