   Douglas G. Zook, son of Charles W. and Helen M. (Fischer) Zook, was born on October 4, 1956, in Des Moines, Iowa. He grew up in Perry and graduated from high school in Waukee.

   Doug operated a gas station with his father in Perry. He then studied to be and worked as a diesel mechanic in the Des Moines area and managed the Bar-B truck stop for a time. In the early 1990's, Doug was a part-owner and operator of Coon Bowl in Coon Rapids. Doug had always been interested in the sound and lighting industry and in the mid-1990's started his own company, A to Z Enterprises, in Coon Rapids. His passion for concert sound and light production translated into a very successful company with clients all over the United States. On September 21, 2003, Doug was united in marriage with Elizabeth (Canavan) Hachmeister in Las Vegas, Nevada.

   Above all, Doug enjoyed his family and friends and never knew a stranger. He was interested in his classic cars, boats, being near the water and bowling. He played the drums and performed in bands through the years.

   Doug died from cancer at home in Panora, Iowa, surrounded by family and loved ones early on Saturday morning, September 8, 2007, at the age of 50 years, 11 months, 4 days.

   He is preceded in death by his grandparents Gordon and Juanita Zook, Carl and Alma Fischer; and his father Charles Zook.
