Doug was born on February 19, 1959 to the late Al Junior Paige and Jane Ellen O’Conner Paige in Marks. He lived a fulfilling life filled with love for his work and his family. Doug’s career as a gravel truck driver for MDOT showed his strong work ethic, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew him. Outside of work and family, Doug found great joy in being outdoors, whether he was hunting or fishing.

His industrious nature was balanced by his deep love for his family. He cherished moments spent with loved ones and was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, and friend to many.

Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his siblings, Patricia Wood, Laverne Red, Bill Red, Jimmy, and his twin sisters, Baby Girl Jane and Baby Girl Kathy.
