Publish in a newspaper
He was born in Bowling Green, KY to the late John A. and Gladys Marie Higgs Hanes. He was a salesman for American Home Design, a Christian, and an avid University of Kentucky sports fan-but more than anything he was a family man and his grandchildren were his world.
Doug is survived by his wife of 50 years Patti Newsome Hanes of TN. A daughter, Shanna Dawn Hanes (Joseph Reynolds) of Lawrenceburg, TN and his son, Douglas Adam Hanes (Shari) of White House, TN. Grandchildren, Emma, Olivia and Abby Hanes and Luca Hanes-Reynolds. Brothers and sisters, John Hanes (Bonnie), Bill Hanes (Gerri), Janice Hanes, David Hanes (Deceased). Several nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews and cousins. His mother-in-law, Betty Maxwell. Along with his life-long friends like Steve Phelps, Steve Miller, Dennis Harris, Lynn Fly Whitmer and so many others.
Friends may visit with the family Sunday, October 12, from 12 noon to 2:00 pm; with the Memorial Service, starting at 2:00 pm all at the J.C. Kirby and Son Broadway Chapel in Bowling Green, Kentucky. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
