Douglas Leis Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Doug was born on January 3, 1963, in Lima, OH, to James W. and Wilma M. (Cottrell) Leis, who both preceded him in death.
Doug was a 1981 graduate of Lima Senior High School. After graduation, he started working at Buckeye Rubber Products in Lima, and then he transitioned to the Honda Anna Engine Plant, where he retired. After retirement, he did maintenance work at LCC.
Doug enjoyed gardening, and he took pride in maintaining his lawn. He had a beautiful garden at his home that was full of vegetables. He also loved to barbecue, and he was a great cook.
He is survived by his brothers, David Leis and John (Lorene) Leis, his step-daughter, Monica (Andy) Hubbard, his grandsons, Drew & Brayden, his nephew, Owen, his niece, Sadie, and his uncle, Tom.
Following Doug's wishes, he will be cremated, and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Doug's honor may be made to a charity of the donor's choice. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Douglas Leis, please visit our Tree Store.
