Douglas Johnson Obituary
DOUGLAS W. 74 passed away at his home in Plymouth on Saturday October 1, 2016. Survived by wife Mary Lou, sister Lynda (Tom Herman), sons Thomas and Mark (Trista), grandchildren Lucas and Claire. Doug was born October 21, 1942 and raised in Littleton, Colorado. He spent over three decades teaching English, Journalism, and Photography at Livonia Stevenson High School; and nearly four decades working part time for the Observer & Eccentric newspapers as a reporter, copy editor, photographer, and news editor. A dedicated family man, one of his biggest passions was taking the family on summer vacations. At home, he enjoyed reading mystery novels, watching TV, relaxing in the backyard pool, and growing flowers in the yard. Most of all, he loved spending time with his sons Tom, Mark, and his nephew Jamie. He was dedicated to giving the boys a happy childhood, filled with laughter and joy, and mindful to raise them to be responsible men. In January 2016, Doug and his wife Mary Lou celebrated 50 years of marriage. His dedication to his wife, family, friends, and neighbors was a big part of their life together. Services were held at the Schrader-Howell Funeral Home. To view full obituary and to leave a condolence, please visit
