William Jason Douglas, Sr. beloved father, brother, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on January 14, 2024, at CVPH in Plattsburgh. He was born on August 29, 1964, in Keene Valley, NY, to his loving parents William and Iola Douglas.

William was a hardworking and caring individual. With his warm and helping nature, he made a positive impact on all those around him, both at work and in his personal life.

One of William's greatest joys in life was working with horses. He spent countless hours amidst their majestic presence, finding solace and a deep sense of fulfillment in their company. An adventurous soul, he loved embarking on road trips, with Florida being his favorite destination. His love for travel allowed him to explore the country and create beautiful memories.

An honorable veteran, he proudly served in the Army, and his commitment to his country will never be forgotten.

Above all, family was the center of his universe. He cherished his children, Brittany Douglas, William Douglas, Miranda (William) Ouimette, and Gisselle Douglas; and his sister Deborah (Archie) Depo. Holding a special place in his heart were his seven adored grandchildren, who brought immense joy and laughter into his life.

Friends and family are invited to attend the calling hours in remembrance of William, which will be held at Heidrick-Zaumetzer Funeral Home, 3 College St., Au Sable Forks, on January 19, 2024, from 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm with a Memorial Service to follow at 5:30 pm.
