WHEREAS, Family and friends will forever treasure their |
|
|
memories of Douglas Arnold Anderle of Gainesville, who died on |
|
|
January 31, 2016, at the age of 50; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Doug Anderle was born in Wichita Falls on September |
|
|
15, 1965, to Orville and Shirley Anderle; after graduating from |
|
|
high school in Lindsay in 1984, he studied agriculture at North |
|
|
Central Texas College before becoming the main ranch hand at Wolf |
|
|
Creek Ranch; in 1990, he was joined in matrimony to Brenda |
|
|
Haverkamp, with whom he went on to share more than 25 years, and he |
|
|
was the proud father of three children, Abby, Caleb, and Evan; and |
|

|
|
exchange program before moving with his wife to Baggs, Wyoming; the |
|
|
couple then settled in Gainesville, where they started a ranch; in |
|
|
1997, Mr. Anderle joined the Gainesville Fire Department, and over |
|
|
the course of his exemplary 19-year tenure with the department, he |
|
|
worked his way up to lieutenant; in April 2010, he was named "City |
|
|
Employee of the Month" for saving the city money by refitting |
|
|
couplings from old fire hoses onto new ones; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although the life of this loving family man and |
|
|
dedicated firefighter ended far too soon, Doug Anderle leaves |
|
|
behind a record of service that his loved ones can forever remember |
|
|
with pride; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
