He was born October 19, 1962 in Portland, Oregon, a son of Dr. Lynn Bennion and Joanne Stuart Robinson. He moved with his family to the Ogden area when he was two years old. Doug attended schools in the Ogden School District, graduating from Ogden High in 1981. He also attended Weber State College.

On August 24, 1990, Doug married the love of his life, Valerie Ann Taylor, in Ogden. Together, they have two beautiful sons, Kaden Douglas and Cameron Russell. Doug enjoyed doing all things involving his family. Whether it be hockey, baseball, basketball or soccer, Doug was a relentless fan at all of his sons'' sporting events. Coaching, cheering, celebrating, loving and sharing are some of the things he did best. Doug had an amazing sense of style and redefined the term "metro-male".

Doug enjoyed many hobbies which include skiing, fishing, boating, golf, and staying fit. He had a deep appreciation for nature''s beauty and kept an immaculate yard with beautiful flower beds. He created a spectacular saltwater fish tank which was his own slice of the deep blue. Doug''s haven was his backyard which was enjoyed by everyone young and old whether in the pool or on the ice rink.
