R. McEwen

KAYSVILLE - R. McEwen, 30, loving husband and father passed away

Friday at his home with his wife at his side after a short, but courageous

battle against Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). Though we will never

understand why he was taken so soon, we know that Doug has gone to a much

better place and suffers no more.

Born McEwen on October 28, 1968 in Hayward, California, he was

the first child of LeGrande McEwen and Kaye (Weaver) McEwen. He moved

to his parents' home state of Utah when he was three and has lived in the

Kaysville area all his life, except for two years spent in British Columbia,

Canada, serving an LDS mission.

Growing up he loved to spend time with family and friends and enjoyed hunting,

motor biking, tennis, golf, and basketball. He was active in Scouting;

attaining Order of the Arrow. He graduated from High School and HS

Seminary in 1986. Doug worked two full-time jobs to pay for the mission that

he loved. He served in British Columbia, Canada from April 1989 until May

1991. Doug will always be known for his thoughtfulness and acceptance towards

others. He had many good friends with whom he enjoyed spending time with. His

acts of kindness will not soon be forgotten, nor will his reputation of being

a hard working and honest man.

On March 23, 1995 he married the former Tracie Louise Bernard in the Salt Lake

Temple for all time and eternity. They shared two beautiful daughters, Sharon

and Rilee. Doug adored his two " little princesses " and loved spending time

with both of them more than anything else on this earth. He was a kind and

loving husband as well as father, son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew,

cousin and friend. Doug worked for Acosta Sales, Inc. until August 1998,

resigning when the disease began taking it's toll on him.

Doug's wife and children want to express their gratitude and appreciation for

the people from Vistacare Hospice who helped care for and support Doug. We

will be forever thankful to , Pat, , Bob, Shauna, and Kathy

for their compassion, professionalism and caring ways. Also, a thank you to

all of our friends who have stood by us during this time.

He is survived by his wife Tracie and two little girls, Sharon Louise and

Rilee Sara of Kaysville. Also surviving are his mother Kaye McEwen and

grandmother Caryol Weaver, both of Kaysville; brothers, Mark (Janalynn) McEwen

of Clearfield; Elder McEwen, currently serving in the San Pablo

Philippines LDS mission; sister, Kachelle () of Layton; mother and
