Douglas Roebuck Obituary

Doug was my boyfriend back in the late 70´s. My life was forever changed after meeting him. My music was influenced by him in a spiritual way! i hadn´t seen Doug in decades, but a little piece of my heart was always his... Rip Doug and keep playing i

DOUG AND I WERE A CLOSE BOND

WE MET IN HIGH SCHOOL AND

PLAYED IN BANDS TOGETHER

HE HAD AN INCREDIBLE VOICE

AND GUITAR STYLE .

I WOULD LIKEN HIM TO

KENNY RANKIN ,

WE LOVED TO HIKE UP

MOUNTAINS TO WATERFALLS

AND SING AND PLAY GUITAR

SERENADED BY THE SOUNDS OF

NATURE ALL AROUND US .

HIS LAUGHTER WAS CONTAGIOUS

AND FILLED WITH MAGIC WONDER

NOW HIS MENTAL BODY IS

EVERYWHERE IN THE ROOM

AS I SIT HERE IN REFLECTION

OF HIS CHARISMATIC BEING

MAY HIS SPIRIT REINCARNATE

WITH MAGNIFICENT SPLENDOR.

LOVE AND RESPECT GOD BLESS

Doug Roebuck used to come to engagements where my brother, Ted Ruybalid, a/k/a "Teddy Boy Floyd," was playing. I have nice clear recordings of three songs Doug sang at the Townhouse in Manitou Springs that I would be glad to e-mail to Doug's loved ones. My e-mail is: [email protected].

Doug was loyal to his friends and he was ready to be your good friend. I remember a small group of friends spending a cold night in the mountains just laughing and singing. I will remember when I think of him. Doug had so much musical talent, playing in bands a solo from when he was in high school.

I remember Doug playing his guitar at parties our neighbors had in the early 1970s. My best friend had a brother who was Doug's best friend. All the girls thought Doug was so good-looking. I'm so sorry for your loss.
