He was born October 22, 1952, to Thomas Todd and  Lucy Call Dabney. He is survived by his devoted wife, Jo Dabney and her  daughter, Rebecca Tirs; his brother, Todd Dabney Jr.; his sister, Susan  Dabney Smith; and many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Doug&#8217;s  life exemplified the meaning of &#8220;joie de vivre&#8221; from its start until its  finish. He derived joy from his childhood and college activities and  escapades. He loved all sports, especially lacrosse and football,  hunting, fishing, golf, cycling and sailing. He was an adventurer, a  risktaker and a contemplative non-complainer. His never-failing cheerful  enjoyment of the simple pleasures in his life was inspirational for all  who knew him. Because of the superlative care given to him by his  parents and Jo and Becca, he was able to live courageously with grace  and dignity. He was proud of his education, thirteen years at St.  Christopher&#8217;s School and four years at The University. He avidly  followed UVA team sports. He delighted in all food, drink and good  cigars, and in stories and pictures of the lives of friends and family.  He liked telling stories of his past adventures and of imagining himself  having new ones. He loved his Tiggy kitty and his people and we him. He  fought the good fight. We miss him. We think Doug would appreciate the  wearing of UVA colors at the celebration of his life, so please feel  free to do so on Saturday, December 7, from 1 until 3 p.m. at  Bliley&#8217;s-Central, 3801 Augusta Avenue.
