DOUGLAS HARRY DEPREZ (DOUG)

Condolences & Memories (30 entries)

• When I received the call from Ryan I was stunned speechless. How could someone as amazing as Doug be gone? It just didn’t seem possible. When Jack retired from Investors and Doug took over he would come to our house on a regular basis, have coffee with my parents and share a lot of good laughs as well as dole out rock solid financial guidance. Doug was a regular visitor to my parents’ home, and not just a financial advisor to my parents; he was a friend. When my brother Bruce, then my dad Jim and my mother Sharon passed, Doug was there for us. His kind words, smile, jokes with us all are still with me to this day. I was able to see Doug coach Ryan into the advisor and friend he has become today. Because of Doug’s abilities and honesty I have come to trust Ryan implicitly. I can see a lot of Doug in Ryan, and that makes me glad. To the family: I am terribly sorry that I was not able to attend Doug’s funeral but please know that his legacy is with me, firmly displayed on my refrigerator for all to see. In duplicate (Ryan can tell you the story should you be interested, and it’s worth the listen!) My love to you all as you begin to move forward in life without the man who was indeed greater in life as well as in stature. It is rare to meet a man taller than myself but Doug was certainly that. I love you, Doug. Cameron - Posted by: Cameron Switzer (Friend of the Family) on: Mar 18, 2022

• Our sincere condolences to Vicki and Family on your loss. We have such fond memories of Doug. When we moved into the neighborhood Doug was the first one to welcome us. After that we were welcomed like family. He was larger than life and had such a great sense of humor. He deeply loved his family and those around him. Sadly he passed away too young, but those around him and us were fortunate to have spent the time we did with him. - Posted by: Scott and Carolyn Isbister (Friends ) on: Mar 16, 2022

• I am saddened to learn of Doug's passing. Growing up in Stony Mountain I got to know Doug and the Deprez family quite well. Just like all the Deprez family Doug was a kind, generous and caring person. As my next door neighbor, Doug and I shared more than a few beers and we always had great conversations. When Doug was studying to be a financial planner he called me one day to ask if I had any advice since I was already in the investment business. I recall saying to Doug that the most important part of this field of work is integrity and that he already had plenty of that ingrained in him by his parents. To Rod, Don, Laurie, David, Leanne and Lindy, my thoughts and prayers are with you. To Vicky, Ryan and Jenna my heart goes out to you and I hope your sorrows are soon replaced with fond memories of your Dad and husband. - Posted by: Tony Reznik (Friend) on: Mar 13, 2022

• Doug and I were in the same classroom for 8 school years before heading off to SCI...I knew his parents, brothers and cousins as I lived in Stony Mountain for 18 years...as young children we had our spats and pranks in school and of course we had the same friends....I have thought about Doug throughout my life and wondered, as I did with all my classmates, how he was doing. I am very saddened by his passing....he will stay in my heart and mind as a young and often outspoken young man who excelled in sports and always had friends and family around him. Rest in peace Doug and joyful reunions with your family. .... my best wishes of peace and healing to his family. - Posted by: Lorna Lowe (childhood friend) on: Mar 12, 2022
