Fire Marks
OBITUARIES:
and friend on Tuesday morning, November 17, 2020, at the age of 64.
Born on a beautiful fall morning in Septem- ber, Doug was the only son of Francis “Frank” W. and Beverly (Crawforth) Robison. He was a graduate of Davis High School and served
a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Toulouse France Mission, where he spoke fluent French and swore to this day he couldn’t remember. Yet, on a trip to France he chatted and joked with almost everyone he met.
Doug began his working career at Smith Detroit Diesel but was destined for a higher calling of service to his fellow man. His legendary empathetic and caring nature led him to become a well-known and respected paramedic firefighter in the state of Utah. He was a 42-year veteran of the fire service begin- ning his career as a voluntary firefighter with Kaysville Fire Department in 1978. In 1981 he hired on with Layton Fire, and in November of 1985 hired on full-time with Salt Lake County Fire. In 1988 he attended Weber State College, where he obtained his Paramedic certification. In addition to a full career with Layton Fire and Unified Fire (formerly Salt Lake County Fire), Doug spent 17 wonderful years working as an EMT/ Paramedic for the Davis County Sheriff ’s Office. Throughout his years in the fire service, the men and women he worked with truly were his cherished brothers and sisters. Among them he was known by many labels: teacher, mentor, partner, “Mr. Wonder- ful,” and consummate paramedic.
Doug had a gift for connecting with anyone. During his career he touched many lives, both patient and EMS family. Many a new boot was mentored under his wise and compassionate wing. Doug was also instrumental in preserv- ing the lives and careers of many of his EMS
family following the weight of a difficult call. Doug retired from the fire service on De- cember 16, 2015, but as a result of his unique gifts, he was asked to continue his service to his firefighter brothers and sisters as a Peer Support Counselor for Syracuse Fire. Doug always said he was lucky to have lived a 42- year dream job. To him it was an honor and a privilege to serve.
