Douglas Charles Houriet, age 59, died after a short illness on July 30, 2021.
A native of Jacksonville, Doug was the youngest son of Charles Gerald and Edith Garrett Houriet.
He was a 1979 graduate of Wolfson High School and later The University of North Florida.
In 1972, his family moved from Forest Hills to Mandarin when San Jose Blvd was still a two lane road.
He and his parents became charter members of Fruit Cove Baptist Church where he later taught a mixed Adult Bible Studies class of singles and couples.
He had recently developed a passion for growing fruit trees and was proud of his small grove of citrus, banana and mangoes. He hand-built his own koi pond.
He is survived by his brother and cousins.
A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date. Please make sure to check back for updates on service information.
