He was one of eight children born to the union of Gerald James Drewior and Fern Louise (Miller) Drewior.  He attended Monroe High School. For more than a decade, Doug was employed as a laborer at the Monroe Power Plant before retiring due to health issues.

Doug loved spending time outdoors whether he was cutting grass or spending weekends with his brothers at the Milan Dragway.  In his spare time, he also enjoyed wrenching on cars.  Doug enjoyed watching “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and the local news, making sure to keep his brother John up to speed on what was happening around the world.  Although he was a simple and quiet man, Doug made an impression on who knew him, and he will be dearly missed.
