OBITUARY – DOUG DEARTH
It is with a sad heart that we note the passing of Doug Dearth. Doug worked with Britains and various others including Michigan Toy Soldiers and many more.
Doug was an accomplished artist, cartoonist and designer and worked for OTS, Matt Murphy and Hobby Bunker including the ads for The Chicagoland show.
Doug began his career over 20 years ago, creating toy soldier websites, graphic design, sculpting, and more. He was a man of many talents and a gentleman to boot.
The following is a tribute to Doug published on Facebook by the staff of Britains:
Today was a very rough day. Kenneth, Ted and I had to say goodbye to a dear friend. Doug Dearth was a longtime friend, a very talented coworker and a fun roommate. Many of you might know Doug as the artist behind DearthCo, the graphic designer for W. Britain Toy Soldier & Model Figure Company and a very talented cartoonist. The world is a lesser place with his absence.
Rest in peace, Doug – you will be greatly missed.
