Douglas R. Brauer was born May 8, 1939 in Brush, Colorado to Ewald and Genevieve Brauer. Doug grew up on a farm near Peetz, was a 1957 graduate of Peetz High School, attended Northeastern Junior College, and received a degree in Business Administration at Denver University in 1961, and thus began an interesting business career as a consultant, accountant, and comptroller providing services for various projects and companies throughout the United States.

Doug enjoyed being an athlete playing basketball and a pitcher for baseball, being a caregiver for his mom, spending time at the family farm, and being with family and friends.

He is survived by his sister, Barb (Jim) Slattenow of Fort Collins; a niece, Nicole (Ellick) Johnson of Highlands Ranch, Colorado; a nephew, Brett Slattenow of Fort Collins; and great-nephew and great-niece, Zander and Amelia Johnson.

We will miss you, Uncle Doug.
