  13. Leigh Ann and Family,

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so sorry for your loss. Doug was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed.

  14. I will never forget the first Sunday that the Boatwright family visited Alsbury. I was leading worship and looked out to my left and near the front was this beautiful family worshipping God together. It seems like a refreshment to my soul to see Doug, Leigh Ann and the kids beginning their new journey with the ABC church family. Through the remainder of my years on staff at ABC, Doug was a constant source of encouragement and love. He had a way of making others feel love and welcome. I also will never forget his amazing participation in our Alsbury Follies Talent Show. Leigh Ann and kids. Kim and I love you so much and we are praying for you.

  15. We love you all and share in your grief over the loss of our sweet, funny, goofy friend, Doug. You just can’t help but smile when you think of him. Everyone who knew him was blessed by his sense of humor. We know how proud he was of his children and grandson and what a wonderful, loving husband he has been to Leigh Ann. We were privileged to have you in our lives and will miss you so much Doug, but we WILL see you again. Until then, we know you’ll keep the angels laughing! Jimmy and Mary

  17. Sorry for the family’s loss, heavens gain. My Father’s house has many rooms. I am sorry I never got the chance to know him but I have heard what a wonderful person he was and always had a smile.

  18. 1Timothy 6:11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
    Doug set the bar for every man since the Apostle Paul charged Timothy to live righteously, with faith, love and endurance. Thanks my friend for being a Godly example for me, your friends, your wife and family.

  19. Such a total shock to learn of Doug’s passing. I worked with Doug at Lockheed for several years and he always brightened my day when he came around.

    talents. When he was in between jobs,he and Warren worked on our townhouse…its still standing..
    Jan did enjoy Doug’s wit as did I..

  30. My condolences to the family for their loss. Doug was a great guy that was always smiling anytime i saw him. He will be greatly missed.

  31. Doug was one of the funniest, sweetest men I have ever known. When I met Doug and Leigh Ann over 20 years ago, I admired their relationship and what a gentleman Doug always was. He was an awesome man of Faith as well. You can’t help but smile anytime you think of him.
    We will miss him terribly until we get to see him in heaven. My love and sympathy to you all. Praying for you!

  32. Candle in the wind…Dougs life lit up our corner of the earth for a short time with his wit, charm, and love for his friends. We joked about Doug being the “Mayor” of Lockheed; He knew everyone and everyone knew and loved him. When we asked Doug how he was doing, his answer was always “we are so blessed, brother”. Dougs blessings were not the material kind, but his wife, family and friends who loved him. We are the ones who were blessed to know you. Love ya, mean it.

  33. Doug was a special man and his passing has left a huge void for everyone here at Lockheed who knew him….Doug never knew a stranger.
    Working next to Doug, I learned that the most important thing to him was his love for his family and the Lord. Leigh Ann, DJ, Kennedy, Madison, and Carter -Your husband and father loved you guys more than you will ever know – he talked about you everyday.
    Doug – you were not just my cube mate, YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND. To use one of your favorite sayings, I would like to say – “LOVE YOU – MEAN IT”

  34. I’m sorry to say that I did not know Doug that well but the few times that I was in his presence my world was a better place. The love for his family and his faith and love in Jesus was an inspiration to me. We had a few talks about the important thing in life and I am convinced that those that Believe will once again be blessed by his presence. May GOD’s peace and comfort be felt by his family and his many friends.

  35. To the Boatright Family, I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this tragic time. Doug was the most caring person I have ever met. He was always there for you with friendship. If you needed help he was the first to offer. That’s who he was, a friend to all. He will be missed greatly.

  36. oh wow this has come to a shock to me. He was a great great great person to be friends with. I’m so so sorry he passed away ill miss him we were good friends. Babs will be missed.

  37. I hope his family knows how proud he was of them because I didn’t work with him but a couple years but that’s what I remember . He was always quick to grin and ready for any task , what a awesome man !

  38. My condolences Doug’s family. I lost a great friend and co-worker. He will be remembered with affection. Rest in peace.

