Douglas Barron Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 20, 2023.

Douglas (Doug) Edward Barron was born August 16, 1954, and died on August 15, 2023, one day before his 69th birthday. Doug's life was defined by acts of kindness, generosity, and sincerity. He spent his career in technical writing, loved to travel, and contributed to more than a few team trivia wins with his deep knowledge of world geography. His quiet presence and wry sense of humor will be greatly missed by his Aunt Barbara Grady and Uncle Richard Grady, cousins and other extended family, and many dear friends, all of whom were blessed to have Doug in their lives. Doug was preceded in death by his mother, Betty Ann Barron, other relatives and friends, and his beloved dog Essie. Family and friends are invited to gather to share memories of Doug on October 18, 2023, 5 - 8 p.m. at the Highland House in Mequon, Wisconsin.

I first met Doug while we were contract technical writers for a banking organization. Though he was quiet, his quirky sense of humor showed up pretty quickly. He was also a thorough and precise writer, and learned easily.

I have many a fond memory of Doug´s pithy comments that he dropped quickly and quietly as he passed my desk at work.

I loved hearing of his travels, seeing him at fundraisers, his little red econo cars, his smile and laugh in the aisles at work, and how he´d give me a blister report after walking in a charity fundraising walk.

I´ll miss his wry smile the most, and the trinkets/chocolates he´d leave on my desk from his recent travels.

I took one trip with him to Cincinnati Ohio for a STC conference. As expected, he shared small tidbits about buckeyes and local traditions like cinnamon in spaghetti. He was a bit of a conundrum as he was both an adventurer and sometimes stuck in his ways...like me.

You lived your life your way, as it should be.

I need to find that picture of us in Cinci. Here´s to you, Doug! You spread light and love wherever you went.
