Roxanne and family, I only tonite learned of Doug's passing. Such a great loss to family friends and the Great State of NC he served and so loved. Doug was a courteous, thoughtful, gentleman with a quick wit and always made everyone feel special. He talked endlessly about family and friends and he served so many roles ensuring the people were always protected. I will miss my friend and send to you, and the family my prayers and deepest sympathy.

My wife and I are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our friend Doug. We were neighbors at Wrightsville Beach for may years. Despite challenges of serving on the board of directors, Doug was always positive and cheerful. We used to see him cooking on the BBQ grills and enjoyed lively conversation over cold drinks while the steaks sizzled on the grill. We really enjoyed his company. Best wishes and God bless,
Sincerely, Keith & Louanne

On behalf of the attorneys and staff of the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, I offer our heartfelt condolences on the passing of Judge Parsons. Doug served as Assistant U.S. Attorney here in the 1970s. Over the following decades prior to his appointment to the Superior Court bench, he was a very worthy and collegial adversary. He was also a fine gentleman. The legal profession will miss him. To his family, we are so sorry for your loss.

Doug was a very talented trial attorney, and exceptional Judge, and a close friend. He was very kind and gracious to me as a young attorney in Smithfield, and over the last several years, I have enjoyed seeing him when he rotated through Carteret County. He recently tried a murder case in Carteret for several weeks, and did not allow the situation to become volatile in the courtroom or in our community. He also has been a stalwart supporter of the NC Bar Association and its efforts, including the Transitioning Lawyers Commission. I could never thank him enough for his support of TLC's work over the last 5 years. I will miss him greatly, and will keep his family in my prayers during this difficult time. RIP Doug.

Doug was part of many great adventures while in Chapel Hill, and his support of our chapter was unwavering.

We have lost a fine and good friend. The State of North Carolina has lost a wise, honest, and upright lawyer.
He did everything with kindness and good humor. He was a gentleman.
He was a friendly face who gave me courage from the time we were first assigned seats as first year law students in August of 1972. For the next 45 years he's been a stalwart friend to me, my husband Michael and our son, Michael, Jr.
Our hearts go out to Roxanne, Michael, Rachael and their families.

The Penny
Remember this every time you pass that little penny in the parking lot.
I always thought that it was for Good Luck, but I love this version better:
I found a penny today
Just laying on the ground.
But it's not just a penny,
this little coin I've found.
Found pennies come from heaven,
That's what my Grandpa told me.
He said Angels toss them down.
Oh, how I loved that story.
He said when an Angel misses you,
They toss a penny down.
Sometimes just to cheer you up,
To make a smile out of your frown.
So, don't pass by that penny,
When you're feeling blue.
It may be a penny from heaven,
that an Angel's tossed to you.
An Angel is now watching over you.!

Judge Parsons was so loved by the New Hanover County Bar. He was especially kind to me because of the Wake Forest trips he took with my parents George and Gayle Mast. It was an honor to be in front of him as a prosecutor, he was always looking at the big picture, how could he help a person if they needed it, or give the justice needed. My heart goes out to you and your family, he will be so missed. We are all so shocked and saddened.

I met Doug in 1984 when I began my career as a state probation officer in Sampson County, NC. Our paths crossed daily and we shared many cases. He was always pleasant and professional during the representation of his clients. I cherished the continuation of our friendship after my departure to work with the federal probation system. He was always honest, trustworthy, and loyal to his many friends and clients. He will never know what his phone call to me after learning of my wife's struggle with cancer and his subsequent visit at her passing meant to me. I have lost a true friend and will always cherish his friendship. My sincere condolences to his family.

Doug was such a great guy. Always smiling. I will not only remember him for all the impressive accomplishments he has made as an adult, but I can't forget when he lived on Powell Street he was known for all his hard work mowing grass for all the neighbors. Then at night when we all got together and played " Kick the Can" he was truly a champion. I enjoyed being a fellow Methodist with Doug and know he is in Heaven.

I grew up with Doug in the 1950s on Powell Street in Clinton (along with about 30 other Powell Street kids) and have been friends with him ever since. We were even lifeguards together in the summer of 1965 at a local pool.. Doug has always been one of the nicest, most hardworking, and personable people you could want to know. Whenever we ran into each other through the years, we would chat, and he would always ask about my family members (by name), indicating his genuine interest in others. Doug has always been and will continue to be a source of pride for Clinton and Sampson County. I am going to miss that smile. Rest in peace, Doug. "Sue"

Doug appeared before me numerous times as a lawyer before he ascended to the bench. He was always fully prepared on the facts and well versed on the law. More importantly he was a lawyer in whom I, as a presiding judge, had complete confidence. He was a gentleman, a scholar and an outstanding lawyer. I cheered when he was selected for the Superior Court Bench. I grieve at his passing.

Doug was a great friend to Mary and me for decades. He loved his family, the law and his state. His public service was outstanding. What a great example his life was to all of us. Roxanne, Michael and Rachael were always part of the warm conversations we shared and so important to him. Our prayers are with you.

Our heartfelt condolences to the family of Judge Parsons. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I had the honor of serving with him in the North Carolina judiciary over the last five years. He was a prince of a fellow whose many kind words and manners made me like him even more every time I was with him. Doug was an able and skilled judge whose knowledge, experience and camaraderie will be greatly missed as well in our judiciary.
