Douglas Thurgood Castleton
2/11/58-11/2/10
Our beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, nephew and grandpa passed away peacefully surrounded by his family along with his new bride and one true love, Theresa.
He was born February 11, 1958 in Salt Lake City to Grant and Anne Castleton. He was an Eagle Scout, graduated from Skyline High School and attended the University of Utah. He served an LDS Mission in Fukuoka, Japan and worked for Castleton's, Inc. His most recent venture was starting and running Seamless Flooring Systems. He loved the outdoors and was a skillful and a patient fly fisherman. Doug was known as a very hard worker and master of many trades. Doug was an avid Ute fan, golfer, hiker, and hunter. His love for his friends and family and willingness to help others endeared him to many.
He will be missed by: his wife, Theresa D. Castleton. His "5 J’s" Jason (Meghan), Jenny Borg (Brett), Jared, Jake, Jordan (McKenzie). The mother of his five children, Pam Pierce. Five grandchildren. Step Sons, Brandon Frenette (Shaunelle), Mark Frenette (Victoria), Chanse Frenette (Janelle). Three step grandchildren. His Mom and Dad. Brothers Ron (Gayle), Jon (Wendy), and preceded in death by his brother Jeff.
A private memorial service will be held in his honor on Friday, November 5, 2010.
We love you and we will miss you.
Doug was always nice and friendly to me when we were in High School,even when others weren't. I feel your lose and pray for comfort for your family.
ReplyDeleteDoug, I am sure you are fishing and hope you catch the one that got away.
ReplyDeleteI have a very fond spot in my heart for all the Castletons. They were all there when I joined the church. They knew how to befriend someone. Rest in peace Doug, you will one day be reunited.
ReplyDeleteWe at Professional Flooring Supply are deeply saddened to read of Doug's passing. He was a very skilled worker; but also a good friend and customer. We'll think of Doug every time we look down at our "Pebble Rock" floor. Our best wishes also go out to all of Doug's Family at this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteSorry we missed Brent as part of the PFS team's comments above. His feelings are mutual!
ReplyDeleteTo the 5 "J's" and Pam, Doug had a great smile...May the memory of his smile warm you like the sun. May your best memories of Doug enrich all of your days. My love to you all.

My dear, sweet loving husband and best friend. How can I ever go on without you? I knew the moment I met you that I had found my first and last love and no matter where you roam, you ARE my last love. I miss you so very much and my heart is so broken I can barely breathe. I know God will bring me through this and I will wait so very patiently until the day I can feel your arms around me once again. I know you have never felt the love that I so easily gave to you...that you so very much deserved. You believed in us, you just didn't believe in you. There will be no other, this is my promise sweetheart. We will be in touch...and when I lay myself down I will wrap your spirit around me and I will feel you forever! I love you...I love you...I love you!

ReplyDeleteSo very sorry that we lost touch with Doug the last few years. Cannot believe what has happened and we are so very sorry for the loss. He was and is so very proud of his children, what a wonderful group of kids. Doug and I had some very memorable experiences all the places that we went, but the best of all of those memories for me is that day that all the families spent on the Firehole fishing and having a peanut butter sandwich or two. We were all together as families the way that I will see us forever. Make sure that his spirit is with you, there is nobody that I know that had as many ideas as Doug. I know that I will remember Doug as one of my best friends, I am so sorry we drifted away. I know you guys will keep it going, keep the family going, go catch a fish or two for your dad, and go Utes.
I am so, so sorry
Mike, Andrea, Alex, McKay and Sofie Howard
We were so sorry to read that Doug had passed away. I do not know if he would even remember us, but I am sure Anne and Grant remember us. Please accept of deepest sympathy at this very difficult. Our thoughts and prayers and love are with all of you.
ReplyDeleteTry to remember all of the good times you had with your loved one and Rest in Peace Doug.

It cannot be put into words all that has gone on these last few days. Let's just say my 5 J's have are the best gift Doug could give me. To watch their strengh and courage, to make this family even closer, is amazing. I just pray Doug will enjoy watching from above his greatest gift from God. We will miss you, but know the Lord had a different plan for you...We will make you even more proud of this beautiful family...All my love, Pam
ReplyDeleteDear Castleton family - we were so shocked and saddened by the news that your oldest son Doug had passed away. We can't imagine the grief you must feel at the loss of another beloved son. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this most tragic time. Sincerely, Carole (Alder) and Randy McDowell
ReplyDeleteDear Grant and Anne, Ron and Gayle, Jon and Wendy, Pam and your children and grandchildren with Doug and with kind thoughts to all who loved Doug,
ReplyDeleteMy prayers and love are with each of you at this tender time. Doug was always so kind and supportive to me when Dave passed away as was all of your family. He was another one of the great Castleton men. I cherish the memories of Doug and pray that the Comforter will be with each of you today and in the future.
With our love always~
