On Tuesday, October 2, 2018, Doug went home to his heavenly Father.
He will be so deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his wife, Loretta (Prins), and his children: Tara and Derek Boonstra (Kase and Arie); Leanne Monsma and Ben Lindemulder; and Erin and Matthew Hollingsworth (Henrietta).
Doug will also be remembered by his father, Bud (Claudia) Monsma; his mother, Rita Vandenberg; his brother, Greg (Joy) Monsma; his sister, Gayle Monsma; his in-laws: Corinne (Joe) Baier; Wayne (Leah) Prins; Joan (Jason) VanDoesburg; Darrell Prins; Arlene (Randy) Kuzyk; Philip (Ingrid) Prins; Charles Prins; and Catharine (Mike) Rozendaal; numerous nieces, nephews and other family members; and friends.
Doug loved Jesus and reflected God's unrelenting love on all those around him. He was wise, humble, kind, and witty. Doug's desire in life was to help others develop a sincere and meaningful relationship with God and he did great work furthering God's kingdom on earth.
A visitation will be held at the family home on Friday, October 5, 2018 from 6:30 to 8:30 in the evening.
