On January 3, 2025, Doug peacefully passed away, surrounded by his family, at Salem Hospital in Salem, Oregon. He was born June 1, 1939, in Oregon City, Oregon, to parents Elwin and Edith Littlejohn.

Doug graduated in 1957 from Willamina High School. In 1964, he received a Bachelor of Science in Education from Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon. He played football throughout these years, and continued to be a lifetime fan. He was an ardent advocate of Scholastic Sports Programs.
