Doug was a larger than life guy who would do anything for you. When he entered the room, you knew it! As a friend and someone that got to deal with Doug through the Gators and through his business, we lost a good one. He is now reunited in Heaven with his daughter PK.
The Gators organization gives our condolences and sends prayers to Megan, Tucker, Kolt and the rest of the Karrenbrock family. He will be truly missed but never forgotten!

We want to send our most heartfelt love and best wishes to the Karennbrock family. The youth sports world, their friends and family endured a terrible loss… I met Doug a few times. He was a big man, with an even bigger heart, a kind, gentle giant. This family has suffered so much lately, that our hearts are broken for them. Truly every ounce of our love. Rest easy PK and Doug

My heart is broken for the Karrenbrock family. Sweet Megan was a true lover and giver always showing up, always caring. Doug was the definition of a family man, whether he was coaching baseball, supporting those around him, or being the kind of farm neighbor everyone was lucky to have. I’ll always remember him following behind the tractor to New Melle, never missing a chance to lend a hand or share a smile.

Rest in Heaven, Doug Karrenbrock.
