On October 25, 2015, Doug married Debbie Gilbert. Doug began working for Federal Crop Insurance, then as a salesperson for McGinnis Ford in Lincoln, Beatrice Ford in Beatrice, and then Rick Honeymann Ford in Marysville. He was a member of The Pony Express Re-Riders for almost 40 years. He loved being a grandfather. He was a close friend with Jason and Donny Vculek and Timothy Coleman, considering them as his “adopted” children. Doug enjoyed his horse, dogs, spending time with friends, fishing, attending auctions, and his Ford trucks. He was preceded in death by his father, Willis Holle; grandparents, George and Edna Kruse and Ben and Martha Holle; father and mother-in-law, Leon and Alice Gilbert; brother-in-law, Chuck Butts; uncles, Don Kruse and Robert Holle; and aunts, Rosanna Scherling and Adeline Vernon.

We give thanks to God for all the blessings that He gave to Doug during his life. We especially give thanks for the greatest gift of God, the gift of the Savior Jesus Christ, so through faith in Him Doug could have the promise of life in the glory of Heaven.