  39. Those we love left us gifts in the form of precious memories that will live on forever in our hearts and wisdom that we can still recall. These are the things that shall live on forever in our hearts. May the God of all comfort become your refuge and strength during this most difficult time. (Psalm 46:1)Please accept our sincere condolences.

  40. When my family of 5 moved to Everman Texas 40 plus years ago another family by the name of Boatright also moved to Everman. Can’t remember for sure just how we met but pretty sure it was at First Baptist Church of Everman. The dad Ed Boatright was in the Air Force and his dear wife Nan and their two boys settled in Everman.
    Nan didn’t drive at the time and with two growing sons who were close to the ages of my two boys playing sports together every week, Tuesdays and Thursdays at first then through High School years, Marsha and I picked Nan up and sometimes Doug at first and drove all over the greater Fort Worth area to go to the many ball games to see our boys play ball. That went on until 1975 when my son Kenny and Nan’s oldest son Warren graduated high school. Doug was the youngest of our boys and he graduated a couple of years later.

    Doug was always so full of life, happy, friendly, just like another son for me and his older brother Warren trusted me enough to let me teach him how to drive. Our families went thru all these years knowing, caring and loving each other just like “kin” folks do. Even Tommie and Ed became good friends as they both umpired baseball and then became football officials. When the Boatright boys got married I had their wedding showers in my home on Deer Creek. Over the years I watched with much love and caring all our boys and Marsha grow into wonderful young people, becoming married, becoming parents, and becoming mature adults that love God and country.

    Douglas Alan Boatright moved from this earth today right into his home in heaven to be in the very presence of Jesus his Saviour! W O W!

    We’ll all miss Doug, a fine Godly, Christian son, husband father and friend.

    Heavenly father, please wrap your loving arms around Doug’s family and give them courage and strength to face each day and to love you more dearly and to continue to serve You each day.

    I love you all!

  41. Doug was one of the wittiest, classiest, Guys I’ve ever known. His Dad (Ed) was an Umpire and Referee when I played Baseball, and Football in Everman as a kid. Doug always greeted you with a smile and something funny. My Prayers go out to his Wife and Kids, and extended Family. Somewhere in Heaven, Doug is looking down on all of us smiling and saying one of his favortie Phrases- Love You Mean It, I believe.

  42. It has been a long time since I have seen his smiling face but just the thought of Doug always brings a smile to my face. Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in eternal peace!
    Greg Isaac

  43. Words cannot express what a wonderful friend, co-worker, and accountability partner that Doug was. I know that right now he is with the angels and making them laugh with this wit and charm. To the family, please know that you will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Who would have known that the last words I would hear him speak as we left work on Tuesday night was one of his favorite sayings, “Love ya, mean it!” We’ll see each other again some day, brother…”Love ya, mean it!”

  44. It has truely been an honor to have had the privilge of knowing Doug! From the day that we met many years ago I have always felt of him not as a co-worker but as my brother. He was right in that we are blessed, blessed to have had him in our lives! I know that this is a terrible loss for us all, especially for Leigh Ann, Kennedy, Madison and Carter but please rest assured that Doug has not left our daily lives but now resides within our hearts and will continue to be a part of us all. Love you all!

    What an incredibly sad day it is…learning of Doug’s recent passing. Through the years hearing how happy Doug was, how proud he was of his family, was always up lifting good news. One always wants the best for an individual as deeply caring, and kind as Doug was. I hope Doug knew the impact he had on so many of us, how much joy he gave to those who knew him, and for those of us who knew him in high school, what a rock he was to our close-knit class. I just looked through my high school momentos and reread a note Doug wrote about finding his “Stairway to Heaven” (our Senior class song). I have no doubt he found it and bounded right up into our Father’s loving arms, hesitating only in the concern for his beloved family he left behind.

    May God’s reassurance and love wrap you all in his comfort. I send my deepest condolences to Doug’s family, heart felt prayers are with you.What an incredibly sad day it is…learning of Doug’s recent passing.
