John (Paul) Douroux, Jr., 76 years of age, passed away in Plantation, Florida on February 9, 2022. Born in New Orleans on December 22, 1945, he attended Holy Cross High School and Southeastern Louisiana College in Hammond, Louisiana. Paul relocated to Plantation, Florida in 1989 to be near his daughter. He had a successful career spanning more than 20 years in the garment industry where he was a teacher, mentor, and friend, touching the lives of so many. He retired from Levi Strauss & Co. in 2010. He lived a life full of travel, experiences, and fun. In retirement, his primary focus was his grandchildren. He aimed to enrich their lives however he could: school pick-ups, bookstore visits, afternoon activities, trips, and treats. Their happiness was his happiness.

He is predeceased by his parents, the late John Paul Douroux, Sr. and Aline Broussard Douroux. Paul is survived by his beloved daughter Danielle Douroux Layne, his son-in-law Joseph Layne, and granddaughters Madeline and Emily who brought joy every day to their “Papa.” He was the brother of three sisters: Suzanne Pecot (Richard Pecot), Judith Amox, and Nancy Parmelee.
