Doug is preceded in death by his 8 siblings, his son, Mark Douglas Eldredge and daughter-in-law, Sherry Pollen Eldredge. Doug loved to work and taught his children that if you work hard, you can accomplish anything. At a young age he worked at Fred’s Repair and eventually with two of his brothers purchased and changed the name to Eldredges’ Cyclery and Mower.

He also worked for 40 years at the Union Pacific Railroad where he was involved in Junior Achievement where he passed his work ethic on to many young men involved. After retirement he worked with his son Mark at Newmark Development until Mark’s passing. The most important things in Doug’s life were his family, helping others and being kind to all.

He lived by the “Golden Rule” (Do unto others what you would have them do unto you). He loved the church and his dog Jet. Special thanks to the staff at the Ridge at Cottonwood for their devoted care for the last 4½ years.

He truly loved you all. Also, Brighton Hospice for their caring and unmatched care and support. Funeral Services will be held at 12 Noon on Friday, March 8, 2019 at Anderson & Goff Mortuary, 11859 S. 700 E., Draper, Utah.
