Mr. Douglas George Nugent

Douglas George Nugent of Roswell, Georgia, passed away in his sleep the evening of August 11th. He was 58 years old. Doug was the CEO of Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C., attorneys at law for 25 years, and was instrumental in building the law firm into one of the most well known law firms in the State of Georgia. Doug grew up in Commack, Long Island, New York. He graduated from Commack High School North and from the State University of New York at Stonybrook, where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Economics. He started working at the age of eight, helping his older brother deliver the New York Daily News. As a teenager, he pumped gas at a local gas station, cooked hot dogs at Nathan's Famous and read residential electric meters for the Long Island Lighting company. After graduation from college, he worked as a salesman for the Dunn and Bradstreet corporation in New York City and Atlanta. Doug moved to Atlanta in 1984. Doug achieved his greatest business success at Kenneth S. Nugent , PC, where he worked with his brother, sister, brother in law, and nephews and nieces to build the law firm from five employees to over two hundred. He was well loved and respected by everyone who he worked with, and will always be remembered as loving, fair and kind. Doug gave himself to many causes, but his passion was feeding the homeless at Clyde's Kitchen in Atlanta. He would bring a group of volunteers from the law firm to help prepare and serve meals on a regular basis. He was an avid golfer and member of Rivermont Country club. He parred his last hole on Thursday, gleefully pocketing twenty bucks of his friends. He enjoyed all sports as a child, playing stick ball in the streets, and playing softball in several leagues, most notably as a member of the Chauncey's on Long Island, and the Bhopal Indians at the Softball Country Club in Decatur. He enjoyed collecting guitars, a well earned nap, camping, sailing, music, and a nice cold mug of Guinness. He had many friends in life who loved him and who will all miss him dearly. He was a loving father, son and brother who took the concept of family to the highest level and who was loyal to the core. His greatest love of all was his wife, Diane, who he shared more than 25 years of life with. He is survived by his wife, Diane, his daughter, Madison Nugent, his son Jake Nugent, his parents, George and Marguerite Nugent, his brother, Ken Nugent, his sister Kerri Derrickson and brother in law Tim Derrickson, along with 8 nephews and nieces and their spouses. There will be a memorial service in the sanctuary at Roswell United Methodist Church on Wednesday, August 16th at 2 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Clyde's Kitchen in Atlanta, Georgia. All are welcome at the memorial service and reception. Please honor the family request for no visitation at the Nugent residence at this time.
