Douglas Brigham Bassett
Douglas Brigham Bassett, 50, of Brattleboro died on May 28, 2024 of natural causes.
The son of the late William and Diane Bassett, Doug was born in Boston, Massachusetts on May 30, 1973.
Doug attended schools in Easton, Massachusetts, Brattleboro and Pioneer Valley, Massachusetts and ultimately receiving his GED.
Doug was an amazing artist and took classes at River Valley Gallery School downtown. His favorite drawing tools were Cray-pas pastels.
From a young age, Doug was always interested in the way things work. He could take apart a television, put it back together and have leftover parts that he claimed weren't needed. He was so brilliant! He loved to read the World Almanac for fun.
Doug had received some sort of amateur radio in high school and his love of radio began. Later in life he got his first job at WKVT and then moved on to WTSA. He had an amazing radio voice.
After years in radio, he then worked at Hannaford's in Produce and had become the Assistant Produce Manager. If you didn't catch Doug in the Produce department then you might see him flying around town on his beloved electric bike. Doug enjoyed simple joys and had a sweet, gentle soul.
He leaves behind his son, Daniel McCauley-Bassett of Chesapeake, Virginia and his sister, Elisabeth Bassett of Brattleboro along with many extended family members and friends. There will be a memorial service at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in Doug's name to Windham County Humane Society, PO Box 397, Brattleboro, VT 05302. Doug was always very fond of animals but especially cats.
