Douglas Constant Obituary

Douglas K. Constant, 58, passed away on May 21, 2024 after a courageous struggle with cancer. Known by all as "Doug," he was a longtime resident of the Washington Metropolitan Area until 2021, when he moved to St. Petersburg, Florida. Born in Richmond, Virginia, Doug was the son of the late James E. Constant and the late Frances J. Constant. He was predeceased by his sister Vera Constant and is survived by nephew Derrick Constant, niece Brittney Constant, and several great-nieces and great-nephews.

Doug was a graduate of Norfolk State University and obtained a Masters Degree in Information Systems Management from Johns Hopkins University. He was employed by the American Psychological Association handling marketing and advertising for many APA publications. He retired from the APA and began a second career in real estate investing.

Doug maintained a life-long love of sports and was an avid tennis player and participated in bowling leagues for many years. Doug enjoyed travel and was known to take great pride in his homes and yards. Doug will be remembered for his warm good humor and will be greatly missed by his many close and loving friends. A celebration of Doug's life will be held in the future.

I am saddened to hear of Doug's passing. His long tenure with APA allowed me to get to know him in the Advertising Department. My heart goes out to his friends and family who will surely miss him dearly.

Doug was a kind soul and genuine. His illness was not discussed, but I saw how it ravaged his body. His tribe in St. Petersburg will and do miss him.
