Journal entry by Brendan Meyer —
Hello everyone,
Thanks to all of you that attended Doug’s services over the last week, and to all of you who were not able to make it but reached out, which was a shocking amount of people given how many we ended up having in attendance! It was seriously incredible to see that many people come together with the common goal of celebrating and mourning the one and only Dougie Fresh.
My mom, my siblings, and I, all very much appreciate your love and support, not only this week, but throughout the course of the last 15 months.
I also wanted to provide additional information for those of you asking about donations. If you would like to make a donation in honor of my dad, we ask that donations be sent to the Glioblastoma Research Organization (https://www.gbmresearch.org/donate)
Once you hit the above link, you can follow the steps listed here below on how to make a donation:
When making a donation, please click on the “Dedicate my donation in memory of someone” and write my dad’s name. In the person to notify section, please write Karla Meyer as the recipient and then click “notify this person by mail” as notifying by email is finicky. Her address is 14140 Blue Bay Circle, Fort Myers, FL. 33913.
Additionally, many of you have asked for the slideshows that were shown at my dad’s services. Please use the links below to view them as they are private (not searchable) on YouTube:
