Wayne "Doug" Douglas

Wayne "Doug" Douglas was born on November 26, 1941 in Leesburg, Florida to Leslie Collins Douglas and Lottie Mae Hester. He was the middle child of three, and the only boy! He had an older sister, Paula and younger sister, Judy. He attended Leesburg High School in Leesburg, Florida, class of '59. Soon after high school, Wayne proudly enlisted in our armed forces. He served in the United States Air Force as a Missile Guidance Technician from November 3, 1963 ~ April 15, 1967. He received many accolades along the way ~ Air Force Outstanding Unit Award, Air Force Good Conduct Award, National Defense Service Medal, Air Force Missilman Badge and the Cold War Service Certificate of Recognition. His service to our country and our family will forever be thankful for. After his military service, Wayne went on to work in various agencies, such as the U.S. government, private defense firms, and later retired as the Director of International Business from Northrop Grumman.

Wayne married Neva McClelland on January 25, 1969 and they became the parents of four children, J, Jeff, Cyd and Ian. It was Neva who dubbed him "Doug", and he answered to it. Doug loved his family and they became very involved with church and close friends. He and Neva are members of Prestonwood Baptist Church, North Campus. Doug was also a Member Coordinator of Adult Bible Fellowship; Publicity Coordinator, Global Mission Outreach Volunteer, Special Events Coordinator and Shephard Group Leader.

When Doug wasn't working or helping at the church, he enjoyed listening to Country Western music, gardening and playing with his grandchildren and dogs. He loved to travel when he could, and recently returned from an Alaskan cruise. He loved his wife, his children, five grandchildren. He knew he wasn't perfect, and worked hard to be a better man, every day. He had a great sense of humor, was an excellent writer, and had an excellent singing voice. He would drop what he was working on to help anyone in need, and give anything. He was generous, kind and forgiving and will be missed tremendously.

Wayne "Doug" Douglas was called to meet his maker on Saturday, November 7, 2015. He was greeted in Heaven by his parents, Leslie & Lottie Mae Douglas, and his older sister, Paula.
