Doug Wright, a friend of mine and one of my favorite professors at Westminster College, has died following a battle with cancer. He was 57.
No ceremony or service will be held for Doug. Instead, Doug asked that any show of support to him following his death be directed to the hungry or homeless.
I was going to write something about how inspirational Doug was, or what a great friend and teacher he was, but I can't. I simply don't have the energy to. Besides, Doug would have probably objected to being gushed over, and instead told me to go sit outside and enjoy the day.
But I can at least say this: Doug was an amazing person, and he changed the lives of everyone he met. Westminster College is less for having let him go before he died, and we're all less for not having him around anymore.
