Douglas Alan Stover

Prayers for his fsmily and everyone who knew this man Thank You for all the great memories for the last 23 years You helped me so many times with legal and personal issues I will miss you my friend

Doug was simply one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I’ve known. He smiled through everything and he was welcoming to everyone. We were fellow alumni from Lansing Community College, we attended many classes together. I have been a fellow co-worker/friend of his for nearly 28 years. I feel a big hole in my heart. He will be dearly missed.

Doug was one of my first buddies in kindergarten , we also played football together throughout all our school years at Holt. You will be missed my friend and may God watch over Doug’s family in the upcoming time ahead!

I knew Doug from our neighborhood growing up on Sycamore. We spent countless hours playing in our backyards, ball games, pool time, kick the can, you name it. We also walked/rode to school together from First Grade through High School and he was like a brother to me-someone I could talk to about anything. People change, we move in separate directions, but I always thought of Doug when I would drive or walk in the old neighborhood. Prayers for you Frank, Kim and Sarah, Jenny and Randy during this difficult time. May God hold you close and support and guide you.

Doug was our nephew & we are so sad to hear of his sudden passing. Praying for Frank, Kim, Jennifer & Randy. May God help all of you through this trying time. We will miss him.

I had the privilege of knowing Doug for years. He will be missed.
Rest in Heaven

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Doug’s passing.
I was lucky to meet Doug when he was teaching Assessor classes for the State of Michigan.
I hadn’t talked to Doug in a long time but was able to talk with him just after he retired from Ingham County and feel fortunate to have had that opportunity.
Prayers to Doug’s family. I know Heaven greeted him with open arms.

I have the privilege and honor of having Doug as a student in my Sixty Plus Elderlaw Clinic. During that time my staff and I established what would be a long-term professional and personal relationship. We could never get enough of Doug, his intellect and sense of humor. He continued with the Clinic after graduation and became the standard bearer of training for our students concerning deeds and property law. Doug is one of those individuals who left all of us better for the experience. No one can know Doug and ever leave him as his ability to find the best in people and through him, feel good about themselves. When I think of Doug I smile as do all my staff. It is hard to believe that we will no longer experience the love and affection he would emanate towards those fortunate enough to be touched by him. Doug, if you are watching, I hope I didn’t “mutilate” this message. (Private joke with a smile.) We miss you already. Sixty Plus Staff

I feel blessed to have known Doug. He was one of the funniest, kind hearted, and supportive person I have ever known. I am very sad and will miss him.

Condolences on the death of your son and brother Doug. We are in laws of Tom Stover. May God, your family and friends help your family through this time of sorrow.

Doug was a friend and neighbor of our children for several years who spent many hours at our home in Holt at he went through school and high school with our son Mike. Our thought and prayers are with you Frank and your family with your loss of Douglas. I am sorry that we be unable to attend the memorial service on Thursday for Douglas.

Horrible news. Doug I will miss your laugh most of all, I think. I can still hear it. What a smart, funny, stubborn and handsome man you were! You packed quite a bit into your 54 years. Wish I had more time to hear your stories and take your counsel my friend. Miss you already.

Doug is my oldest 1st cousin whom my last memory of seeing him in person was in our Grandma and Grandpa Stovers backyard riding his Rupp minibike. R.I.P. Jesus Loves You!! Take care Uncle Frank and family.

It is clear by the wide background of people signing this guestbook that Doug was appreciated and loved by a great many people. For my part, Doug was my friend and to have Doug as a friend was to have someone that was always solidly in your corner. There was no grey area. Douglas my friend, I love you and I will miss you!

I met Doug several years ago in our condo building, where he served as President of the Association. A strong leader, he loved and cared for our building, and could nip a problem in the bud like nobody else. At first he and I butted heads. But over time we became friendly and I enjoyed talking with him about our building and local issues. At our last co-owners meeting we teased him about the rumor that he was a CIA agent in his youth. He got a big kick out of that! (maybe there’s truth to that rumor?) Agent 00 Doug, you’ll be missed.

With Doug there was always a smile and burst humor in the room. He would always take time to answer queations and share his knowledge and experiance.. He will always live on in the hearts of those in our profession. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family

Our deepest sympathies from the the Cooley Law School family for our alumnus Douglas. We are proud of your achievements and to call you ours. Memory eternal and condolences to the family.

Doug was my hero. From growing up three houses down from him on Sycamore Street, to he nearly killing me running the football in a hamburger drill. He looked after a little guy in a big man’s game. Kind, smart and fierce, a great man. My last memory of him was playing pool at The Landshark a thousand years ago, talking about our journey in the world. I am so sorry he is gone, his kind does not come around often. My best to the family.

When I was a new cadet at the Air Force Academy, Doug was in a position to train us. He was not only a great trainer, but one who, not “commanded” (that is too harsh) but “earned” our respect. I have to say he was one of the best leaders, ever. I hadn’t spoken with him since the Academy days, but really missed him then. Miss him much more now.
