Douglas Allen Prickett

Douglas Allen Prickett, of Nampa, Idaho, went home to be with his Lord and Savior October 5, 2020, after a sudden aortic dissection.

Doug was born in Nampa, Idaho, to Vera and Allen. His family moved to Oregon when he was a teenager. After high school, he joined the US Navy and served 3 years. When he was 22, he met his bride, the love of his life, Margie. They married on April 12th, 1984 in Canyon County. They have two sons: Kenny and Tony Prickett. They built their life in Nampa, where he worked many jobs, but one he took the most pride in was the Canyon County Sheriff’s Department. In 2004, he joined the Idaho Army National Guard. Doug proudly served two tours for the Army in Iraq Operation Iraqi Freedom III and Operation New Dawn. He retired from the Military in May of 2019.

He was a friend to all he met, and was a stranger to no one. He loved his family and friends passionately and fiercely. He was a beloved Husband, Father, Brother, Papa and El Padre. 

Doug was preceded in death by his mother Vera, and his Father Allen. He is survived by his Bride: Margie, Sons: Kenny (Staci), and Tony (Shallan), Step-Father: Bob Miller, Sisters: Susan (Scott) Drennan, and Cathy (Bert) Kirby; Grandchildren: Khia, Abigail, Noah, Ashlee, Brooklynn, and Kylan, Great-Grandchildren: Neo, and Austyn, as well as many cherished Aunts, Uncles, Nieces and Nephews.
