Doug was raised by godly parents who instilled in him the understanding of the need for a saving faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and a reverence for and devotion to the Lord. His faith permeated all areas of his life, including business matters and all relationships. Doug never compromised his biblical convictions and he shared his wisdom with his children, helping them understand how to navigate life decisions. Even in his last months and days of life, he found peace in prayer, reading his Bible and glorifying his Savior, especially in the tune and words of an old familiar hymn. He was ready to go “home” and spend eternity with his Lord and Savior.
Left to celebrate his life are his children, Donavon (Kiki) Gloude of Chaska, MN, Delsie (Alan) Baxter of Minneapolis, MN and David (Keely) Gloude of Ladera Ranch, CA; eight grandchildren, Chelsey, Ian (Chaley), Colin, Daniel, Karli, Emma, Aleck and Gavin and great-grandchildren, Oliver, Isabella, Violet, Oaklan and Sage.
Doug was preceded in death by his parents, Nelson and Rose (Deck) Gloude; wife, Doris Mae and son, Duan Edward Gloude.
