Doug Edlund, 52

On Feb. 23, 2020, God welcomed another angel home when Doug Edlund lost his battle with cancer. Doug was born on Jan. 11, 1968, in Santa Maria, Calif. In 1982 the family relocated to Spokane, Wash., where he graduated from University High School in 1986.

Doug valued family and friends above all. Once you were welcomed into his circle you were a friend for life. Doug would go out of his way to brighten someone else’s day before his own. On May 9, 1998, he had his first date with the love of his life, Kristi. They were married on Aug. 28 the following year. They were blessed with two adorable children: Paige and Charlie.

He is survived by his wife and children; his parents Chuck and Phyllis; his sister, Erika, and her three children: Amanda, Timmy and Toni; plus his extended family and numerous friends. He was preceded in death by his biological mother, Rose, and his sister, Frances. He will especially be remembered for his delicious barbecue dinners, his practical jokes and his huge heart.

A celebration of life is being held on May 2, 2020, at the Coeur d’Alene Elks Lodge, 1170 W. Prairie Ave., Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It will be an open house beginning at 4 P.M.
