Douglas Cooper Moody, Sr., was born on February 9, 1964, in Alexander City, Alabama. He passed away peacefully in his hometown on October 14, 2024. Known for his loving nature, witty humor, and passionate spirit, Douglas's zest for life and unwavering faith left an indelible mark on all who knew him.
Douglas graduated from Benjamin Russell High School, where he formed many lifelong friendships and laid the foundations for his future. After completing his education, he dedicated many years of service as a boiler operator at the steam plant of Wellborn Cabinets, where his hard work and dedication were well-respected by his colleagues.
A devout Christian, Douglas was a faithful servant of Christ and a pillar in his church community. He was a cherished member of God's House Church in Hackneyville, where he served with humility and joy as a deacon, Sunday School teacher, and mentor to the children. His commitment to his faith and church was a testament to his character and the love he had for his community.
Douglas's interests were as rich and varied as the life he led. An enthusiastic outdoorsman, he took pleasure in hunting and fishing, often sharing stories of his adventures and the peace he found in nature. His green thumb was evident to anyone who witnessed the bounty of his garden, and he was often sought after for his expertise in growing a vast array of plants.
A fervent supporter of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Douglas's passion for football was infectious. Game days were a time of joy and camaraderie, as he cheered on his favorite team with friends and family. But beyond his hobbies and interests, the role Douglas cherished most was that of a family man. His love for his family was immense, especially for his granddaughter, Margaret Ann, whom he adored. The title of Paw Paw was the one he held most dear and fulfilled with great pride and joy.
Douglas is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Kristi Moody; his daughter, Meredith (Michael) Wingler; his granddaughter, Margaret Ann Wingler; his brother, Frank (Danielle) Moody; his sister, Betty (Marlin) Smith; his sister-in-law, Melanie Moseley; and several adoring nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Frank Durell Moody, Sr.; his mother, Julia Moody; and his son, Douglas Cooper Moody, Jr. The memory of these loved ones provided him with strength and comfort throughout his life.
Douglas's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with love, friendship, and faith. Those who knew him will remember his infectious laughter, his warm embrace, and his unwavering commitment to the things he held dear. As we bid farewell to Douglas Cooper Moody, Sr., we take solace in knowing that his legacy will continue to inspire and uplift us.
