Douglas Wayne Hartman of Cozad passed away Monday, December 7, 2020 at Bryan Memorial Hospital in Lincoln at the age of 62. Doug was born July 15, 1958 in Cozad, Nebraska to Donald "Buck" and Charlotte (Baker) Hartman. Doug went to school in Cozad and graduated with the class of 1977. He attended Grace College of the Bible in Omaha where he met Kim Schoof, who would become his wife. They married on October 4, 1980 and moved to Deshler, Nebraska where Doug worked at Reinke Manufacturing until he was laid off in 1982. They then moved to Cozad where Doug worked a few jobs until he became employed at Monroe Auto. He worked there until the plant was shut down and then went to work at Dayton Phoenix Group in Gothenburg, where he was presently employed. Doug and Kim became parents to Rachel Nicole in 1983 and Lydia Susanne in 1984. Doug loved his family and his Huskers. He always said that he thought a true fan was loyal whether their team won or lost, although he preferred them to win! He enjoyed spoiling his grandkids, even earning the nickname "Spoiler". He was their biggest fan, supporting them in their various activities. He was a man of few words but his smile spoke volumes.
