Simple Traditions by Bradshaw - Saint Paul - West SideDouglas Cossette Obituary
It's with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband Douglas Brian Cossette.
Doug went to be with our Lord on September 27, 2025 at Our Lady of Peace in Saint Paul Minnesota.
Doug was a cherished husband and a wonderful father.
He was kind, generous and hard-working.
Doug was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who asked.
Doug was a great provider for his family. In his profession Doug always went above and beyond what was needed for his company and his customers.
Doug will be missed by all who knew him.
Doug is survived by his wife Karen, his children Doug Jr. and Asija-Rae, his eight grandchildren, his mother Gloria Henthorne, his sister Bonnie Ollila and his brother Robert Schreiber.
Friends and family are invited to a visitation to be held at Simple Traditions, 488 Humboldt Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota 55107 on Sunday October 19, 2025 from 2-5pm.
A celebration of Doug's life to be held in 2026.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
