Stewart White Douglas, 62, of Avondale Estates, Georgia passed away on February 11, 2017, at home.

He graduated from Columbia High School in 1972 and from Presbyterian College in 1976. He worked as a registered seed technologist at Hulsey Seed Lab in Avondale Estates, Georgia for many years and in recent years has enjoyed the adventure of being a courier driver transporting critical medical supplies and various time sensitive cargo for VeLOX Express.

Doug was an avid sports fan, especially pulling for GA Tech, the Atlanta Braves, and the Atlanta Falcons. He was a lifelong fan of NHRA drag racing and was knowledgeable in all sports. He was known for his trivia prowess in any subject. Music of all kinds was another passion Doug enjoyed.

He was dependable and you could always count on him to keep his word.
