P. Douglas Rose

P. Douglas Rose, 55, of Chester, passed away on Monday, November 2, 2020. Doug was born in Roanoke and raised in Colonial Heights. After graduating from James Madison University in 1987, Doug went to work at Dominion Resources where he retired as an IT Account Manager after 33 years. During his time at Dominion, Doug excelled at bringing people together and treated everyone he met with kindness and respect. Faith was a central part of Doug’s life, and he attended The Heights Baptist Church. Doug loved his trips to the beach in Pawley’s Island, SC, and they were a source of many wonderful family memories over the years. Most of all, he was a devoted husband of 30 years and a loving father. Doug was very active in his children’s lives and activities, taking the time to coach multiple little league sports teams, to attend numerous swim meets and dance recitals, and to teach Sunday school. His courage and strength throughout his battle with cancer was an inspiration to his family and friends.
