I send my sincere condolences to the Bearden family. I served with Doug at Clark Air Base. He was a great air traffic controller, a wonderful leader and a really good friend. I enjoyed playing golf and sharing many laughs with him. Good speed, Doug

My prayers and love to Jean and the Bearden family in their grief and loss. May you find solace in the discovery of the many ways Doug remains with you.

My prayers are for the Bearden family. Mr. Bearden was a great man. I looked forward to seeing him and getting to speak to him for a few minutes as much I did playing golf. His great smile and friendly way were infectious and he always knew my name and as soon as I heard it, I knew it was coming from a good friend. I will truly miss him. The Memorial Service showed how much love so many had for him.

I had the pleasure of growing up playing golf at Bacon Park and being around Doug. He was always kind, happy hearted and a pleasure to be around. Doug will be truly missed. Rest in Peace my friend.

Dear Bearden Family, I am very sorry for your loss. Prayers for strength and peace during this difficult time.

I barely knew Doug ... only from dealing with him at Bacon Park. He was always extra friendly and took the time to smile and chat for a minute or two. Strange things sometimes stick in ones mind, but I remember him fixing our hot dogs and never forgetting I wanted onions. I feel very badly for losing a really nice guy!!!

- Joe Caruso, Savannah, GA

My deepest sympathies for your loss Jean and Brandon. I always enjoyed spending time with Doug whether we were working the Bacon Park clubhouse together, playing golf, or enjoying a game of poker. He was truly a pleasure to be around. I will miss him dearly. RIP Doug.

I spoke with Doug on Saturday at the Wilmington Wishes Tournament held at the Westin. He will be greatly missed by all. Bacon Park will not be quite the same without him. My sympathies to his family.

- Liam OSullivan, Port Wentworth, Ga

Doug was a wonderful friend to all who knew him. He had a ready smile and dry wit. He loved his family and was very proud of them. He loved his many friends and took interest in their lives. He was a blessing to all who knew him and we will miss him so very much.

- Bobbie and Frank Stephens, Savannah, GA

I can't believe Doug is gone. We spent many an hour working together in the Bacon Park Clubhouse. Doug was very proud of his chicken salad and Tuna salad. Great person and great friend. The Bacon Park clubhouse will never be the same. My condolences to Jean and Brandon. Rest in peace Doug.

- John Conner, Savannah, Ga

I met Doug when we were stationed together at Moody AFB in 1982. He was a great friend and mentor to my wife Jodie and I as we were just entering the Air Force. I will never forget the great times we had on the golf course and Jodie still calls Doug her favorite dance partner. We love you Doug. God speed old friend. Joe and Jodie Shiver

I can't believe Doug is gone. I just played golf with him on Friday, and, in Doug fashion, he birdied the first two holes. He was a great golfer and a great person. He was a good friend. I will miss him greatly. Tony Montford
