Douglas J. Hebert, age 64, passed away with family by his side on Sunday evening, December 22, 2024 at The Carriage House of Bay City. The son of the late Lloyd and Priscilla (Ball) Hebert, Sr., he was born on July 18, 1960 in Bay City. Doug was a lifelong resident of Bay City and graduated from Bay City Western High School. He retired from Shively Brothers, Inc. in Saginaw. Doug enjoyed fishing, and was an avid sports fan, especially football and the Detroit Lions. For many years he was very active with the former Knights of Columbus Council #3590 in Auburn.
Doug is survived by his four siblings, Katherine VanSumeren of Pinconning, Lloyd A. (Kristine) Hebert, Jr. of Essexville, Kenneth (Sherry) Hebert, Sr. and Mark (Mary) Hebert, both of Bay City; several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends; and of course, his beloved fur baby, Zoey.
It was Doug's desire for cremation to take place. A family gathering to pay tribute to him will be held privately.
