Michael Lynn Douglas' Obituary
Michael Lynn Douglas
June 25, 1963 - March 14, 2025
Born in Midwest City, OK, Michael Lynn Douglas was a man of simple pleasures and profound love. A proud Marine Corps veteran, he served his country with honor from 1981 to 1984. His high school football days ignited a lifelong passion for the sport, and he remained a devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns.
Michael's heart was as big as his love for his family. He was a dedicated son to Jeanette, a loving husband to Derena, and a caring father to Tasha (38), Tiffany (37), Johnathan (35), Justin (33), Brandon (31), and Ashleigh (27). His nurturing spirit extended to his pets, including Oreo, Cookie Doe, Prinze, several Cocker Spaniels named Joe Crocker, and even the occasional stray cat.
Known for his secret BBQ sauce and his love of grilling, Michael found joy in the simple act of gathering loved ones around a bonfire, where he could sit in peace and savor the moment. His legacy of love, service, and presence will forever be cherished by those who knew him.
