WHEREAS, Family and friends will forever treasure their
memories of Douglas Arnold Anderle of Gainesville, who died on
January 31, 2016, at the age of 50; and
WHEREAS, Doug Anderle was born in Wichita Falls on September
15, 1965, to Orville and Shirley Anderle; after graduating from
high school in Lindsay in 1984, he studied agriculture at North
Central Texas College before becoming the main ranch hand at Wolf
Creek Ranch; in 1990, he was joined in matrimony to Brenda
Haverkamp, with whom he went on to share more than 25 years, and he
was the proud father of three children, Abby, Caleb, and Evan; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Anderle worked in Australia as part of an
exchange program before moving with his wife to Baggs, Wyoming; the
couple then settled in Gainesville, where they started a ranch; in
1997, Mr. Anderle joined the Gainesville Fire Department, and over
the course of his exemplary 19-year tenure with the department, he
worked his way up to lieutenant; in April 2010, he was named "City
Employee of the Month" for saving the city money by refitting
couplings from old fire hoses onto new ones; and
WHEREAS, Although the life of this loving family man and
dedicated firefighter ended far too soon, Doug Anderle leaves
behind a record of service that his loved ones can forever remember
with pride; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas

prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Douglas
Anderle.
