Douglas Donald Ochampaugh, 67, of Holland, Michigan passed away Tuesday, August 19, 2025 at Wings Home in Allegan, Michigan. Born August 8, 1958 in Allegan, he was the son of the late Donald Hasley and Doris May (Woolf) Ochampaugh. Doug had worked throughout most of his life as a supervisor in various manufacturing fields.
He loved the outdoors, specifically hunting, fishing and spending time in the woods. Doug never met a stranger and was always the life of any party. He often cracked jokes just because he enjoyed hearing other’s laughter. Doug was an avid collector and liked going antiquing to find his next treasures or materials for a new DIY project. He loved music, especially old country and 70’s rock. Doug was a caring and loving man who will be missed by many.
Left to cherish his memory are his children, Jacqueline (Adam) Dussia, Jerrolyn (Seth) Ranney and Donald Ochampaugh; siblings, Diane Martin, Debbie (Gary) Hendricks and Devon (Ken) Ribbink; and grandchildren, Callianne, Addison, Easton, Caleb, Alayna, Skylyn and Ashten.
In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life is being planned for a later date. To send a message of sympathy to the family, sign Doug’s online guest book, or to share a favorite memory, please visit: www.MichiganCremation.com
