Carl Montgomery Obituary
Born in Toledo, Ohio, Doug proudly served as a Reservist in the United States Army. He made his home in Marion, Ohio, where he and his wife raised their children and built a life rooted in faith, family, and hard work. Doug dedicated 40 years to BF Goodrich/Parker-Hannifin Stratoflex, where his commitment and steady leadership as Senior Plant Scheduler earned him the respect of many.
A man of deep faith, Doug was a devoted and active member of Marion First Church of the Nazarene, where he faithfully served for many years. After moving to Bucyrus in 2016, he continued his walk with the Lord through service and fellowship as a member of Bucyrus Nazarene Church. His love for God, his family, and his church community was evident in the way he lived each day. His wisdom, steady presence, and warm humor blessed everyone who knew him. He leaves behind a family who loved him dearly, and a legacy of love that will be cherished for generations.

I met Doug and Joyce soon after they began attending BNC. They became close friends, mentors, and then neighbors. They supported and helped me through some rough times before and after my mother passed away. Doug spent a considerable amount of time helping me to set up a personal budget and make some tough financial decisions. He was instrumental in helping me relocate next door to them. Doug often trimmed the grass along the sidewalk. He always seemed to be looking for ways to help and always reminded me that he was right next door and willing to help me in any way that he could.
