Douglas Struble Obituary
STRUBLE, DOUGLAS LARRY, age 78, of Rosebush, passed away Monday, December 9, 2024, at My Mid-Michigan Medical Center in Midland with his family by his side. Funeral Services for Doug will be held at Clark Family Funeral Chapel on Friday, December 13, 2024, at 11 a.m. with Benjamen Evers officiating. A luncheon will immediately follow in the Reflections Reception Center. Burial will take place at Woodland Cemetery in Rosebush. The family will receive friends on Thursday from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. and on Friday beginning at 10 a.m. until the time of the service. Memorial contributions may be made to Pardee Cancer Treatment Fund, 1221 South Dr., Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, 48858. Envelopes will be available at the funeral chapel. Doug was born March 19, 1946, in Mt. Pleasant, the son of Shelby and Juanita (McKenzie) Struble. He was a 1964 graduate of Weidman High School. Doug married Janet Fox on February 14, 1969, in Mt. Pleasant. He worked for Dow Chemical, serving in many positions throughout his 34 years, retiring in 2002. Following retirement, Doug took great pride in farming, passing along to his kids and grandkids his incredible work ethic. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and classic cars. Spending family time, whether it be sporting events or time at the family cottage on Littlefield Lake, was most important to him. Doug is survived by his wife of 55 years, Jan Struble; son Douglas Shelby Struble of Mt. Pleasant; daughter Michele Upton of Lake; grandchildren Emma (Sam) Kinderman, Anna, Isabele, James, and Addeline Struble, Brett, Sidney, and Jacob Upton; great-grandchildren Morgan and John; sisters Anita Packer and Sue (Dale) Denslow, both of Lake; in-laws Howard Fox, Norbert Fox, Earl (Doris) Fox, Rita Purtill, Mike (Laura) Fox, and Tom Fletcher. Doug was preceded in death by his parents; son-in-law Mark Upton; granddaughter Ellie Struble; brother-in-law Ray Packer; parents-in-law Edwin and Theresa Fox; sisters-in-law Mary Fletcher and Judy Fox; and brother-in-law Ron Purtill.

I never met Mr Struble however I have come to know him through his daughter Michele.
Over the years it has been clear that he was a strong positive influence on his children and especially grandchildren. His absence in their lives will be greatly missed but his contributions to their character will continue to bless them and those of us fortunate enough to know them.

I was a new people leader at Dow in 1994. Doug was a very polite and helpful person in the HR department. So glad he got to spend 20+ years after Dow doing what he loved, especially the grandkids part. RIP, sir!

My condolences to Doug's family for your loss. It was my pleasure to work with Doug at Dow, first at the Dowpon plant (649 Bldg) then later at the Herbicides plant (948 Bldg). He always handled himself professionally, relating personally to everyone involved in the manufacturing process. Much of the success we had during that time was due to Doug's even demeanor and problem solving. I'm certain he will be missed.
