D. and Helen Rouse Townsend on May 4, 1954 in Wynnewood, Oklahoma and entered eternal life on January 27, 2018 in Sulphur, Oklahoma at the age of 63 years. After graduating High School he attended Duncan Vo-Tech where he studied auto mechanics and served in the United States Marine Corp.

He worked 5 years for Michelin Tires in Ardmore he began long haul trucking. He obtained his Class A CDL with HazMat certification When Joanie Barry first met Doug he came in Hardees for a burger and she was the cook. He told the waitress “He would give her $2.00 if Joanie would come to take his order.” Years later they began a courtship which led to being married on January 1, 1998. Doug’s hobbies included watching western movies, TALKING WITH PEOPLE ABOUT CARS, and listening to audio books. Doug never met a stranger, knew everyone, helped anyone who needed it and this was one of his biggest joys. It was important to teach Jimmy to remember that if you wanted to do something, do it right and always finish what you started. He will be remembered as always wanting to help people and encourage paying it forward.
