Douglas Lewis Freeman was born November 20,1940 in Toronto, Ontario and passed away peacefully in Camrose, Alberta on August 22, 2024 with family by his side. 

Doug leaves to mourn his wife Veronica, daughter Kim (Ken), son Shane, grandchildren Jen (Wes), Christine (Sam) and Derek (Karla), great grandchildren Cooper, Blake and Laila.  He also leaves to mourn stepdaughter, whom he cherished deeply, Jackie (Bruce), stepson Del (Diana), step grandchildren Tiffany (Cole), Brett (Helen), Spencer, Ryker, Zander and step great-grandchildren Avery, Addy and Freddy as well as many other extended family members. 

Doug spent 30 years in the Canadian Armed Forces working in a variety of fields including search and rescue and upon his retirement air traffic control. Upon retiring he went into the private sector.  One of his passions was playing bridge and looked forward to his weekly bridge games at the Senior’s Center.  Doug also loved to go the casino and often would come home a winner. When he wasn’t at the casino or bridge club, he was playing video games and staying up to date on all things computers. Many knew of his witty sense of humor and that he knew what to say, when to say it and when to just say “Have a nice day”. 

Doug was predeceased by his first wife Gale in 2011, Mother Hilda in 2012 and Father Ray in 1989.

Private family service will be held at a later date.  In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Alberta Cancer Foundation or charity of one’s choice.
