Danny Lawrence Douthit
September 26, 1947 ~ April 20, 2021
Danny Douthit passed away April 20, 2021 after a valiant fight against Covid-19. He was born September 26, 1947 in Turlock, California.
He moved to Texas in 1960 and met the love of his life, Ruth Westmoreland at a Halloween party in 1963. They married on November 6, 1965 and began their life's adventure together.
Danny was drafted into the Army in 1967 and proudly served his country in the Viet Nam War where he was presented with the Bronze Star for meritorious service. Upon his return from Viet Nam, He became a barber which would be an integral part of his life that connected him with so many of his friends.
His work ethic came from a self-taught drive and ambition that would center his life around providing for his family and giving back to others. His ambition to succeed led him to begin his own construction company, Douthit Contracting, Inc., which he grew for 40 years prior to his "retirement." Danny's work provided purpose and provision for his life but his passion was his family and giving back to the community.
Danny was so proud of his wife Ruth, his son, Danny and his daughter, Jennifer. However it was his grand children that filled his chest with pride more than anything else in his life. His desire to serve his community was a consistent thread that ran throughout his life ranging from involvement with outreach centers to election to city council posts. Danny was a proud and committed member of the Masonic Lodge and was a Shriner who enjoyed raising funds locally so they could be contributed to their life changing work.
