This resolution honors the memory of Douglas L. Atkin, a native of Ohio who lived in Smyrna, Tennessee, and was remembered as an exemplary public servant, talented musician, and devoted family man. The resolution highlights Atkin's life achievements, including graduating from Willoughby Union High School in 1956, playing drums in a high school marching band and rock and roll group, and remaining musically active throughout his life. It notes his religious involvement as a founding member of two local churches, his 66-year marriage to Linda Maitland Atkin, and his surviving family members, including sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
