Doug Dague Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 4, 2018.

Douglas "Doug" Allen Dague – Born July 27, 1951 – Passed on December 31, 2017 in Phoenix, AZ. Doug lived his life by his own rules and walked to the beat of his own drum. To know him even briefly, you discovered a new sense of humor and appreciation for the off color and impractical. His laugh was bigger than life. It was one of the most contagious laughs that started at his toes and radiated out through his entire body. It didn't matter if you were a part of the joke, understood the joke, or even if the joke was at your expense, you couldn't help but laugh with him. His smile, was equally contagious, regardless if it was a simple smile passing by, or one that you knew he was up to something mischievous, you couldn't help but smile as well. He had a love for anything outdoors. Doug and his wife Linda, enjoyed everything from fishing, hunting, boating, 4x4 riding, camping and riding his Harley together. Doug worked for APS for 40+ years and retired in 2009. His children and grandchildren brought an amazing new love to his life. A love that changed him in many ways and all for his highest calling. They each filled his heart with love like no other. He was proceeded in death by his mother, Dorothy Lee Dague in 1989, his father, Claude McKinley Dague in 2000 and his granddaughter Lauren Tyler Hession in 1997. He is survived by his wife Linda Jean (Lomax) Dague of 28 years of marriage, but they have been together since 1982, his sister Vicki Ann Shields, 5 children: Kyle McKinley Dague, Tracy Lee Dague-Martin, Jamie Brown, Jodi Brown-Hession, and Michael Brown, 22 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. He will be truly missed, but will live on in our hearts forever. We celebrate with him knowing, his Mom, Dad & his granddaughter Lauren were there waiting to welcome him home, with open arms and we are sure they are catching up, with lots of laughter and enjoying many pints of haagen daz together. Visitation will be on January 10, 2018 at 11:00am following the Funeral service at 12:00pm located at Chapel of Chimes Mortuary in Glendale, AZ. Committal service will be at 1:00pm located at Resthaven Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, AZ. For more information or to leave a tribute to Doug please visit www.chapelofthechimesmortuary.com

Dad, I was truly blessed to have you as my father. The talks we had and the laughs we shared, I will cherish in my heart always. I know that You are with our Heavenly Father where you have no more pain, no more tears, where peace and glory are yours. Although we are separated for a season, one glorious day we will be together again. Until then, I will rejoice knowing you are dancing like David danced. Love, your daughter Tracy

It seems surreal Dad. We were just talking and now your gone? God has his reasons, I'm sure. I miss you already and don't want to face it. However you taught me a lot, and I know I can. It feels like I lost one of the last people I had to talk too, and confide in. You were such an amazing person, you never judged, I could tell you anything. That I will miss the most!

My Uncle Doug...Everything from his candid nature to his contagious smile, laughter and love are the most memorable for all of us that had the blessed opportunity to know him.

Uncle Doug, everything that is you will always be remembered and rejoiced with heartfelt memories in my heart and the hearts of so many.

I love you, and everything we experienced together as a family. The love will never subside.

My Dad was always there for me. He was always able to make me laugh and always told me that I could talk to him about anything. He was a good man!

He loved the outdoors, and I will always think of him when I'm in the mountains. He had T-shirts made - on the front it said, "Save the Forest", then on the back it said, "So, our grandkids can't use it either" :) I will miss him dearly. Thank you to everyone who came to honor my Dad's memory and for your comments.

Thank you Linda for being such a wonderful and understanding wife to my Dad. I mean who takes their wife on a "Huntingmoon" after they get married? My Dad, that's who:)

From the way you stood in your signature stance,
with your legs crossed at the ankles,
to your full body laugh that was loud and full of life;
From your twisted sense of humor
to the look in your eye when you thought or spoke about something that you truly loved,
you were a true original.
There will never be anyone quite like you.
You will be missed here forever, but you will live on in our hearts for eternity.
I love you Uncle Doug, today, tomorrow and always.
Godspeed to you. Until we meet again.

So sorry to hear. Doug was a friend for life. Grew up with Doug and always had the time of our life. That smile says it all. Rest in Peace Doug... Your friend Chuck
