Douglas E. Quick died at his home in Clarksville, Tennessee on November 8, 2016, due to complications from cancer. He was 67 years old.
Doug, son of Max and Alma Quick, was born in Clarksville on June 27, 1949. He graduated from Clarksville High School and attended Austin Peay State University. A U.S. Navy veteran, he served aboard the USS Hancock (CVA-19) and the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) from 1969 to 1970.
Before retirement, Mr. Quick worked as a radiology technician/supervisor at various hospitals in Nashville and Atlanta. He enjoyed the outdoors, skeet shooting, the good company of his many friends and the devotion of all those rescue dogs who were his constant companions.
Doug is survived by his sister, Lucinda Q. Vogelei (Robert Vogelei) of Marietta, Georgia.
His family would like to express special thanks to Doug’s loyal friends for their care and attention, especially during the last few years.
A “celebration of life” gathering will be held at a date to be determined. If you would like to make a donation in Doug’s memory, please contribute to the Nashville Humane Association (nashvillehumane.org).
