A Memorial to Douglas Steven Kruger

A Special Tribute to a Legend

Doug was a classmate of Rachelle's who passed away on August 26, 1997.  He was involved in a car crash in Jasper in which he was thrown from his truck.  Doug, like Rachelle, was a very warm-hearted, sweet individual.  He loved baseball and was a member of the Jasper High School State Champion teams of 1996 and 1997.  His baseball jersey number, 14, has not been worn by another Jasper player since his death.

He is, indeed, both loved and missed.

When Doug smiled at you, it was hard not to smile back.

Doug would grin sheepishly at this statement, but he'd love to be remembered like this.
