Born November 30, 1957, in Kansas City, KS, he was the son of the late Thomas Sharp and Helen Walker Hostetter and the stepson of Kenneth Hostetter who survives of the home. Doug lived in the Kansas City, KS area during his early years where he worked at a sheltered workshop and moved to the rural Sweet Springs area over 30 years ago.

In addition to his stepfather, Ken Hostetter, he is survived by one brother, Monte Sharp (Pam) of Kansas City, KS; one sister-in-law, Mary Beth Sharp; as well as aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins who all loved Doug very much.

Doug was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Thomas “Tad” Sharp.

The world was a better place for Doug having been here.
