RIP, Douglas E. Stockton, USMA 1970, C-2:
Home At Last
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2nd Timothy 4:7
At 2:00 a.m. Saturday July 7, 2012 Douglas Edward Stockton Jr., our beloved father, adoring husband, and devoted son and brother left his weary physical body and walked into the loving arms of his Savior Jesus Christ who was waiting for him on the other side of the Door.
Surrounded by his family Doug courageously fought for the past 4 days to win the victory in this earthly realm. God had other plans for him. Doug was not in pain but waited for his brother and sister to arrive from out of state before going to heaven 1 hour after their arrival. We felt so blessed by his gift of waiting for them.
We would like to give thanks to each of you for your heartfelt prayers, hugs, food, cards and most of all your friendship and support during these most difficult months. A celebration of Doug's life will be held at St. Peter's United Methodist Church probably on Thursday, July 12, 2012*. This would have been Doug and Merrilynn's 32nd wedding anniversary. Doug always said 12 was his lucky number. Service details will be posted when they have been finalized.
In lieu of flowers donations to the St Peter's building fund in Doug's memory would be appreciated.
Love to all of you, Merrilynn, Zack, Katie and Jenny Stockton
Update:
