Hello. For those who do not know me, I am a close family friend, Brittney Moore. My husband is Justin "Bubba" Moore who was one of many close friends to Doug Krahn. "BUBBA" And I were honored to have Doug as a witness at our wedding along side his boy, "Bubba" as a groomsmen.

The goal to relieve financial burden to help the family is $2,500 for this will cover all costs and anything over that goal will be placed into college accounts Douggies kiddos. let's work together to accomplish this goal.

It is with shattered hearts that we share that

Douglas Monte Krahn Jr has passed away.

5/4/1983 - 2/21/26

His family and friends are somehow are making it through each new day on earth without their Son, big brother, nephew, friend and Dad- and we truly don't know how other than God's grace, mercy and strength! Family and friends are absolutely devastated. Heartbroken. Shattered.

Amy shares that her Brother was the definition of a big brother. He lived life right by her side. He tought her to be tough while demonstrating patience, kindness, empathy, grace and generosity. If she ever told him she needed him, she never once had to wonder if he would show up. He always did. Always.

No matter what season of life he was in, he was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back. He was genuinely confused when others chose to be unkind or mean-spirited. That was his heart. That was who he was.

Amy and her family cannot begin to imagine this world without him in it. Her life without my big brother to share laughs, tears, advice and unwavering support feels impossible right now. And his Mother, Melanie, is crushed with no words just tears and a shattered heart. She truly doesn't even know how to feel. Her sons death is more pain than she ever expected to bear. His Father, Doug, is silent at this time learning a life without his son absolutely crushed and heartbroken Doug's Ex-Wife, Erynn, who remained great friends and the mother to his 2 sons, Monte and Micah, is so frustrated and lost in trying to express emotions. Everyone and anyone in the family extended to close friends are at a loss of words and unsure how to feel for the news of Douglas Monte Krahn Jr's passing.

The last time Doug and his little sister, Amy, were together they were sing 'Ain't no Mountain High Enough' in the car - music blaring- windows down - cold air flying through the night. That was apx 120hours before this page being created. From that moment within 48 hours of that last memory Amy and her family received the news of Doug's passing. In total shock and disbelief go through the emotions and the medical examiner viewing his body to details which remain private at this time. As their world stops life seems to be on fast forward mode and things are happening so fast without Doug, they just are unsure what to do.. do not know how to feel and trying to get through the days in this new life without Him.

Just today, 2/26/26, the family get together discussing details they never thought they would need to discuss. At least, not now. Not this soon, but they did and had to. Everything with this process is way more intensive than they thought. The purpose

Of this GoFundMe is to help with unexpected cost. This is a large sudden cost during this hardship that when I originally asked how I could help or offered to create this for them, Amy was in such shock being with the medical examiner when we chatted that she denied the help, but 120 hours later she talked to the family and they accepted the help. We are reaching out to friends, family and anyone who knew or didn't know Doug, but might have known someone who knew him that is willing and able to help. If God enters your heart and reveals for you to donate whatever you can, please knoe the family appreciates the support and we can gather together as a community to help take financial stress to a family in need.

Amy will forever be greatful for that last night with her Big brother. And as we remind ourselves of her memory, we all have OUR last memory of us with him or many more memories going through our minds. We ask if you have a memory to write it down and join family and friends on Saturday March 7th 9am to 11am Thunderbird Conservation Park 22800 N. 59th Ave, Glendale, AZ 85310 Ramada 6 to share those memories. If you are willing and able to speak to share, the family would appreciate hearing the memories and if you are unable to speak due to how difficult this news might be, please write down your memories, with your name and drop them in the memory box at the gathering.

We love you forever, Doug!
