Douglas was born August 19, 1918 in Montpelier, Idaho, the son of Lawrence A. and Vernell Bridges Malone. After working throughout his youth on the family ranch, he married Ruth Donna Johnson on August 4, 1937. Their marriage was solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple on April 30, 1964. They were blessed with six children. After the passing of his dear, eternal companion in 1982, Douglas met and married Caryol Browning Davis on July 28, 1984. She blessed his life for 16 wonderful years. Douglas worked many jobs, the most notable being five years in Alaska where he welded and mined gold on the side. Anyone that has heard his stories of bears and the back country, knows that he lived his life with a thirst for adventure and fun. He retired in 1984 from Associated Piping and Engineering, after 16 years of being a welder and foreman. He was also a proud member of Local 348 of the Plumbers and Steamfitters. He always enjoyed trap shooting, horses, motorcycles, and being in the mountains. He was a veteran of World War II serving with the U.S. Navy. Douglas was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints where he served in many callings including a Stake Mission, Bishopric 2nd Counselor, and High Priest Group Leadership. In 1986, he and Caryol served a faithful genealogy mission in Salt Lake City. They also enjoyed regular visits to the temple. In 1994, Douglas and Caryol moved to Malad, Idaho where they made many friends. He will always be remembered for the testimony he carried and his personal relationship he had with his Savior. Dad, we will always have fond memories of how you loved to tease, and of your wonderful sense of humor, the countless hunting trips, and the way you loved and accepted everyone know matter what their station in life was. He is survived and will be deeply missed by his wife, Caryol, five sons and one daughter, Lonnie J. Malone, Ogden; Michael D. (Rhea) Malone, West Haven; Craig A. (Karen) Malone, Roy; Vicki (Ben) Weatherford, Hampton, Virginia; Kurt D. (Cindy) Malone, Southlake, Texas; Matt D. (Kathy) Malone, Hooper; 21 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.
