LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Douglas Quiett, age 57, became an angel forever on May 9, 2015.

An unfortunate accident caused the passing of Doug or better known as “Dad,” “Brother” or “Papa” at a very young age.

Though his life on this earth was short, it was very meaningful; he touched, helped, supported and loved every person he came across and will continue to do so for eternity.

Doug was born in San Pablo, Calif. At the age of 10 he and his family moved to the lake (Nice, Calif.) in 1968 after spending their summers here for numerous years.

Doug went to Upper Lake High School, graduating with the class of 1976 and shortly thereafter started his own family.

Following the footsteps of his father, who was a union pipefitter for Standard Oil, Doug worked at The Geysers for Unocal Geothermal starting in the early 1980s and still worked up there for Petrochem as a mechanical insulation foreman upon his passing.

Like most of those who work, or have worked, at The Geysers, Doug very much loved his job and was very proud of his career. The only things that meant more to him than work was his family and his Harley, he loved his family more than words could ever explain.

He is survived by his brother, Robert; son, Travis; daughter, Rickki; daughter-in-law, Andrea; two beautiful granddaughters, Marina and Sandra; nephew, Bobby; niece, Desiree; cousin, Bill; and countless friends who were always considered family.

He is preceded in death by his father, Robert Quiett; stepfather, Nuel Emmons; and mother, Bette Emmons.

Doug will be forever remembered as a loving, caring, understanding, and compassionate friend, father, Papa, and brother and will be deeply missed forever.

My relationship with my father, Doug, like a lot of father and son relationships, had its ups and downs, but he could not have made me a prouder son throughout the last five years. My family and I are truly blessed to have had a father and Papa like Doug in our lives. Words can never explain how much he means to us. We love you Papa, we miss you. – Travis and Rickki.

Graveside services will be held at Upper Lake Cemetery at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 20, with a reception to follow.

Arrangements entrusted to Jones Mortuary, www.jonesmortuary.com FD311, Lakeport, Ca.

Michael A. Schenck
April 2, 1978-April 23, 2015

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A native of Lake County, Michael is the son of Richard Schenck and Mickie Main; loving father of Alexander and husband to Susan.

Voted “Most Likely to Succeed” by his 1996 Lower Lake High senior class, Michael did so, with enthusiasm.  
 
He passionately supported computer users during his career as a certified chief technology officer employed by Konocti Unified School District and as a private consultant countywide for more than 20 years.

A vital energy in bringing robotics study to local elementary learners, Michael was key in networking Lake County students and teachers with each other and the planet, empowering new potentials.
 
Michael loved everything techie, but not as much as he loved his son Alex (a fledgling techie).

Along with robotics and anything geeky, some of his many hobbies included fishing, boating and exploring the beauty of Northern California, as well as board games, head games and crafting walking sticks. 
 
A two-year struggle with brain cancer changed Michael's trajectory, but not his exuberance for life.

Well-known for his generous hugs and always-willing-to-help bravura, Michael will be missed by his family, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many local and online friends and colleagues. 
 
Please join us for a memorial gathering to be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 7, at Austin Park in Clearlake. Bring your instruments and share your memories!
 
The family prefers donations to the Children's Museum of Art and Science, Box 2634, Clearlake 95422 or to Hospice Services of Lake County, 1717 S. Main St., Lakeport, 95453, online at www.lakecountyhospice.org .
