Obituary published on Legacy.com by Globe Funeral Chapel - Olive Hill on Dec. 12, 2025.
Mr. William Douglas "Mugsy" Steagall, age 61, of
Olive Hill, Kentucky went home peacefully to be with the Lord on Tuesday morning, December 9, 2025 while working on the road in Crossville, Tennessee.
He was born March 19, 1964, in Rowan County, KY a son of the late Clarence and Druzella Parker Steagall.
Doug was a Christian and a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He was employed with the Local 181 Operators Union out of
Henderson, KY. Doug loved nothing more than taking care of other people. He enjoyed spending time with Leona, working in his garage, and most recently, seeing and sharing pictures of his sweet grandson. Doug "Mugsy" was always quick with a comeback, was never at a loss for words, and loved his family more than anything. Doug was a phone call away for anyone who needed him to get in to a locked car or pull a car that was stuck. If you needed something done, you could always call him. He also enjoyed going to car shows and, when he was working on the road, he loved cooking out with the other guys on the job.
Doug is survived by his cherished wife of almost 18 years, Leona Wilburn Steagall; his beloved grandson, JJ Steagall, two sons, William "DJ" Steagall and James Steagall (Lori McLeod), two daughters, Kristen (Chris) Bledsoe and Melissa Steagall, and two special bonus grandchildren, Caitlyn Bledsoe and Ethan Bledsoe. Additionally, he is survived by seven brothers and sisters-in-law - Carl Steagall, John (Clarice) Steagall, Paul (Janie) Steagall, Larry Steagall, Randy (Kathy) Steagall, Ben Steagall, and Jeff (Kelly) Steagall and three sisters, Brenda Dehart, Penny (James) Perry, and Pam Stafford. He is also survived by his wife's siblings – Sharon Valandingham, Alice Waggoner, Jerry (Brenda) Wilburn, Cathy Carroll, Tim (Kim) Wilburn, Ella Mae (Tony) James, Daris (Debbie) Wilburn, and Van Wilburn. Doug also leaves behind a great deal of nieces and nephews, extended family, friends, and coworkers that he had met on his many travels who will sadly miss him. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his uncle Lawrence Parker, his sister, Kathy Mae Steagall Dunaway, his father and mother-in-law, Glen and Arlene Wilburn, and his nephew, Jay Dehart.
