Im not sure if anyone here know Doug Myres, but he was one of the original founders and VP of New Media at GODGAMES. I knew him through e-mail conversations, and he was a great guy...

-----------------

Douglas Wayne Myres, Jr. September 9, 1964 – May 3, 2001 Just before midnight on May 3, 2001, GodGames lost our heart and soul, and I lost my best friend in this world for the past 4 years. Doug Myres left us suddenly and unexpectedly due to an asthma attack, at the age of 36.

Doug was quite simply the best human being I have ever known. I won’t get into all the reasons why right now, being that it’s about 6 hours after I got the phone call that I’m writing this, and I’m still very much in shock.

We will be updating this page later with thoughts and reflections on Doug from the many, many people who were touched by him, as well as details on how and when people can pay their respects to Douglas and his family.

For now, suffice it to say that Doug was the kind of person who made me want to be a better person. He was a walking, talking reason to believe in the human spirit and goodness.

Services will be held at 2PM Monday, May 7 at the Laureland Funeral Home in Ft. Worth, TX. Visitation will be Sunday night from 6 to 8 PM. For more information, contact Bob Artiz at 817-572-0196.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that anyone wishing to send something make a donation to the Friends of Ft. Worth Nature Club and Refuge or a charity of your choice in Doug's name.

For anyone out there who loved Doug and would like to attend the services, but are faced with financial difficulties in doing so, please contact me at mike@godgames.com and we'll get you here.
