Dougie, you were truly one of the most amazing people I’ve known. Always full of laughter, you lit up every room with your positive energy the moment you walked in. Even our phone calls carried that same warmth, no matter what was going on. My friend, I’ll say what we always said to each other: “May the Force be with you.” You’re among the stars now—rest in peace, bud.

Dougie - the world has lost an amazing human! Loved our chats when you were still here at work and the text messages over the past year when I checked in on you. You lit up every room you walked into and made everyone's day a brighter one for being in it. No matter what you were going through you were always LOD - "Living the Dream." I am sure your light is shining just as bright up there. We will miss you dearly and thoughts and love are with your family.

Dougie was always the light and laughter in every meeting we shared. I’ll always remember our close conversations and the personal battles he faced with such courage. It was truly a pleasure working with you, Dougie—you will be deeply missed. Kia kaha to the Archer whānau. May Dougie’s personality and presence continue to shine through the memories you hold of him

Taka lad. My heart is aching writing this! You are and always will be one of my best mates, fishing and Teddy Swims was our thing, I remember our party's, singing and dancing, Tennessee whiskey was our fave. Your knowledge and attitude to your work was nothing but the best. Rest easy my old pal, I love and miss you so much, God will bless you old pal, Taka Taka my brother from another mother x

Dougie, you will be deeply missed by so many. You played such a special part in my life a true friend who brought endless laughter and unforgettable memories along the way. Now you’re truly living the dream the words you would always say, free and at peace. Fly well, my dear friend. With love, Lyn (aka Lindauer)
