Douglas married his high school sweetheart, Colleen Slater, on August 17, 1955 in the Salt Lake Temple. He worked as a Journeyman Lineman for over 40 years and was a member of the IBEW for 60 years. His greatest joy came from serving his wife, family, and others.

He loved to attend the temple and found great joy in serving there, particularly performing sealings. Douglas held numerous ward and stake callings throughout his life. One of his favorite callings was that of a Church Service Missionary with his wife at the Provo MTC, where they served for over 5 years. He was active in the community, serving on the City Council, C.I.A., and in various youth sports programs.
