Doug Collard passed away Oct. 28, 2021 at the age of 75. He had suffered from Parkinson's Disease & Lewy Body Dementia for the past 3+ yrs. He passed with his family and an angel of a care giver, Craig, around him.
Doug came to the United States at the age of 5 with his family from Canada and settled in Burbank, CA. He graduated from Burbank High School in 1964 and joined the U.S. Marines in August 1965. He did 2 tours in Vietnam between 1966 and 1968, but before first tour, he married his high school sweetheart, Cindy on December 7, 1965. He graduated from CSUN with a BS degree in Anthropology. In 1978, he started his career with the phone company, transferred to Humboldt County in 1994 and retired in 2005. Doug then got his Real Estate License and enjoyed doing that for about three years, when he qualified for 100% disabled veteran and retired completely.
He leaves behind his high school sweetheart, Cindy, his children Bernie (wife Suzie), Jaime (husband Randy), Jessica, & Douglas (significant other Meghan), sister-in-laws Cathy (Shorty) & Dolly Sue, sister Debbie (friend Art) and 2 nieces (Tita & Stef) as well as 3 nephews (Joey, Jason, & Travis), 4 grandchildren (Kayla, Brieanna, Mason, & Mackenzie) & 8 great grandchildren.
