Doug attended Wiscasset High School and then moved to Bath, where he became an accomplished musician. His undeniable talent and artistic ability shined through his lyrics and his extraordinary vocal expression. He was in several different groups, his earliest being Judgement Strikes and his most notorious being Blades of Indica, which he formed with his best friend Josh Crocker.
Doug is survived by his mother Leisa and stepfather Matthias Sampson; his father Roland Abbott and significant other Kris Tracy; his two beloved brothers Max and Sam; five sisters, Heather, Jamie, Mandy, Shelby and Madison; his grandparents Bill and Jackie Bailey. He is predeceased by his grandparents, Barbara and “Pucky” Abbott and grandfather L. Douglas Schmal. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews and more friends than we could list. He was loved by all.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations to be made to the Dougie Fresh Fund at The First bank, Wiscasset. Memorial arrangements are under the care of Kincer Funeral Home in Richmond, Maine.
There will be a celebration of Doug’s life as well as a memorial show in his honor. Details to follow. Any questions regarding the memorial concert, contact Josh Crocker at [email protected].
Dougie was known for his dedication, strength, courage, compassion and quiet dignity not to mention his beautiful, infectious smile we will never forget.
May he rest in peace.
