Personal Life

Local Legacy

Rooted in Chattanooga Valley, the Veazey family has deep ties to Northwest Georgia and the surrounding communities. My grandparents, Norman and Mary Lee Veazey, made their home in Chattanooga Valley. Mary Lee Johnson Veazey descended from the Kelley family, early settlers with a historic cabin on the Chickamauga Battlefield. Norman Veazey was well known locally as a wrestling ring announcer in Chattanooga and as a player for the Chattanooga Lookouts.

My father, Doug Veazey, who passed away in 2021, was a 1955 graduate of Rossville High School, where he earned All-American honors and received football and baseball scholarships to Georgia Tech. He married Mary Thompson of Lafayette and Ft. Oglethorpe, and together they raised their family in the metro Atlanta area, with strong North Georgia roots still present. My mother currently lives in Fort Oglethorpe. They had 4 children. My older brother, Mike, passed away several years ago. My younger brother, Matt, and his wife live in the north Atlanta area where he works for the company our father started. My younger sister, Kristen, and her husband, Trent, live in Chickamauga.

Life Details

I was raised in Lawrenceville and graduated from Central Gwinnett High School. I attended and played football at West Georgia College and earned a business degree from Georgia State University. After multiple relocations during my FBI career, my family and I chose to return to northwest Georgia and have lived in Chickamauga for two decades.

I have been married for over 40 years to my high school sweetheart, Susan, who was an RN for more than 20 years. She worked at what was Hutcheson when we first moved here during 2006-2012. Then she was the children’s ministry and preschool Director at First Baptist Chickamauga until she retired in 2024.

We have two adult sons, A daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren. Our younger son, Gabe, graduated from Gordon Lee. Our older son, Kyle, went to high school in Nebraska.

Hobbies & Interest

I’ve tried to retire three times and have accepted that it is something I don’t do well. I retired from the Bureau on a Friday and started at UNUM the following Monday. When I retired from there, I took about six weeks off before working part-time with Wilson Funeral Homes, and one evening at work, Sheriff Wilson came in the door and saw me. Next thing I knew, I was an employee of the Walker County Sheriff’s Office. I retired from there and took some time to recover from surgery when I got a call from Judge Thompson, and now I’m a Drug Court Surveillance Officer. However, in my defense, I have learned how to work part-time and pick up some hobbies.

Music

I’ve always loved music and guitar. After years of hearing my wife play piano and sing, and my sons play guitar and sing, I finally took the time to watch YouTube and teach myself guitar. I love playing guitar. My playing is still getting better, and I quickly became quite adept at collecting guitars!

Podcast

I’ve listened to podcasts for a long time. A few years ago I decided to give it a try, so my friend and I developed a true-crime podcast in which we interview authors and discuss their books and the cases that led to the book. My podcast partner is a lawyer with advanced degrees in business and psychology, so her knowledge and my investigative experience go well together in bringing up different viewpoints to talk about with the authors. From there, I now produce several podcasts, including one that explores history from north Georgia to Ancient Rome. I have one that includes sermons and discussions of my son who is a pastor, one that caters to the health and well-being of lawyers, and one that tells real stories of adventure and calling that help people live the full life God has called them to live.

Acting

I have had opportunities to do multiple short films, as well as the opportunity to do television recordings that involve my work in the law enforcement field. I enjoy being able to become a different character when acting. My favorite to do so far has been my role as a priest in a short film(Our Father). Some of my other credits include: playing a grandfather in “Blue Notes”, and a documentary about me called “A Case for Faith”. When it comes to televison I have done the law enforcement shows: 48 Hours Mysteries, FBI Criminal Pursuits, ABC’s 20/20. I had my own local television show called “The Sports Show’ which I greatly enjoyed.
