Douglas Carper Obituary
Douglas Andrew Carper, 31, of Grove City, formerly of Delaware, passed away unexpectedly Saturday, Nov. 14, 2015 at Berger Hospital in Circleville.
He was born Feb. 24, 1984 in Springfield to Terry Dean Carper and the late Patricia J. (Nasby) Carper.
Doug graduated from Wellington High School where he played basketball and then attended Wright State University before serving his country with two tours of duty. The first tour was with the U.S. Army from 2005-2009 in Iraq and later with the Army National Guard in Afghanistan in 2012.
He was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church in Delaware and this past June was baptized at the Grove City Church of the Nazarene. He loved sports, especially basketball and football, and was an avid Cincinnati Bengals fan. Growing up on a farm in Delaware County, he was a true outdoorsman enjoying hunting and fishing. He had a love of family, including his military family, and enjoyed helping people shown by his desire in finishing firefighting school and EMT certification recently.

Carper of Delaware; maternal grandmother, Audrey Nasby of Utica, N.Y.; in-laws, Fred (Laura) Fenner of Hillsboro; sister-in-law, Jaclyn Fenner of Kettering; several aunts, uncles, cousins; and a host of friends.
In addition to his mother Patricia, who passed away June 20, 2015; Doug was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Larry Dean Carper.
Graveside services will be held Monday, Nov. 23 at 11 a.m. at the Greenmound Cemetery in Kilbourne with full military honors conducted by the Delaware County Veterans Association.
