Douglas B. "Doug" Nodorft, 83, of Platteville, WI died Wednesday, November 5, 2025.

Doug was born December 6, 1941 in Platteville, the son of Burton and Maxine (Corlett) Nodorft. On November 30, 1963, he was united in marriage to Sharon Halferty at the First Congregational Church of Christ in Platteville. Doug was a lifelong truck driver first for his own business, Nodorft Livestock and Grain, then later driving for Sully Transport, Inc. He also helped his father, Burton, on the farm. Doug was a fabricator of items he needed and was a "Jack-of-all-trades".

Doug and Sharon visited classic Supper clubs, where he would enjoy a Brandy Old Fashion. They took many road trips enjoying the beautiful countryside. Doug was a great teacher when the grandkids were learning how to drive. If any family needed a dog sitter, he was your guy.

Doug is survived by his wife, Sharon, sons, John (Terri Jo Hicks) Nodorft and Scott (Cara) Nodorft, grandchildren, Chelsea Nodorft, Ryan Nodorft, Justin (Cheyenne) Nodorft and Jacob (Nkele Cyr) Nodorft, great-grandchildren, Ava, Braelin, Tinslee, Rhett, Reese and Ross, brothers, Tom Nodorft and Robert (Tarrie) Nodorft. He was preceded in death by his parents and his father and mother-in-law, Edward and Dorothy Halferty.

Funeral services will be at 3:00 PM on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at the Melby Funeral Home & Crematory, Platteville, WI. Pastor Mary Ann Floerke will officiate.
