He was the son of Leonard and Carrie (Mehuren) Cross. He was born in Hope, Maine on March 28, 1956.

Doug graduated from Belfast Area High School, Class of 1975. After high school Doug joined the family business of Well Drilling. Doug expanded his expertise to include water pump installation and repair in the early 2000s. In recent months his son Cody was proud to take over the business being the fourth generation to continue the family trade, as Doug transitioned into retirement.

He loved the northern woods, especially the Moosehead Lake region. He and his family built their beloved “camp” in Kokadjo, where they enjoyed many weekends of snowmobiling, four wheeling and fishing. He was known for his special talent in fabricating, his latest project was his wood tumbler that he and his friend Mike spent many hours on.
