Timothy Gilbert Douglas was born May 13, 1963, in Moline, to Gilbert Lee and Helen Marie (Lafferty) Douglas. He graduated from Moline High School in 1981, and married Karin Schimanek in 1985, in Denmark. He served in the US Army for 15 years, was a cavalry scout in Iraq during Desert Storm, and was awarded several medals and ribbons. After retirement, he was an engineer for DM&E Railroad for the past 16 years.

Tim was a proud military man from a military family. His father, brother and two sons all served in the Army. He was devoted to his family, loved his two dogs, Lola and Sabot, and enjoyed woodcarving, playing the guitar, traveling, and taking long motorcycle trips with his wife.

Tim is survived by his wife, Karin; two sons, Steven Douglas of East Moline, and Kevin Douglas and his wife Madison of Monroe, Washington; a grandson, Daniel Douglas; his mother, Helen Douglas of Rock Island; and siblings and spouses, Mary Frances and Jonathan Miles of Swansea, Illinois, Trudy and Terry O'Melia of Rock Island, Patrick and Sheri Douglas of Moline, and Kenneth (his best friend) and Reesa Douglas of Moline. He was preceded in death by his father, Gilbert Douglas, and a brother, Kevin Douglas.
